Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

When the frequency of an ac circuit is decreased, the current in the circuit increases. which combination of elements is most li
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The combination of elements most likely to comprise the circuit are resistor, inductor and capacitor

Explanation:

The impedance of an LCR circuit shown as

     Z = √R² + (X↓l - X↓c)²

     Z​ = √R² + (2π∨L - 1/2π∨c)²

Variation of Z with respect to υ is shown in the figure.

As υ increases, Z decreases and so the current increases.

At υ = υ↓r

Z is minimum, current is maximum. Beyond

    υ = υ↓r

​Z increases and so current decreases.

so the combination of circuit elements that is most suitable to comprise

the circuit is R, L and C.

Question 27 a motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144km going upstream. the return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. what is th
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.

Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
                 (x - y)(3) = 144

Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
                (x + y)(2) = 144

The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
                  3x - 3y  = 144
                  2x + 2y = 144

We use either elimination or substitution.
 
We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
                   y =  -(144 - 3x)/3

Substitute this to the second equation,
            2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60
