Particle motion in surface waves is __________ motion.

gulaghasi [49]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em>B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Longitudinal waves</u></em> are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
<em><u>Transverse waves</u></em> on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
In <em><u>surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion.</u></em> Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.

A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one time it is r

atroni [7]

(a) $2.79 rev/s^2$

The angular acceleration can be calculated by using the following equation:

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta$

where:

$\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

$\theta=50.0 rev$ is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for $\alpha$ , we find

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2d}=\frac{(20.0 rev/s)^2-(11.0 rev/s)^2}{2(50.0 rev)}=2.79 rev/s^2$

(b) 3.23 s

The time needed to complete the 50.0 revolutions can be found by using the equation:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{20.0 rev/s-11.0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.23 s$

(c) 3.94 s

Assuming the disk always kept the same acceleration, then the time required to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found again by using

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{11.0 rev/s-0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.94 s$

(d) 21.7 revolutions

The number of revolutions made by the disk to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found by using

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta$

where:

$\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 0 rev/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

$\theta=?$ is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for $\theta$ , we find

$\theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha}=\frac{(11.0 rev/s)^2-0^2}{2(2.79 rev/s^2)}=21.7 rev$

The earth rotates about its pole once every 24 hrs. The distance from the pole to a location on the Earth is 35* north latitude

Oksana_A [137]

The angular velocity, ω=
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)
= 377.2 m/s
