Answer:

The disturbance of molecules are perpendicular to wave motion

Explanation:

Transverse waves: in transverse waves all the medium moles vibrates perpendicular to the wave motion such that the net displacement of all molecules are zero.

While in longitudinal waves all the molecules will oscillate in the direction of wave propagation. All molecules transfer the energy from one point to other point while oscillating parallel to the wave propagation direction.

What velocity does a 2kg mass have when its kinetic energy is 16 J

alexandr402 [8]

We can use the equation for kinetic energy, K=1/2mv².
Your given variables are already in the correct units, so we can just plug in the variables and solve for v.

K = 1/2mv²
16 = 1/2(2)v²
16 = (1)v²
√16 = v
v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of a 2 kg mass with 16 J of kinetic energy is 4 m/s.
Hope this is helpful!

A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

If temperature increases, then pressure __________.

lilavasa [31]

If the temperature increases, then pressure increases too. (The molecules in the gas move faster, exerting a greater force. This increases the pressure.)
