Answer: The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

In longitudinal wave, the vibrations of the particle of the medium is parallel to the direction of the motion of the wave.

In transverse wave, the vibrations of the particle of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the wave.

In surface wave, the particles of the medium undergo circular motion. The surface wave is neither longitudinal nor transverse.

Therefore, surface waves are the disturbances which travel in the circular motion.

We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,

larisa [96]

Answer:

The final charges of each sphere are: q_A = 3/8 Q , q_B = 3/8 Q , q_C = 3/4 Q

Explanation:

This problem asks for the final charge of each sphere, for this we must use that the charge is distributed evenly over a metal surface.

Let's start Sphere A makes contact with sphere B, whereby each one ends with half of the initial charge, at this point

q_A = Q / 2

q_B = Q / 2

Now sphere A touches sphere C, ending with half the charge

q_A = ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

q_B = ¼ Q

Now the sphere A that has Q / 4 of the initial charge is put in contact with the sphere B that has Q / 2 of the initial charge, the total charge is the sum of the charge

q = Q / 4 + Q / 2 = ¾ Q

This is the charge distributed between the two spheres, sphere A is 3/8 Q and sphere B is 3/8 Q

q_A = 3/8 Q

q_B = 3/8 Q

The final charges of each sphere are:

q_A = 3/8 Q

q_B = 3/8 Q

q_C = 3/4 Q

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!? After chasing its prey, a cougar leaves skid marks that are 236 m in length. Assuming the cougar sk

malfutka [58]

Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.

Vikentia [17]

The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the Third law that states:

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.

So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

 $FA = -FB$
