Answer: The correct answer is "air and water".

Explanation:

Ocean wave is a surface wave. It occurs at the surface of the ocean. Surface wave travels both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the wave. The surface wave is neither transverse nor longitudinal wave.

Ocean wave is caused due to the motion of wind across the surface of water.

There is a friction between the water molecules and air molecules which causes energy to be transferred from wind to water.

Therefore, an ocean wave travels at the surface between air and water media.

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the
diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the  charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.

You are sitting on the beach and wondering about the properties of mechanical waves. Describe them in terms of ocean waves.
Rudiy27

Answer:

The ocean waves is a mechanical wave that transmits mechanical energy in the wave by the synchronized and repeated oscillation of the waters about an equilibrium level such that as the wave approaches the shoreline, and the water depth decreases, the height of the wave also increases reflecting the effective transmission of energy while the medium which is the water through which the wave propagates, move back and forth within a small region

Explanation:

A mechanical wave like other waves is the oscillation of a field about an equilibrium level. In mechanical waves, the field consists of the oscillating matter such that the wave transmits energy through a medium. The displacement of the medium through which the wave energy is limited such that the wave energy is conserved to travel far.
