<span>Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction which the wave moves</span>
Answer:
The volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min
Explanation:
Given;
Boyle's law, PV = C
where;
P is pressure of the gas
V is volume of the gas
C is constant
Differentiate this equation using product rule:
Given;
(increasing pressure rate of the gas) = 40 kPa/min
V (volume of the gas) = 600 cm³
P (pressure of the gas) = 150 kPa
Substitute in these values in the differential equation above and calculate the rate at which the volume is decreasing ( 
);
(600 x 40) + (150 x ) = 0
Therefore, the volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min
Answer:
2.06 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.
Momentum before collision
Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5
Momentum after collision
The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4
Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4
9v=18.5
V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s
Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
Answer:
The space surrounding a charged object is affected by the presence of the charge; an electric field is established in that space. A charged object creates an electric field - an alteration of the space or field in the region that surrounds it. Other charges in that field would feel the unusual alteration of the space.
Explanation:
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.
