<span>The correct option is: (A) Transverse Wave

Explanation:
Transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.

In this case, consider the crowd as the medium and the perceived motion of the wave as the propagation. When the crowd moves up and down, the perceived wave be either from left to right or right to left. In either case, the crowd movement is perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. Imagine the crowd's up-down movement along y-axis and the perceived propagation of the wave along x-axis. Both axes are perpendicular to each other. Hence, the correct option is (A) Transverse wave.</span>

Do you believe that global warming is happening? Tell why or why not. If you believe global warming is happening, what can we do
adoni [48]

Answer:

Yes I do believe global warming is happening, mainly because there is a plethora of data and research from scientists to support the claim. The effects of global warming around us are clearly observed as well, such as the rise in acidity in the oceans. Another example is in the Artic, where a natural occurence takes place. Ice freezes and cold salty water takes its place, and because of it's high density it sinks and sweeps across the ocean floor. That cold water is then replaced by warmer water, and this is called the global ocean conveyor belt. As seen through the example with the Artic, ocean temperature plays a key role in the conveyor belt. Climate change is fueled through human activities, which could harm the system. If one part of the conveyor belt were to break down, such as the one in the Artic,  nutrients will not be distributed to start the food chain. Organisms such as phytoplankton need those nutrients to thrive. If phytoplankton are endangered, all life in the oceans is endangered. So as we can see, global warming is extremely harmful to the environment and it's effects are observed around us.

To slow global warming down we should consume less meat, and go to vegan or vegetarian diets. Your carbon footprint is halved by consuming less meat and eating a more vegan or vegetarian diet. Another thing is that we as a society should stop using so much plastic. It takes more than a century to degrade, most landfills are composed of it. Microplastics also get into our oceans, and our fish end up consuming them.

A 20000 kg subway train initially traveling at 18.5 m/s slows to a stop in a station and then stays there long enough for its br
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

rise the air temperature is 0.179241 K

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 20000 kg

velocity  = 18.5 m/s

long = 65 m

wide = 20 m

height = 12 m

density of the air = 1.20 kg/ m³

specific heat = 1020 J/(kg*K)

to find out

how much does the air temperature in the station rise

solution

we know here Energy lost by the train that is calculated by  

loss in the kinetic energy that is = 1/2 m v²

loss in the kinetic energy = 0.5 × 20000 ×18.5²

loss in the kinetic energy  is 3422500 J

and

this energy is used here to rise the air temperature that is KE / ( specific hat × mass )

so here  

air volume = 65 ×20×12

air volume = 15600 m³

air mass  =  ρ × V = 1.2 × 15600

air mass = 18720 kg

so

rise the air temperature = 3422500 / ( 1020 × 18720)

rise the air temperature is 0.179241 K
