The crowd in a stadium creates a wave traveling across the stands by having people stand up and then sit down one after another.

The people move up and down creating the appearance of a wave moving across the stadium. This type of wave is best described as a) transverse wave b) compression wave c) elliptical wave d) electromagnetic wave

<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>

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against  or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually  considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.

A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =
jarptica [38.1K]

           Kinetic energy  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second.  So we'll have to
make that conversion.

        KE  =  (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

               =  (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)²  (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

               =  (725.5) · ( 40/3 )²  ·  ( kg·m² / sec²)

               =    128,978  joules  (rounded)

A vibrating object produces periodic waves with a wavelength of 53 cm and a frequency of 15 Hz. How fast do these waves move awa
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

v = 7.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of a wave, \lambda=53\ cm=0.53\ m

Frequency of a wave, f = 15 Hz

We need to find the speed of the wave. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=15\ Hz\times 0.53\ m\\\\v=7.95\ m/s

So, the wave move with a speed of 7.95 m/s.

Models are very common. The ingredients list on a bottle of ketchup is a model of its contents, and margarine is a model of butter. A box score from a baseball game is a model of the actual event. A trial over an automobile accident is a model of the actual accident.
