The correct answer is A. There are forces acting on you.

Explanation:

Newton's first law states objects or bodies tend to remain in a certain state except if there are forces that act on them, in this way an object will keep moving or an object will not move except if there is an external force, this constant state is called inertia. According to this, if you slide across an icy sidewalk and eventually slow down is because there is a force that acts on you such as air resistance, friction, among others and these "break" inertia. Thus, you will eventually slow down because there are forces acting on you.

A wave passes along the surface of the water in a ripple tank. Describe the motion of a molecule on the surface as the water pas
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.
