Answer : The correct option is, Their direction of motion is east and west.

Explanation :

There are two types of waves :

Longitudinal waves : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Transverse wave : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

When a transverse wave is traveling from north to south then the direction of  motion of the wave particle will be perpendicular to north-south direction which is east-west direction.

Hence, the correct option is, Their direction of motion is east and west.

Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving)  So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave

F all of the energy in a falling object's gravitational potential energy store is transferred to its kinetic energy store by the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so let's derive the relationship.

For an object that is at a height H above the ground, and is not moving, the potential energy will be:

U = m*g*H

where m is the mass of the object, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Now, the kinetic energy of an object can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where v is the velocity.

Now, when we drop the object, the potential energy begins to transform into kinetic energy, and by the conservation of the energy, by the moment that H is equal to zero (So the potential energy is zero) all the initial potential energy must now be converted into kinetic energy.

Uinitial = Kfinal.

m*g*H = (1/2)*m*v^2

v^2 = 2*g*H

v = √(2*g*H)

So we expressed the final velocity (the velocity at which the object impacts the ground) in terms of the height, H.

The gauge pressure inside an alveolus with a 200 µm radius is 25 mmHg, while the blood pressure outside is only 10 mmHg. Assumin
alekssr [168]

Answer:

The surface tension is 0.0318 N/m and is sufficiently less than the surface tension of the water.

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of an alveolus, R = 200\mu m = 200\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Gauge Pressure inside, P_{in} = 25\ mmHg

Blood Pressure outside, P_{o} = 10\ mmHg

Now,

Change in pressure, \Delta P = 25 - 10 = 15\ mmHg = 1.99\times 10^{3}\ Pa

Since the alveolus is considered to be a spherical shell

The surface tension can be calculated as:

\Delta P = \frac{4\pi T}{R}

T = \frac{1.99\times 10^{3}\times 200\times 10^{- 6}}{4\pi} = 0.0318\ N/m = 0.318\ mN/m

And we know that the surface tension of water is 72.8 mN/m

Thus the surface tension of the alveolus is much lesser as compared to the surface tension of water.
