Objects floating in the water, like buoys, only bob up and down when waves pass. Why do they not get pushed all the way to where

ver the wave goes

Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.

1) The energy held in the molecules that your lunch is composed of
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Chemical energy

Explanation:

The energy held in the foods molecules a lunch pack is composed of is chemical energy.

They occur within food substances which originates from plants and animals as giant organic molecules.

  • Since food is often derived from plants and animals.
  • Plants produce their own food by producing macromolecules from simple inorganic substances in the environment.
  • Animals takes up these food and build their own body through it.
  • Plants and animal parts constitutes organic molecules in which chemical energy is duly stored.
  • When the molecules are broken down, they released their chemical potential energy into heat energy.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.93-kg object is at +2.91 m, a 2.95-kg object is at +2.43 m, a 2.41-kg
Anna [14]

Answer:

0.958 m

Explanation:

So the total mass of the system is

M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28  kg

let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation

My = m_1y_1 + m_2y_2 +m_3y_3 + m_4y_4

11.28y = 1.93*2.91 + 2.95*2.43 + 2.41*0 + 3.99*(-0.496) = 10.806

y = \frac{10.806}{11.28} = 0.958 m

So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin

Compare the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. Mars is rich in oxygen, like ours, accounting for its red surface. Like Earth, nitrog
enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

Venus's atmosphere is very thick, dry and hot whereas Mars's atmosphere is very thin and cold.

Both Venus's and Mars's atmospheres are about 95 percent carbon dioxide.

The surface temperature of Venus is around 890 degrees F, the hottest average temperature in the Solar System. This is due to abundance of greenhouse gasses. The atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane). Since CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, the radiation from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere of Venus producing an extremely high surface temperature.

Mars has an atmospheric composition of 95% CO2, 3% N2, 2% Ar and less than 1% O2.A high noble gas content implies that Mar's atmosphere was much thicker in the past (noble gases do not react with other elements and are heavy enough to stay within the gravitational field of Mars). The climate on Mars is very desert-like due to its thin atmosphere. There is too little mass in the atmosphere to hold in heat so the warmest daytime temperatures are around 50 degrees F, but the nighttime temperatures are -170 degrees F. Other weather features are massive dust storms and occasional CO2 fog in the canyons.
