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

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.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time

= 2π R / Time

= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60

= 5.23 m /s

b )

centrifugal force = m v² /R

= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50

= 77.47 N

Apparent weight at the highest point

real weight  - centrifugal force

= 882 - 77.47

= 804.53 N

Apparent weight at the lowest point

real weight  + centrifugal force

= 882 +77.47

= 959.47 N

c )  if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero

centrifugal force = weight

mv² /R = mg

v² = gR

= 9.8 X 50

v = 22.13 m /s

d )

apparent weight

mg - mv² / R

= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50

= 882 +  882

= 1764 N

A mass hanging from a spring is set in motion and its ensuing velocity is given by v (t )equals 2 pi cosine pi t for tgreater th
lianna [129]

Answer:

2(maximum), -2(minimum), -2(maximum).

Explanation:

V(t)= 2πcos πt--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Therefore, there is a need to integrate v(t) to get S(t).

S(t)= 2×sinπt + C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Applying the condition given, we have s(0)= 0.

S(0)= 2sin ×π(0) + C.

Which means that; 0+C= 0. That is; C=0.

S(t)= 2 sin πt.

The mass moves to its highest positions at time,t=half(1/2=.5) and time,t=2.5.

Take note that;  sin(π/2) = sin(5π/2) = 1 .

Also, the mass moves to its lowest position at time,t=(3/2); also, sin(3π/2) = -1.

Therefore, we have that 2 maximum; -2 minimum and -2 maximum.

The drawing shows a wire composed of three segments, AB, BC, and CD. There is a current of I = 2.0 A in the wire. There is also
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is zero, because the magnetic field is parallel to the wire.

In fact, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic field on the wire is

where I is the current in the wire, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity and  the angle between the direction of B and the wire. In our problem, B and the wire are parallel, so the angle is  and so , therefore the magnetic force is zero: F=0.

Can you ever absolutely prove that a hypothesis is correct? Explain.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Yes you can, with using scientific experiment.

Ask a question -- Do background Research -- Construct a Hypothesis --Test with an Experiment -- Procedure working? -- Yes or no? -- Analyze Data and Draw Conclusions

With an experiment you can discover if its correct or not.

Hope this helps ! <3
