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
Physics
1 answer:
weeeeeb [17]3 years ago

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.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

Calculate the limit of resolution for the oil lens of your microscope. assume an average wavelength of 500 nm
natima [27]
The resolution of a microscope is the distance with the shortest measurement between two different points given a specimen  with the premise that it can still be seen clearly or distinguished by the one looking through the microscope. It can be calculate from the ratio of the wavelength of the light and twice the numerical aperture or the refractive index of the lens. Most of the microscopes have a numerical aperture ranging from 1.2 to 1.4. Resolution and the numerical aperture are indirectly proportional so that as the aperture increases the resolution would decrease. We calculate as follows:

<span>Resolution = wavelength / ((2) (numerical aperture))
Resolution = 500 nm / (2 ) ( 1.25) = 200 nm  = 0.2 um</span>

A 1.50-V battery supplies 0.414 W of power to a small flashlight. If the battery moves 4.93 1020 electrons between its terminals
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

P = VI................ Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, I = Current.

make I the subject of the equation

I = P/V................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.414 W, V = 1.50 V

Substitute into equation 2

I = 0.414/1.50

I = 0.276 A

Also,

Q = It............... Equation 3

Where Q = amount of charge, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/I.................. Equation 4

From the question,

4.931020 electrons has a charge of (4.931020×1.6020×10⁻¹⁹) coulombs

Q = 7.899×10⁻¹⁹ C

Substitute these value into equation 4

t =  7.899×10⁻¹⁹/0.276

t = 2.86×10⁻¹⁸ seconds

Fitness can be achieved only through
Iteru [2.4K]
Fitness is more accurately described as habit, so it is achieved only through A. frequency<span>. In order to achieve results in fitness, one must be consistent with exercise and nutrition. Not only is this the means to achieving fitness, this is also the way that fitness is maintained. </span>

Part 4! Anything helps!!! Please and thanks
lisov135 [29]
1) 25 because I did 5*5
2) It would be the third option because a longer wire has a higher resistance and a thinner wire causes electrons to travel at a slower rate

Not sure about the last one, sorry
