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.

Starting at 48th Street, Dylan rides his bike due east on Meridian Road with the wind at his back. He rides for 20 min at 15 mph
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

55 min

Explanation:

The missing question is: how long does the trip take?

First of all, we need to find the initial distance covered by Dylan. In the first part, he rides for

t_1 = 20 min = \frac{1}{3}h

at a speed of

v = 15 mph

therefore, the distance he covered is

d = v t_1 = (15)(\frac{1}{3})=5 mi

Then Dylan stopped for a time of

t_2 = 5 min = \frac{5}{60}=\frac{1}{12}h

Finally, on the way back, Dylan covered again this distance but travelling at a new speed of

v = 10 mph

So, the time he took is

t_3 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}h = 30 min

So, the total time of the trip was

t=t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = 20 min + 5 min + 30 min = 55 min

The speed of a 180-g toy car at the bottom of a vertical circular portion of track is 7.75 m/s. If the radius of curvature of th
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

11.28 N toward the center of the track

Explanation:

Centripetal force: This is the force that tend to draw a body close to the center of a circle, during circular motion.

The formula for centripetal force is given as,

F = mv²/r................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass of the toy car, v = velocity, r = radius

Given: m = 108 g = 0.108 kg, v = 7.75 m/s, r = 57.5 cm = 0.575 m

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.108(7.75²)/0.575

F = 11.28 N

Hence the magnitude and direction of the force = 11.28 N toward the center of the track

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(a) 11.8692‬ ohm

(b) 12.447 A

(c) 17.6 A

Explanation:

a)  inductive reactance Z = L Ω

    = L x 2π x F

    = 45.0 x 10⁻³ x 2(3.14) x 42

    = 11.8692‬ ohm

b) rms current

    = 100 / 8.034

    = 12.447 A

c) maximum current in the circuit

    = I eff x rac2

    = 12.447 x 1.414

    = 17.6 A

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming p
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Remain unchanged

Explanation:

The boat with water barrel overboard floats in swimming pool when weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the buoyant force acting on the boat.

When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the level of the swimming pool level would remain unchanged as the weight of the boat  with the water and barrel would remain unchanged ( as the density and volume of the whole system remains same) and hence, the weight of the water (of the swimming pool) displaced by the boat would remain same.

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming pool level will <u>remain unchanged. </u>
