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

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.

Find the gravitational force that Earth (mass = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg) exerts on the moon (mass = 7.35 × 10²² kg) when the distance bet
alexandr402 [8]

Explanation:

mass of earth (m1)=5.97×10^24

mass of moon (m2)=7.35×10^22

distance between their center (d)= 3.84×10^8

G=6.67×10^-11

now,

gravitational force =(F)= G(m1×m2)/d²

  • 6.67×10^-11(5.97×10^24×7.35×10^22)/(3.84×10^8)
  • 19.84×10^19

The string constrains the rotational and translational motion of the falling cylinder, given that it doesn't slip. what is the r
Sindrei [870]
<span>Answer: First we need to find the acceleration. torque on cylinder τ = T * r where T is the string tension; T = m(g - a) where a is the acceleration of the cylinder. Then τ = m(g - a)r But also τ = Iα. For a solid cylinder, I = ½mr², and if the string doesn't slip, then α = a / r, so τ = ½mr² * a/r = ½mra. Since τ = τ, we have m(g - a)r = ½mra → m, r cancel, leaving g - a = ½a g = 3a/2 a = 2g/3 where g, of course, is gravitational acceleration. We know that v(t) = a*t, so for our cylinder v(t) = 2gt / 3 ◄ linear velocity and ω = v(t) / r = 2gt / 3r ◄ angular velocity</span>

Which describes the type of image formed by a plane mirror?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

It is a copy of an object and appears to be coming from behind the mirror.

Explanation:

  1. The plane mirror has a flat surface, where of its surface is polished to reflect the light.
  2. The plane mirror shows the image as the same size of the object.
  3. The image produced by the plane mirror is virtual and erect.
  4. But the orientation of the image formed changes the left and right.
  5. Hence,the image appears to be coming from behind the mirror.

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 30 mph. at the same tim
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem

BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)

r = sqrt(y² + x²)                                eq-1

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)

15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)

v₂ = 51.2 m/s
