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.

An electron is moving in the presence of an electric field of 400 N/C. What force does the electron experience?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Electric Field strength E=400\ N/C

charge of electron q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Force on the charge particle is given by

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 400

F=640\times 10^{-19}\ N

but this force will be acting in the direction opposite to the direction of Electric field because electron is negatively charged

Star a has a parallax angle of 0.02 arcseconds, and star b has a parallax of angle of 0.1 arcseconds. which star is more distant
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>Star a is more distant and is approximately 5 times as far away as star b Parallax is the change in angle that one must do in order to observe the same object from different locations. The further away an object is, the smaller the parallax is. As the angles approach zero, the trig functions tend to be fairly linear. And 0.1 arc seconds and 0.02 arc seconds are close enough to zero for this to hold true. Since the parallax for star a is smaller than the parallax for star b, it is the more distant star. And since 0.1 divided by 0.02 = 5, it is approximately 5 times further away than star b.</span>

Two technicians are discussing electromagnetic induction. Technician A says that the induced voltage can be increased if the spe
Inga [223]

Answer:Both

Explanation:

There are three ways to increase the induced voltage in electromagnetic induction:

1) increase the speed at which the conductor moves through the magnetic field. This means that the lines of flux are cut more quickly and more emf is induced.

2) use stronger magnets which provides a stronger magnetic field and more densely packed lines of flux.

3) use a coil of multiple loops.

Hence both technicians were correct.
