<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

A surface wave is a wave that moves along the interface of two different materials, like air and water.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

A surface wave (from its name) travels on a surface that is found between two different materials.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is either in the form of ellipse (elliptical motion) or circle (circular motion.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is considered to be a combination of both transversal motion and longitudinal motion.

Hope this helps :)

7. What is the acceleration of a 1,300 kg truck with a net force of 5,000 newtons (N)?
Crank

Answer: 1200 kg

Explanation: Taking into account the Newton's second law, the mass of the vehicle is 1200 kg.

In first place, acceleration in a body occurs when a force acts on a body. There are two factors that influence the acceleration of an object: the net force acting on it and the mass of the body.

Newton's second law states that this force will change the speed of an object because the speed and / or direction will change. These changes in velocity are called acceleration.

So, Newton's second law defines the relationship between force and acceleration mathematically. This law says that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the sum of all the forces acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Mathematically, Newton's second law is expressed as:

F= m×a

where:

F = Force [N]

m = Mass [kg]

a = Acceleration [m/s²]

In this case, you know:

F= 1800 N

m= ?

a= 1.5 m/s²

Replacing:

1800 N= m× 1.5 m/s²

Solving:

m= 1800 N÷1.5 m/s²

m= 1200 kg

Finally, the mass of the vehicle is 1200 kg.

Most distances in the Galaxy are measured in light-years instead of meters. Why do you think this is the case?
lbvjy [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Most of the distances in the galaxy are measured in light years instead of meter because the distances in galaxy are very large and it is very difficult to measure in meters and light year is the largest unit of distance so it is very easy to measure large distances in light year so we prefer light year instead of meters for measuring distances in galaxy.

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?
marta [7]
 <span>You can start with the equations you know 

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2 

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km 
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds 
Latitude = 44.4 degrees 

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r. 

r=Rcos(44.4) 
r=6378.1cos(44.4) 
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m 

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above... 

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9 
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>
