Answer:

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

Explanation:

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 :)

What happens to the direction of an object as an unbalanced force acts on it? Give an example

Pie

Answer:

When an unbalanced force acts on a body the side with the greater force's dircetion makes the object move along its direction

Also to find the net force acting on the bofldy you can subtract the two force acting on the body

In case of balanced force the net force will always be 0

Marrrta [24]

Area of a circle is
A= pi r^2
so
500m^2 = 3.14 r2
500/pi = r ^2
152.1549...=r^2
square root both sides
r=12.61566...

A Boeing 777 aircraft has a mass of 300,000 kg. At a certain instant during its landing, its speed is 27.0 m/s. If the braking f

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of Boeing 777 aircraft = 300,000 kg

Braking force = 445,000 N

Deceleration

$a=\frac{445000}{300000}=1.48m/s^2$

Initial velocity, u = 27 m/s

Time , t = 10 s

We have equation of motion, v =u +at

v = 27 + (-1.48) x 10 = 27 - 14.8 = 12.2 m/s

Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s
