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 :)

here we will use the torque balance about the knee joint

here we can say that

$\tau_g = \tau_m$

here torque due to weight is given as

$\tau_g = 40.1 cos\theta*(l_1 + l_2)$

$\tau_g = 40.1 cos27.5*(0.105 + 0.150)$

$\tau_g = 9.07 Nm$

now torque due to applied force of muscle

$\tau_m = M*sin\alpha * l_1$

$\tau_m = M*sin30* 0.105$

now by torque balance we will have

$9.07 = M*0.5*0.105$

$M = 173 N$

so here the magnitude of m will be 173 N

Describe what happens at the molecular level when a substance boils

mote1985 [20]

When a substance boils the molecules within the substance move faster and farther apart, meaning (depending on the current matter state of the substance) molecules will go into more liquid and gaseous states
solid----> liquid ----> gas
In the case of something boiling the substance goes from liquid to gas due to the increased molecular activity because to heat...

Stars are called blackbody radiators because they

scoundrel [369]

The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.

A common method to measure thermal conductivity of a biomaterial is to insert a long metallic probe axially into the center of a

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is approximately 1.571 watts per meter-Celsius.

Explanation:

Let suppose that thermal conduction is uniform and one-dimensional, the conduction heat transfer ( $\dot Q$ ), measured in watts, in the hollow cylinder is:

$\dot Q = \frac{2\cdot k\cdot L}{\ln \left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)}\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})$

Where:

$k$ - Thermal conductivity, measured in watts per meter-Celsius.

$L$ - Length of the cylinder, measured in meters.

$D_{i}$ - Inner diameter, measured in meters.

$D_{o}$ - Outer diameter, measured in meters.

$T_{i}$ - Temperature at inner surface, measured in Celsius.

$T_{o}$ - Temperature at outer surface, measured in Celsius.

Now we clear the thermal conductivity in the equation:

$k = \frac{\dot Q}{2\cdot L\cdot (T_{i}-T_{o})}\cdot \ln\left(\frac{D_{o}}{D_{i}} \right)$

If we know that $\dot Q = 40.8\,W$ , $L = 0.6\,m$ , $T_{i} = 50\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{o} = 20\,^{\circ}C$ , $D_{i} = 0.01\,m$ and $D_{o} = 0.04\,m$ , the thermal conductivity of the biomaterial is:
