The correct answer to the question is that the direction of the vibration of water molecule is perpendicular to the direction of ripple direction. i.e the water molecules will move up and down.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the nature of transverse wave.

A transverse wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.

As per the question, the ripples are created in a pond and they are moving from left to right.The wave ripples produced in a pond is transverse in nature.

When any body is thrown into the pond, the water particle at the point of disturbance will start vibrating about its mean position, and the process is repeated . The vibrated particles will move up and down about the equilibrium point. But the energy or wave will be transported from particle to particle. Hence, the vibration of particles is normal to wave propagation.

Hence, the water molecules will move up and down when the wave ripples are produced in a pond.

My inference is that the water molecules are moving up and down. I don't know for sure but i'm usually correct.

Jet aircraft maintenance crews are required to wear protective earplugs. Members of a particular crew wear earplugs that reduce

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

Explanation:

Given data

Sound intensity by factor =215

Sound intensity level =87 dB

To find

Sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs

Solution

First we need to find the new sound intensity level

So

$I_{n}=215(10^{\frac{87}{10} } )\\I_{n}=1.08*10^{11})$

The dB can be calculated as:

$dB=10log(I_{n})\\$

Substitute the given values

$dB=10log(1.08*10^{11})\\dB=110.32dB$

So the sound intensity level they would experience without the earplugs is 110.32dB.

A large plate carries a uniform charge density σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2. a pattern showing equipotential surfaces with a 5 v potent

vfiekz [6]

The potential difference comes out to be

$10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

Given:

σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2

we know,

$E = \frac{σ}{2ε0}$

$E = \frac{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }{2ε0}$

$E = \frac{v}{d}$

given the potential difference between two equipotential surface=5v

E=∆v

∆d=∆v/E

$= \frac{5 \times 8.85 \times 10 { }^{ - 12} \times 2 }{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }$

$Δ = 10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

Thus the potential difference is

$10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m$

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.5 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance, s=100 m

Initial speed, u=1.4 m/s

Acceleration, $a=0.20 m/s^2$

We have to find the final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$v^2-(1.4)^2=2\times 0.20\times 100$

$v^2-1.96=40$

$v^2=40+1.96$

$v^2=41.96$

$v=\sqrt{41.96}$

$v=6.5 m/s$

Hence, her final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m=6.5 m/s
