It can be explained as follows: consider the field produced by a positive charge. If we place a positive test charge in this a field, then this charge would move away from the central charge (because like charges repel), while if we place a negative test charge in this field, this charge would move towards the central charge (because opposite charges repel)
Explanation:
Electric fields are vector fields, and they are represented using field lines.
The field lines give indications on both the magnitude and the direction of the electric field. In fact:
- The magnitude of the field can be inferred from the spacing between the lines: the closer the lines are, the stronger the field, while for a weaker field the lines are more spread apart
- The direction of the field is given by the direction of the field lines
In particular, by convention the direction of the field lines represent the direction of the force that a positive test charge would feel when immersed in that field: this means that a positive test charge would accelerate in the direction of the field lines, while a negative test charge would accelerate in the direction opposite to the field lines.
This is in agreement with the fact that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. In fact, the lines of the electric field produced by a single-point positive charge point away from the positive charge: if we place a positive test charge in this field, then this charge would move away from the central charge (because like charges repel), while if we place a negative test charge in this field, this charge would move towards the central charge (because opposite charges repel).

I'd say A. because an inference is a guess/estimate. You can assume that the egg rolled off the kitchen but you know that C and D are true.
They are right the answer is A true
<h2>
Answer:D</h2>
Explanation:
Option A:
Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.
Option B:
Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.
Option C:
Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.
Option D:
Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.
In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.
1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find
, the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
Rearranging the formula, we can find
, the velocity of the nail before the collision:
