<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.

“Transverse waves travel through a medium of the wave's motion” is true about transverse waves.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

A transverse wave is nothing but a wave, which moves vertical to its direction of propagation. Most waves are transverse, and have a crest and trough. Surface waves are not longitudinal, but they are not transverse too. Sound waves are longitudinal, because they move in same direction of propagation.

Only transverse waves travel through a medium of the wave's motion. The propagation of a transverse wave is quite peculiar. The wave, while moving, sets the particles of medium, into the perpendicular direction, and hence, the motion takes place.

How much work does gravity do on the compressor during this displacement?
gayaneshka [121]

Explanation and Examples

let the mass of the compressor be

mass (m):

height in x axis is (h1)

height in y axis be (h2):

Height difference: h2-h1

displacement x force:

mass x gravity x height

(m)*9.8*(height difference) = ___ J

Since gravity is forcing down, it would be negative!

Put the values that you require and get the answer.

How does Newton's third law of motion describe forces?
svetlana [45]
I would say your answer is B, since Newton's 3rd law is, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
It's talking about pairs of actions. Sorry if I'm wrong.

g A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. The planet has the same mass as Earth but has
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

M is mass of planet , R is radius of orbit of meteoroid from the Centre of the planet .

R = (.9 x 6370 + 600 )x 10³ m

= 6333 x 10³ m

M , mass of the planet = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg .

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

=  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg  / (6333 x 10³ m)²

9.92m/s²

Which of the following represents a fully plastic collision? 1. Two billiard balls hit each other then move in opposite directio
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

Perfectly elastic collision: the collision in which the momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. There is no loss of energy in other forms of energy.

Perfectly plastic collision: The collision in which the momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. The two bodies stick after the collision.

Here, the bullet hits the block and then embedded in the block, it is the example of plastic collision.
