<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.

Classify the properties as extensive or intensive: mass density; color volume; total energy; temperature; melting point

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Intensive properties

Density

Color

temperature

Melting point

Extensive properties

Mass

Volume

Total Energy

Explanation:

Intensive properties: In Physics, Intensive properties which are not depend of the amount of matter in a sample, It only depends of the type of matter, some examples of intensive properties are:

1. Density: It is a intensive property. It can explain better with a example: the water density is 1000 kg/m3, So if we have 1 liter or 1000 liters of water the density will be the same for the two samples.

2. Color: Solid sodium chloride is white. If you have 2 samples the first recipient with 2 kilograms of NaCl and the second with 10 kilograms of NaCl. The color of the substance does not depend on the amount of the substance.

As was mentioned before the same theory is applied to temperature and melting point concepts.

On the other hand,

Extensive properties are properties of the matter which depend on the amount of matter that is present in the system or sample. some examples are:

1. Mass: It is a property that measures the amount of matter that an object contains. For example, 10 kilograms of solid Copper contains a higher mass than 2 kilograms of the same metal.

2. Volume: It is a property which measures the space occupied by an object or a substance. For example, the space occupied by a glass of milk is lower than the space occupied by a bottle of milk, Then the volume of the glass of milk is lower than the volume of the bottle of milk.

3. Finally the total energy is contained in molecules and atoms that constituted systems so, if the amount of matter increases the number of molecules too, then the total energy will increase.

I hope it helps you.

A small box of mass m1 is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L. The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is $\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}$

Explanation:

The Newton’s second law states that the net force on an object is the product of mass of the object and final acceleration of the object. The expression of newton’s second law is,

$\sum {F = ma}$

Here, is the sum of all the forces on the object, mm is mass of the object, and aa is the acceleration of the object.

The expression for static friction over a horizontal surface is,

$F_{\rm{f}}} \leq {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg$

Here, ${\mu _{\rm{s}}}$ is the coefficient of static friction, mm is mass of the object, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

Use the expression of static friction and solve for maximum static friction for box of mass ${m_1}$

Substitute for in the expression of maximum static friction ${F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}mg$

${F_{\rm{f}}} = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g$

Use the Newton’s second law for small box and solve for minimum acceleration aa to pull the box out.

Substitute for , [/tex]{m_1}[/tex] for in the equation .

${F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a$

Substitute ${\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g$ for ${F_{\rm{f}}}$ in the equation ${F_{\rm{f}}} = {m_1}a$

${\mu _{\rm{s}}}{m_1}g = {m_1}a$

Rearrange for a.

$a = {\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

The minimum acceleration of the system of two masses at which box starts sliding can be calculated by equating the pseudo force on the mass with the maximum static friction force.

The pseudo force acts on in the direction opposite to the motion of the board and the static friction force on this mass acts in the direction opposite to the pseudo force. If these two forces are cancelled each other (balanced), then the box starts sliding.

Use the Newton’s second law for the system of box and the board.

Substitute for for in the equation .

${F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right)a$

Substitute for in the above equation .

${F_{\min }} = \left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

The constant force with least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the box is $\left( {{m_1} + {m_2}} \right){\mu _{\rm{s}}}g$

There is no friction between the board and the surface. So, the force required to accelerate the system with the minimum acceleration to slide the box over the board is equal to total mass of the board and box multiplied by the acceleration of the system.

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in

Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.

malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

$F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}$

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get $F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}$

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.
