<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.

A -0.00325 C charge q1 is placed 5.62 m from a second charge q2. The first charge is repelled with a 48900 N force. What is the
blagie [28]

Answer: q2 = -0.05286

Explanation:

Given that

Charge q1 = - 0.00325C

Electric force F = 48900N

The electric field strength experienced by the charge will be force per unit charge. That is

E = F/q

Substitute F and q into the formula

E = 48900/0.00325

E = 15046153.85 N/C

The value of the repelled second charge will be achieved by using the formula

E = kq/d^2

Where the value of constant

k = 8.99×10^9Nm^2/C^2

d = 5.62m

Substitutes E, d and k into the formula

15046153.85 = 8.99×10^9q/5.62^2

15046153.85 = 284634186.5q

Make q the subject of formula

q2 = 15046153.85/ 28463416.5

q2 = 0.05286

Since they repelled each other, q2 will be negative. Therefore,

q2 = -0.05286

Answer:

current going into a junction in a circuit is EQUAL TO the current comming out of the junction.

Explanation:

Krichhoff's Current Law

Kirchhoff's current law (1st Law) states that current flowing into a node (or a junction) must be equal to current flowing out of it.

A block and tackle is used to lift an automobile engine that weighs 1800 N. The person exerts a force of 300 N to lift the engin
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.

A student environmental group is creating a campaign for locally sourced energy resources.What would be best for them to feature
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

Explanation:

The closest to a locally sources energy would have been

A coal mine located in their county.

But coal as an energy source is not environmentally friendly due to carbon emission, and should not be what the group should advocate for.

<em>The best bet for them is </em>

<em>A farmer with a field of solar panels.</em>

As solar panels are a source of green energy and green energy is what the environmental group should often and always advocate for

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
