Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm, has a hole drilled in the center of the bar. The hole is 40mm in diameter and 10

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.228 x $10^{-6}$ mm

Explanation:

diameter of aluminium bar D = 40 mm

diameter of hole d = 30 mm

compressive Load F = 180 kN = 180 x $10^{3}$ N

modulus of elasticity E = 85 GN/m^2 = 85 x $10^{9}$ Pa

length of bar L = 600 mm

length of hole = 100 mm

true length of bar = 600 - 100 = 500 mm

area of the bar A = $\frac{\pi D^{2} }{4}$ = $\frac{3.142* 40^{2} }{4}$ = 1256.8 mm^2

area of hole a = $\frac{\pi(D^{2} - d^{2}) }{4}$ = $\frac{3.142*(40^{2} - 30^{2})}{4}$ = 549.85 mm^2

Total contraction of the bar = $\frac{F*L}{AE} + \frac{Fl}{aE}$

total contraction = $\frac{F}{E} * (\frac{L}{A} +\frac{l}{a})$

==> $\frac{180*10^{3}}{85*10^{9}} *( \frac{500}{1256.8} + \frac{100}{549.85})$ = 1.228 x $10^{-6}$ mm

A 0.877 mol sample of N2(g) initially at 298 K and 1.00 atm is held at constant volume while enough heat is applied to raise the

MissTica

Answer : The value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of sample = 0.877 mol

Change in temperature = 15.7 K

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.

Formula used :

$q=n\times c_v\times \Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed by the system = ?

n = moles of sample = 0.877 mol

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 15.7 K

$c_v$ = heat capacity at constant volume of $N_2$ (diatomic molecule) = $\frac{5}{2}R$

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$q=0.877mol\times \frac{5}{2}\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 15.7K$

$q=286.2J$

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

$\Delta U=q+w$

As we know that, work done is zero at constant volume. So,

$\Delta U=q=286.2J$

Therefore, the value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Describe how the coriolis effect acts differently based on location on earth

sammy [17]

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect happens when an entity is perceived from a moving reference frame going in a straight path. The changing reference frame makes the object appear as if it were moving along a curved road.

Circulation is counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Circulation is clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and it is the equator, it is straight down without circulation.

Whats the difference between identical and fraternal twins

IrinaK [193]

Twin type has less to do with what twins look like and more to do with how they formed.
Identical, or monozygotic, twins form when a single fertilized egg splits and develop as two babies in the uterus. Identical twins originate from the same combination of cells and have the same genetic origin. They are ALWAYS the same sex, two girls/two boys. They may look very similar and it may be difficult to tell them apart.
Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are two individuals from the same pregnancy who from TWO SEPARATE eggs fertilized by TWO SEPARATE SPERM. The genetic similarity between fraternal twins is the same as any two siblings, about 50 percent. They can be boys, girls, or one of each.
