The vibrations along a transverse wave move in a direction _________.

Physics
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
5 0

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

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?
AnnyKZ [126]

To answer this question, it helps enormously if you know
the formula for momentum:

           Momentum = (mass) x (speed) .

Looking at the formula, you can see that momentum is directly
proportional to speed.  So if speed doubles, so does momentum.

If the car's momentum is 20,000 kg-m/s now, then after its speed
doubles, its momentum has also doubled, to 40,000 kg-m/s.

An aurora occurs when ____
ASHA 777 [7]

The short answer to how the aurora happens is that energetic electrically charged particles (mostly electrons) accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light.
