<span>So we wan't to know how the molecules of the medium vibrate when a transverse wave propagates trough that medium. A transverse wave is a wave whos oscilations are perpendicular to the direction of it's propagation. So the molecules in a medium will vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. So if the wave is moving in the x-direction, the molecules will vibrate in the y-z plane. The correct answer is A. at right angles to the direction in which the wave propagates. </span>

<span>C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy
in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material
is the smallest.

The coefficient of absorption is the percentage of incident sound
that's absorbed.  So the highest coefficient of absorption results in
the smallest </span><span>percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains.
That's what you want. </span>

At this rate, how long would it take for two continents 3500 kilometers apart to collide?
meriva

<span>Given:

3,500 kilometers

Find:</span>

 

Years for two continents to collide = ?

 

<span>Solution:

We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another are 1 centimeter per year.

So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>

</span>

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1 km = 100,000 cm

3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm

Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means 350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.

 

Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.

<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.

If the work done is 360 J, and the force used to do the work is applied over a distance of 12 m, what is the value of the force
hoa [83]
The formula for work is W=Fdcos\theta. Plugging in the numbers, you get: 
360=F(12)cos(0)
F= \frac{360}{12}
The answer is 30 N.
