In a transverse wave that travels through a medium, the molecules of the medium vibrate

Physics

LenaWriter [7]4 years ago

<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>

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Acceleration is percieved, not constant velocity.

Explanation:

You are most aware when the vehicle is accelerating. At constant velocity you would not be aware of the motion. Only if the system is accelerated the dynamics must be solved considering a pseudo-force (of inertial origin) acting.

It's because of this that:

(A) False. The acceleration can be detected from the inside of a closed car.

(B) False. You would be aware of the motion, but not because humans can sense speed but acceleration.

(C) False. Constant velocity cannot be felt in a closed car.

(D) False. Again, you can't feel constant speed.

Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

Which of the following statements is true for a cell placed in beaker containing an isotonic solution?
Korvikt [17]
An isotonic solution is <span>a solution in which concentration or solute is equal to that of a cell placed in it. Thus, the system is in dynamic equilibrium, and so water molecules flow in both directions.
The correct answer is <u>C. w</u></span><span><u>ater molecules flow in both directions at the same rate.</u></span>
