Answer:

<em>The student 1 pushes to the left, the student 2 pushed to the right</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Work</u>

The work done by a force F on an object moving a distance X and making an angle \theta with the force is given by

W=F.X.cos\theta

If the force and the distance point in the same direction, the angle is 0 and the work is positive.

If the force and the distance point in opposite directions, the angle is 180° and the work is negative.

We know the glider moves to the left and the student 1 always does positive work, thus he must be pushing the block to the left to have the same direction.

The same can be applied to the second student who does a negative work when the block goes to the left, so he must be pushing to the right direction.

Summary: The student 1 pushes to the left, the student 2 pushed to the right

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
