Answer

In a surface wave (such as a water wave), particles <u>like water molecule undergoes circular motion.</u>

Explanation:

surface waves are the waves which does not possess transverse or longitudinal nature. In surface waves (water waves) all the particles of the bulk medium(water) does not moves in perpendicular direction or in parallel direction with respect to energy transport direction. In surface wave only surface particles moves in circular motion.

For example when we through a stone in water that time only surface particles moves in circular direction and it creates ripples.

Particles similar to a water wave will travel away from the source. On the Earth's surface this would be shown as an aftershock. On the surface of water, the waves would travel in ripples.

The process of how rocks can tell us how old the earth is
Ludmilka [50]
The Earth is a constantly changing planet. Its crust is continually being created, modified, and destroyed. As a result, rocks that record its earliest history have not been found and probably no longer exist. Nevertheless, there is substantial evidence that the Earth and the other bodies of the Solar System are 4.5-4.6 billion years old, and that the Milky Way Galaxy and the Universe are older still. The principal evidence for the antiquity of Earth and its cosmic surroundings is:The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest rocks are metamorphic rocks but they originated as lava flows and sedimentary rocks. The debris from which the sedimentary rocks formed must have come from even older crustal rocks. The oldest dated minerals (4.0-4.2 billion years) are tiny zircon crystals found in sedimentary rocks in western Australia.
The oldest Moon rocks are from the lunar highlands and were formed when the early lunar crust was partially or entirely molten. These rocks, of which only a few were returned by the Apollo missions, have been dated by two methods at between 4.4-4.5 billion years in age. 
The majority of the 70 well-dated meteorites have ages of 4.4-4.6 billion years. These meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids and represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, have been dated by 5 independent radiometric dating methods. 
The "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years. 
The evidence for the antiquity of the Earth and Solar System is consistent with evidence for an even greater age for the Universe and Milky Way Galaxy. a) The age of the Universe can be estimated from the velocity and distance of galaxies as the universe expands. The estimates range from 7 to 20 billion years, depending on whether the expansion is constant or is slowing due to gravitational attraction. b) The age of the Galaxy is estimated to be 14-18 billion years from the rate of evolution of stars in globular clusters, which are thought to be the oldest stars in the Galaxy. The age of the elements in the Galaxy, based on the production ratios of osmium isotopes in supernovae and the change in that ratio over time due to radioactive decay, is 8.6-15.7 billion years. Theoretical considerations indicate that the Galaxy formed within a billion years of the beginning of the Universe. c) Combining the data from a) and b), the "best, i.e., most consistent, age of the universe is estimated to be around 14 billion years.

A 15-ft3 tank contains oxygen initially at 14.7 psia and 80°F. A paddle wheel within the tank is rotated until the pressure insi
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

         \Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}

        \Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}

Hence,    W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

            \frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}

       T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)

                   = 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

             m = \frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}

                 = \frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}

                 = 1.031 lbm

Hence,

        W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

            W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

    W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R

            W_{in} = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?
34kurt
<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>
