1. Do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? Explain

your answer.
2. By inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases?

3. Are there forces of friction acting while a wave is passing through a medium?

1. Both

Assuming we are talking about a longitudinal wave (where particles oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), the answer is 'both'. In fact, waves consist of oscillations of the particles of a medium: in the case of the longitudinal waves, the particles oscillate back and forth, back and forth, continuosuly. This means that at some time they are moving forward, while at some time they are moving backward, with respect to the direction of the wave.


2. The amplitude

The energy of a wave is related to its amplitude. More specifically, the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude:

E\propto A^2

therefore, if the spring has a larger amplitude of oscillation, it also has more energy.


3. Yes

Forces of friction act while a mechanical wave passes through a medium. As a result, particles during the oscillations lose part of their energy: this means that the amplitude of the oscillations of the wave decrease over time, because the wave loses some energy. Eventually, if the friction lasts enough, the wave can lose all its energy.

Which of the following is an example of the correlation of productivity and a positive attitude ?
Alexus [3.1K]

Group of answer choices.

A. James likes ch.atting with his coworkers but is easily distracted.

B. James does some of his coworkers' work because he wants to be popular.

C. James accepts additional tasks at work as a way to show he can handle greater responsibility.

D. James turns down additional tasks at work because he doesn't want more responsibility.

Answer:

C. James accepts additional tasks at work as a way to show he can handle greater responsibility.

Explanation:

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.

Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).

A productive employee is a kind of person that is highly effective and efficient in the performance of his or her duties, especially through the use of their skills, knowledge, competence and expertise (experience). Also, a positive attitude or attribute are ethical and morally right characteristics  (qualities) that a person exhibits.

Typically, there exist a strong relationship between a positive attitude and the level of productivity of an employee.

Hence, an example of the correlation of productivity and a positive attitude would be James accepting additional tasks at work as a way to show he can handle greater responsibility. Thus, he is more focused on challenging himself to handle greater responsibility by accepting additional tasks at his work place.

a) Evaporation occurs at room

temperature only.

  • Reason: Evaporation occurs at each and every temp. because of the molecules of the solution have kinetic energy than the others, and thus they will evaporate leaving them behind.

The mohorovicic discontinuity marks the change in rock density between the core and the mantle. mantle and crust. asthenosphere
lions [1.4K]

The transition zone between the crust and mantle is called as mohorovicic discontinuity.

The mohorovicic discontinuity was discovered by Andrija Mohorovicic in the year of 1909. The Moho lies at the depth of 35km beneath the continents and 8km beneath the oceanic crust. The Moho separates both the continental crust and the oceanic crust from underlying mantle. The Moho lies almost entirely within the lithosphere, only beneath the Mid Oceanic Ridge does it define lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary. Immediate above the Moho velocity of the P wave is 6km/sec and just below the Moho it becomes 8km/sec. Moho is characterised by up to 500km thick.

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity marks the lower limit of Earth's crust. It occurs at an average depth of about 8 kilometers beneath the ocean basins and 32 kilometers beneath continental surfaces. Mohorovicic was able to use his discovery to study thickness variations of the crust.

Mohorovicic discontinuity is the layer which is between the earth's crust and mantle. It's density ranges from 3.3 to 3.7.
