The particle motion in surface waves is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

Further Explanation:

According to the vibration of the particle, the waves are classified into two categories:

Transverse Waves

Longitudinal waves

Transverse Waves:

The transverse waves are the waves in which the motion of the wave particle is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the waves.

Example: The electromagnetic waves, vibrations produced in a guitar string etc.

Longitudinal waves:

The longitudinal waves are the waves in which the motion of the wave particle is along the direction of propagation of the wave.

Example: Sound waves, seismic waves etc.

The waves produces on the surface are considered to be the combination of the transverse as well as the longitudinal waves because during its motion on the surface, the wave particles vibrate perpendicular to the surface as well as along the direction of propagation of the wave.

Thus, the particle motion in surface waves is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

<h3>Answer;</h3>

B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
Transverse waves on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
In surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion. Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.

A positive charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface. How much work is performed or required in mov

Nitella [24]

Answer:

No work is performed or required in moving the positive charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

Lets take

Q= Positive charge which move from point A to point B along

Voltage difference,ΔV =V₁ - V₂

The work done

W = Q . ΔV

Given that charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface.It means that voltage difference is zero.

ΔV = 0

W = Q . ΔV

W = Q x 0

W= 0 J

So work is zero.

What requirement must a force acting on a object satisfy in order for the object to undergo simple harmonic motion?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Simple harmonic motion is the movement of a body or an object to and from an equilibrium position. In a simple harmonic motion, the maximum displacement (also called the amplitude) on one side of the equilibrium position is equal to the maximum displacement.

The force acting on an object must satisfy Hooke's law for the object to undergo simple harmonic motion. The law states that the force must be directed always towards the equilibrium position and also directly proportional to the distance from this position.

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is ________.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. transparent.

Explanation:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is transparent.

A transparent material allows light to pass through them with little or no resistance enabling them see-through. A material that transmits nearly all the light rays that pass through it because it offers little resistance to the light is TRANSPARENT. Examples of transparent materials are water, glass (flint and crown), air, and diamond.

A boat of mass 250 kg is coasting, with its engine in neutral, through the water at speed 1.00 m/s when it starts to rain with i

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. We use the conservation of momentum for before the raining and after. And also we take into account that in 0.5h the accumulated water is

100kg/h*0.5h = 50kg

$p_{b}=p_{a}\\M_{b}v_{b}=(M_{b}+m_{r})v_{a}\\v_{a}=\frac{M_{b}v_{b}}{M_{b}+m_{r}}=\frac{250kg*1\frac{m}{s}}{250kg+50kg}=0.83\frac{m}{s}$

2. the momentum does not conserve because the drag force of water makes that the boat loses velocity

3. If we assume that the force of the boat before the raining is

$F=ma=m\frac{v-v_{0}}{t-t_{0}}=250kg\frac{1m}{s^{2}}=250N$

where we have assumed that the acceleration of the boat is 1m/s{2} just before the rain starts

And if we take the net force as

$F_{net}=M_{b}a_{net}=F-F_{d}=250N-bv^{2}\\F_{net}=250N-0.5N\frac{s^{2}}{m^{2}}(1\frac{m}{s})^{2}=249.5N\\a_{net}=\frac{249.5N}{M_{b}}=\frac{249.5N}{250kg}=0.99\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

where we take v=1m/s because we are taking into account tha velocity just after the rain stars.

I hope this is useful for you
