Answer:

Transverse waves

Explanation:

Transverse waves are a type of wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of movement (the direction of propagation). These type of waves are usually represented by the sine or cosine functions due to the up and down oscillation of the waves.

In the case of water waves the thing that oscillates up and down are the <u>water particles</u> affected by the disturbance.

And for the case light waves what oscillates are the <u>electric and magnetic fields</u>, both oscillating perpendicular to the direction of light propagation.

A 0.537-kg basketball is dropped out of a window that is 5.88 m above the ground. The ball is caught by a person whose hands are

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) 20.54 J

b) 30.97 J

c) 10.43 J

d) -20.54 J

Explanation:

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88-1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times 3.9\\\Rightarrow W=20.54\ J$

Work done by the ball's weight is 20.54 J

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88)\\\Rightarrow W=30.97\ J$

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 30.97 J

$W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=10.43\ J$

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 10.43 J

Change in gravitational potential energy

$\Delta U=10.43-30.97=-20.54\ J$

Change in gravitational potential energy is given by -20.54 J

Neeeee rnnnn ASAP offering 55 points CER: Brielle pushes a shopping cart through the store with an acceleration of 2

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Decease the mass

Increase the force applied

Explanation:

To increase the acceleration of the shopping cart, Brielle should reduce the load inside her cart.

According to Newton's second law of motion;

Force = mass x acceleration

Now, mass is indirectly proportional to the acceleration. The more the mass, the lower the acceleration a body will generate.

Lighter bodies moves with a faster acceleration.

In this case the force applied is constant.

If the force applied is also, increased the acceleration of the body will increase also.
