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.

James Naismith was a physical education teacher

Sprinfield College

Upon the request of his boss, Naismith was tasked to create an indoor sports game to help athletes keep in shape as they endured the cold New England winters. Naismith's boss also stipulated that this new game should be "fair for all players and not too rough."

I just looked it up hope this helps tho.

A student, starting from rest, slides down a water slide. On the way down, a kinetic frictional force (a nonconservative force)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Velocity will be equal to 7.31 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the student m = 61 kg

Height of the water slide h = 12.3 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Potential energy is equal to $U=mgh=61\times 9.8\times 12.3=7352.94J$

Work done due to friction = -5800 J

So energy remained = 7352.94-5800 = 1552.94 J

This energy will be equal to kinetic energy

So $\frac{1}{2}mv^2=1552.94$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 61\times v^2=1552.94$

$v^2=50.91$

v = 7.13 m/sec

crimeas [40]

We are given with 98 Newton weight of an object on the surface of the earth with an acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2. This means the mass of the object is equal to 98/9.8 or 10 kg. Hence the weight of the object 10,000 kilometers above sea level where acceleration is 1.49 m/s2 is 14.9 Newtons.

These spectra are from the same element. Which is an emission spectrum, which an absorption spectrum?

RSB [31]

Answer:

D. Top is emission; bottom absorption.

Explanation:

Emission and spectrum of elements are due to the element absorbing or emitting wavelength of e-m energy. Elementary particles of elements can absorb energy from a ground state to enter an excited state, creating an absorption spectrum, or they can lose energy and fall back to a lower energy state, creating an emission spectrum. A simple rule to differentiate between an emission and an absorption spectrum is that: "all absorbed wavelength is emitted, but not all emitted wavelength is absorbed."

From the image, the lines indicates wavelengths. We can see that all of the wavelengths of the bottom absorption spectrum coincides with some of the wavelength of the upper emission wavelengths.
