Answer:

The nature of the wave formed is a transverse  progressive wave.

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that travels through a material medium without permanent displacement of the particles of the medium. The two major types are: transverse and longitudinal.

A transverse wave is one in which the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are: water wave, light wave etc. While a longitudinal wave is one in which the direction of vibrations of the particles of the medium is parallel with the direction of propagation of the wave, creating a region of rarefaction and compression. Examples are; sound wave, wave in a rope, wave in a slinky etc.

The cited wave formed in the given question is a transverse wave because each person stands and sits after some time to create a moving (progressive) wave without them moving from their positions.

A 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

A solid disk of radius 5.50 cm and mass 1.25 kg , which is rolling at a speed of 1.50 m/s , begins rolling without slipping up a
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Deceleration of solid disk = g sin10/1 + k²/r² = g sin 10 / 1 + 1/2 = g sin 10 x 2/3

[ k is radius of gyration of disk which is equal to( 1/√2)x r ]

deceleration a = -1.1345 m/s²

v = u - at , t = u / a = 1.5 / 1.1345 = 1.322 s.

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?
pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.


If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.


If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.


If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.
