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 block of weight 1200N is on an incline plane of 30° with the horizontal, a force P is applied to the body parallel to the plan
pshichka [43]

Answer:

a)  P = 807.85 N,  b)  P = 392.15 N,  c)  P = 444.12 N

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the x-axis parallel to the plane and the direction rising as positive, and the y-axis perpendicular to the plane.

Let's use trigonometry to break down the weight

         sin θ = Wₓ / W

         cos θ = W_y / W

         Wₓ = W sin θ

         W_y = W cos θ

         Wₓ = 1200 sin 30 = 600 N

          W_y = 1200 cos 30 = 1039.23 N

Y axis  

      N- W_y = 0

      N = W_y = 1039.23 N

Remember that the friction force always opposes the movement

a) in this case, the system will begin to move upwards, which is why friction is static

       P -Wₓ -fr = 0

       P = Wₓ + fr

as the system is moving the friction coefficient is dynamic

      fr = μ N

      fr = 0.20 1039.23

      fr = 207.85 N

we substitute

       P = 600+ 207.85

       P = 807.85 N

b) to avoid downward movement implies that the system is stopped, therefore the friction coefficient is static

        P + fr -Wx = 0

       fr = μ N

       fr = 0.20 1039.23

        fr = 207.85 N

we substitute

        P =  Wₓ -fr

        P = 600 - 207,846

        P = 392.15 N

c) as the movement is continuous, the friction coefficient is dynamic

         P - Wₓ + fr = 0

         P = Wₓ - fr

         fr = 0.15 1039.23

         fr = 155.88 N

         P = 600 - 155.88

         P = 444.12 N

All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. P = nRTV

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except a. P = nRTV b. PV/T = nR c. P/n = RT/v d. R = PV/nT"

Ideal gas equation is an equation that describes the nature of an ideal gas. The molecule of an ideal gas moves at a particular velocity depending on the temperature. This gases collides with one another elastically. The collision that an ideal gas experience is a perfectly elastic collision.

The ideal gas equation is expressed as shown:

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature.

Based on the formula given for an ideal gas, it can be inferred that the equation. P = nRTV is not a statement of an ideal gas equation.

The remaining option will results to an ideal gas equation if they are cross multipled.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is
Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

g'=\frac{g}{6}

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

w = m\times g

m = \frac{w}{g}

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

w' = m\times g'

w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}

w' = \frac{300}{6}

w' = 50

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.
