Answer:

Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.

The cockroach Periplaneta americana can detect a static electric field of magnitude 8.50 kN/C using their long antennae. If the
erica [24]

Answer:

0.235 nC

Explanation:

Given:

  • E = the magnitude of electric field = 8.50\ kN/C =8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C
  • F = the magnitude of electric force on each antenna = 2.00\ \mu N =2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N
  • q = The magnitude of charge on each antenna

Since the electric field is the electric force applied on a charged body of unit charge.

\therefore E = \dfrac{F}{q}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{F}{E}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N}{8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C}\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\times 10^{-9}\ C\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\ nC

Hence, the value of q is 0.235 nC.

Anettt [7]

Answer: 0.9m/s

Explanation:

Use equation for speed:

V=S/t

S-distance; S=45m

t-time; t=50 s

V=S/t

V=45m/50s

V=0.9 m/s
