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.

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.

Explanation:

Examples of transverse waves include:

ripples on the surface of water.

vibrations in a guitar string.

a Mexican wave in a sports stadium.

electromagnetic waves – eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves.

seismic S-waves.

Fast, irregular, and low-amplitude electrical activity corresponds to
irakobra [83]

The most common states of awareness include conscious and unconscious. Wakefulness refers to a state of consciousness that is characterized by high levels of awareness and thought.

  • Fast, irregular, and low-amplitude electrical activity correspond to WAKEFULNESS.

  • An electroencephalogram is a diagnostic test that can be used to measure the brain's electrical activity during wakefulness and sleep.

  • Wakefulness is characterized by low-voltage (i.e., 5 to 10 microvolts) and high-frequency brain waves. These waves are known as beta and gamma waves.

  • Conversely, sleep is characterized by higher voltage and slow brain waves (i.e., synchronized pattern).

There is a 12 v potential difference between the positive and negative ends of the jumper cables, which are a short distance apa
steposvetlana [31]
The electric potential energy of the electron depends on the potential difference applied between the two ends of the cable. Indeed, the electric potential energy of a charge is given by
U=q \Delta V
where q is the magnitude of the charge, while \Delta V is the potential difference applied. So, U depends on \Delta V.

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
