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.

A suspended object A is attracted to a neutral wall. It's also attracted to a positively-charged object B. Which of the followin
olga2289 [7]

There are two particular cases, the first is when Object A is attracted to the neutral wall. This would indicate that the object is not neutral, as there is an attraction.

At the same time we know that Object A is attracted to an object B. And therefore, the load of A must be opposite to that of B. Remember that opposite charges attract each other. If the charge of object B is positive, then the charge of object A will be negative.

Option B is correct: It has a negative charge.

finlep [7]

Answer:

The man's total displacement is equal to 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

A man ran a 5 mile race. The race looped around a city park and back  to the starting line.

We need to find the total displacement of the man.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

Also,

Displacement = final position - initial position

As it reaches back to its starting line, it means, the displacement is equal to 0.

Hence, the man's total displacement is equal to 0.
