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 jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

91.84 m/s²

Explanation:

velocity, v = 600 m/s

acceleration, a = 4 g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 m/s^2

Let the radius of the loop is r.

he experiences a centripetal force.

centripetal acceleration,

a = v² / r

39.2 x r = 600 x 600

r = 3600 / 39.2

r = 91.84 m/s²

Thus, the radius of the loop is 91.84 m/s².

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

By conservation of energy, it can climb up to a height equal to that it went down before. However, due to the friction in the machines, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster will decrease. As a result, the first "hill" of many roller coasters are the highest, but the followings will have decreasing heights.
