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 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

A man holding a rock sits on a sled that is sliding across a frozen lake (negligible friction) with a speed of 0.480 m/s. The to
SpyIntel [72]
This is a problem of conservation of momentum

Momentum before throwing the rock: m*V = 96.0 kg * 0.480 m/s = 46.08 N*s

A) man throws the rock forward

=>

rock:
m1 = 0.310 kg
V1 = 14.5 m/s, in the same direction of the sled with the man

sled and man:
m2 = 96 kg - 0.310 kg = 95.69 kg
v2 = ?

Conservation of momentum:
momentum before throw = momentum after throw

46.08N*s = 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

=> v2 = [46.08 N*s - 0.310*14.5N*s ] / 95.69 kg = 0.434 m/s

B) man throws the rock backward

this changes the sign of the velocity, v2 = -14.5 m/s

 46.08N*s = - 0.310kg*14.5m/s + 95.69kg*v2

v2 = [46.08 N*s + 0.310*14.5 N*s] / 95.69 k = 0.529 m/s
