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.

An automobile has a mass of 1200 kg. what is its kinetic energy, in kj, relative to the road when traveling at a velocity of 50
snow_lady [41]
One thing you should notice. It is kind of weird. Ke has no direction so that fact that it has velocities associated with it does not matter. It becomes a scaler (something measured by amount alone).

General Formula
Ke = 1/2 m v^2
Formula for this problem
Ke = 1/2 m (v2)^2 - 1/2 m (v1)^2

Givens
m = 1200 kg
v2 = 100 km/hr = 100 km/h * [1 hour / 3600 sec] * [1000 m/ 1km] = 27.8 m/s
v1 = 50 km / hr = 13.9 m/s

Substitution and work.
================
delta Ke = 1/2 1200 (27.8)^2 - 1/2 1200 (13.9)^2
delta Ke = 463704 - 115926
delta Ke = 34778 Joules
delta Ke = 34.8 kJ

The change is 34.8 kJ which means that the vehicle gains 34.8 kJ

What two quantities must stay the same in order for an object to have a constant velocity?
pentagon [3]
<span>Velocity is a vector and it has both speed and direction. It takes a force to change direction just as it does to change speed</span>. In order to have a constant velocity the object must maintain a constant direction and speed. Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day.
