<h3>Answer;</h3>
<em>B.)neither longitudinal nor transverse</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Longitudinal waves</u></em> are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.
- <em><u>Transverse waves</u></em> on the other hand are those waves in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion.
- In <em><u>surface waves particles in the medium of transmission move in a circular motion.</u></em> Therefore, they are neither transverse waves nor longitudinal waves.
The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J
Explanation:
First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).
As,
Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height
PE = m*g*h --- (A)
In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.
mg = 50N
h = height = 1.5m
Plug the values in equation (A):
PE = 50 * 1.5 = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>
It will sink because mass does not affect the physical properties of the object.
KE = (1/2)·(mass)·(speed)²
KE = (1/2)·(50 kg)·(18 m/s)²
KE = (25 kg)·(324 m²/s²)
KE = 8,100 kg-m²/s²
KE = 8,100 Joules
