Answer:

In Physics, a transverse wave is a moving wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave. A simple demonstration of the wave can be created on a horizontal length of the string by securing one end of the string and moving the other up and down. Light is another example of a transverse wave, where the oscillations are electric and magnetic fields that are at right angles to the ideal light rays that describe the direction of propagation.

Explanation:

Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids, oscillations, in this case, are the displacement of solid particles from their relaxed position, in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. Since these displacements correspond to local shear deformation of the material, the transverse waves of this form are known as a shear wave. In seismology, shear waves are also known as secondary waves or S-waves.

Examples of Transverse waves

Some examples of transverse waves are listed below:

The ripples on the surface of the water

Electromagnetic waves

Stadium or a human wave

Ocean Waves

The secondary waves of an earthquake

Experts, ACE, Genius... can anybody calculate for the Reactions at supports A and B please? Will give brainliest! Given: fb = 30

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Support at Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N

Support at Ay = 200 k-N

Explanation:

given:

fb = 300 k-N/m

fc = 100 k-N/m

D = 300 k-N

L ab = 6 m

L bc = 6 m

L cd = 6 m

To get the reaction A or C.

take summation of moment either A or C.

Support Cy:

∑ M at Ay = 0

(( x1 * F ) + ( D * Lab ) + ( D * L bc + D * L cd )

Cy = -------------------------------------------------------------------

( L ab + L bc )

Cy = 1.3 x 10³ k-N

Support Ay:

Since ∑ F = 0, A + C - F - D = 0

A = F + D - C

Ay = 200 k-N

The summer camps had a field trip from the campus to Fragrance Hill. They traveled at an average speed of 65 km/h in the first 2

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:

km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km

Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:

We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us

$65\frac{km}{hr}*2hr$ and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got

65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.

We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us

$78\frac{km}{hr}*xhr$ and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got

78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)

130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:

78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:

x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.
