Suppose you watch a leaf bobbing up and down as ripples pass it by in a pond. You notice that it does two full up and down bobs

each second. What is true of the ripples on the pond?

4 0

Answer:

The frequency of the ripples is 2Hz, and their period is 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Since the ripples on the pond are making the leaf oscillate up and down at a rate of two times per second, we can calculate the period T and the frequency f of the ripples on the ponT=\frac{1}{0.5Hz} =d.

The frequency, by definition, is the number of waves per unit of time. In this case, we have two waves per second, so the frequency is 2s⁻¹, or 2Hz.

The period is the inverse of the frequency, so

T=\frac{1}{2Hz} =0.5s

Then, the period is equal to 0.5 seconds.

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.

A piece of wood is floating in a tub of water. A second piece of wood rests on top of the first piece; it does NOT touch the wat
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

C)

Explanation:

The buoyancy and weight of the wood have to be equal for the system to be in equilibrium. The total mass (then, weight) of the wood is the same, so the total buoyancy has to be the same. Since buoyancy is the weight of the liquid displaced, the volume of liquid displaced will be the same in either case, which means that the water level will remain unchanged.
