Answer:

A SURFACE wave moves the medium in the same direction as the wave travels.

Explanation:

Each particles of water in an ocean wave moves in a CIRCLE. A transverse wave moves a medium at an OBTUSE angle to the wave.

Answer:

Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

If you push or pull one end of a slinky, you can produce a longitudinal wave. The coils in the spring move back and forth in the same direction, or parallel, to the wave's motion. A longitudinal wave vibrates the medium in the same direction as the wave travels.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

W = 16.5 Kj

P = 49.9 Watt

E = 16471

Explanation:

m = 73.5kg

t = 5min 30sec = (5×60) + 30 = 330sec

each step = 16.6cm = 0.166m

h = 135×0.166 = 22.41 m

g = 10 m/s²

(i) W = F × s = W × h = mgh

W = 73.5×10×22.41 = 16471.35

W = 16.5 Kj

(ii) Power = workdone/time

P = 16471.35/330

P = 49.9 Watt

(iii) The energy burnt in this process = 16471

A turtle ambles leisurely, as turtles tend to do, when it moves from a location with position vector 1,=1.91 m and 1,=−2.73 m in

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Components: 0.0057, -0.0068. Magnitude: 0.0089 m/s

Explanation:

The displacement in the x-direction is:

$d_x = 3.65-1.91=1.74 m$

While the displacement in the y-direction is:

$d_y = -4.79 -(-2.73)=-2.06 m$

The time taken is t = 304 s.

So the components of the average velocity are:

$v_x = \frac{d_x}{t}=\frac{1.74}{304}=0.0057 m/s$

$v_y = \frac{d_y}{t}=\frac{-2.06}{304}=-0.0068 m/s$

And the magnitude of the average velocity is

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(0.0057)^2+(-0.0068)^2}=0.0089 m/s$

A fireperson is 50 m from a burning building and directs a stream of water from a fire hose at an angle of 300 above the horizon

notsponge [240]

Answer:

We can think the water stream as a solid object that is fired.

The distance between the fireperson and the building is 50m. (i consider that the position of the fireperson is our position = 0)

The angle is 30 above the horizontal. (yo wrote 300, but this has no sense because 300° implies that he is pointing to the ground).

The initial speed of the stream is 40m/s.

First, using the fact that:

x = R*cos(θ)

y = R*sin(θ)

in this case R = 40m/s and θ = 30°

We can use the above relation to find the components of the velocity:

Vx = 40m/s*cos(30°) = 34.64m/s

Vy = 20m/s.

First step:

We want to find the time needed to the stream to hit the buildin.

The horizontal speed is 34.64m/s and the distance to the wall is 50m

So we want that:

34.64m/s*t = 50m

t = 50m/(34.64m/s) = 1.44 seconds.

Now we need to calculate the height of the stream at t = 1.44s

Second step:

The only force acting on the water is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the stream is:

a(t) = -g.

g = -9.8m/s^2

For the speed, we integrate over time and we get:

v(t) = -g*t + v0

where v0 is the initial speed: v0 = 20m/s.

The velocity equation is:

v(t) = -g*t + 20m/s.

For the position, we integrate again over time:

p(t) = -(1/2)*g*t^2 + 20m/s*t + p0

p0 is the initial height of the stream, this data is not known.

Now, the height at the time t = 1.44s is

p(1.44s) = -5.9m/s^2*(1.44s)^2 + 20m/s*1.44s + po

= 16.57m + p0

So the height at wich the stream hits the building is 16.57 meters above the initial height of the fire hose.

DochEvi [55]

The energy of the incident electron in keV is 5.51× 10—²² keV.

Capacity or ability to do work is termed energy. Energy exists in various forms. It can be in the form of mechanical, potential, thermal, kinetic, and many other forms. Joules is the SI of the energy. The potential energy of a system is defined as the energy stored due to its position. While kinetic energy is defined as the energy

stored due to its position.

Radius1 of the trajectory = 1.00 cm

Radius2 of the trajectory = 2.4 0 cm

The magnitude of the uniform magnetic field = 0.0440 T

A Uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the trajectories.

The velocity of the incident electron is,

$v = \frac{eBR}{m}$
