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.

A uniform electric field has a magnitude 1.80 kV/m and points in the +x direction. (a) What is the electric potential difference

EastWind [94]

Answer:

a)ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)ΔU =18.79 mJ

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1.8 KV/m

We know that

Electric potential difference ΔV given as

ΔV = E .d

Here

E= 1.8 KV/m

d= 3.6 m

ΔV = E .d

ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV

ΔV = 6.48 KV

Given that

q=+2.90 µC

Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as

ΔU = q .ΔV

$\Delta U=2.9\times 10^{-6}\times 6.48\times 10^3\ J$

ΔU =18.79 mJ

Which would have the longer orbital period: a moon 1 million km from the center of Jupiter, or a moon 1 million km from the cent

Harman [31]

Answer:

earth

Explanation:

The formula for the orbital period of the moon is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}$

As the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity of the planet.

As the value of acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is more than the earth, so the period of moon around the earth is large as compared to the period of the moon around the Jupiter when the distance is same.
