<span>When the particles of a medium move with simple harmonic motion, this means the wave is a sinusoidal wave.
Know that a sinusoidal curve can describe either sine or cosine functions (remember your cofunction identities for sine and cosine).</span>

Answer:
The answer is: c. It does not move
Explanation:
Because the gravitational force is characterized by being an internal force within the Earth-particle system, in this case, the object of mass M. And since in this system there is no external force in the system, it can be concluded that the center of mass of the system will not move.
Answer:
Friction acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the truck and box.
Explanation:
Let's first review the problem.
A moving truck applies the brakes, and a box on it does not slip.
Now when the truck is applying brakes, only it itself is being slowed down. Since the box is slowing down with the truck, we can conclude that it is friction that slows it down.
The box in the question tries to maintains its velocity forward when the brakes are applied. We can think of this as the box exerting a positive force relative to the truck when the brakes are applied. When we imagine this, we can also figure out where the static friction will act to stop this positive force. Friction will act in the negative direction. Or in other words, friction will act in the opposite direction to the motion of the truck and box. This explains why the box slows down with the truck, as friction acts to stop its motion.
