Answer : The correct option is, Their direction of motion is east and west.

Explanation :

There are two types of waves :

Longitudinal waves : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Transverse wave : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

When a transverse wave is traveling from north to south then the direction of  motion of the wave particle will be perpendicular to north-south direction which is east-west direction.

Hence, the correct option is, Their direction of motion is east and west.

Transverse waves travel on a direction that is perpendicular to the motion of the particles (or whatever medium is waving)  So the particles must be moving east to west, which is transverse to the north-south motion of the wave

You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

A certain alarm clock ticks four times each second, with each tick representing half a period. The balance wheel consists of a t
Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

b. K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

a.

I = m*r^2

m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg

r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m

I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2

I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

b.

T=0.5 s

T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}

Solve to K'

K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}

K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m

A weather balloon is rising vertically from a launching pad on the ground. A technician standing 300 feet from the launching pad
avanturin [10]

Answer:

\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s

Explanation:

Let

h = height of balloon (in feet).

θ = angle made with line of sight and ground (in radians).

h = 300  tanθ

\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta

now  \dfrac{dh}{dt} can be written as

\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}

\dfrac{d\theta }{dt} = \dfrac{1}{120}\at \ \theta =\dfrac{\pi}{4}

When θ = π/4,

\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 300 sec^2\theta

\dfrac{dh}{d\theta } = 600

\dfrac{dh}{dt} =\dfrac{dh}{d\theta }\times \dfrac{d\theta }{dt}

\dfrac{dh}{dt} =600\times \dfrac{1}{120}

\dfrac{dh}{dt} =5\ ft/s

The H line in Calcium is normally at 396.9 nm. However, in a star's spectrum, it is measured at 398.1nm. How fast is the star mo
agasfer [191]

As we know by Doppler's effect of light we have

\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} = \frac{v}{c}

here we will have

[tex}\frac{398.1 nm - 396.9 nm}{398.1 nm} = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

here by solving above we have

3.01 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{v}{c}

here we have

v = 904.3 km/s

since wavelength is increased so we can say that it is moving away

so correct answer is

1- 904.3 km/s away from the Earth

Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed
makkiz [27]
Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft 
h = -16t2 + v0t  
40 = -16t2 + 56t 
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0  
Solving the quadratic equation:  
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32 
 We have two possible solutions  
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5 
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1  
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.
