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

Superman is standing 393 m horizontally away from Lois Lane. A villain drops a rock from 4.00 m directly above Lois. If Superman
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-963.93 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.903\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 393=0\times 0.0903+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.903^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{393\times 2}{0.903^2}\\\Rightarrow a=963.93\ m/s^2

The acceleration of Superman would be -963.93 m/s² from Lois' perspective

block of mass 0.5kg on a horizontal surface is attached to a horizontal spring of negligible mass and spring constant 50N/m . Th
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the block is 0.5kg

m = 0.5kg.

The spring constant is 50N/m

k =50N/m.

When the spring is stretch to 0.3m

e=0.3m

The spring oscillates from -0.3 to 0.3m

Therefore, amplitude is A=0.3m

Magnitude of acceleration and the direction of the force

The angular frequency (ω) is given as

ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(50/0.5)

ω = √100

ω = 10rad/s

The acceleration of a SHM is given as

a = -ω²A

a = -10²×0.3

a = -30m/s²

Since we need the magnitude of the acceleration,

Then, a = 30m/s²

To know the direction of net force let apply newtons second law

ΣFnet = ma

Fnet = 0.5 × -30

Fnet = -15N

Fnet = -15•i N

The net force is directed to the negative direction of the x -axis
