An ocean wave is an example of a(n) _____ wave form.transverse
longitudinal
compression
circular

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: An ocean wave is an example of a circular wave form. Circular waves are also called orbital waves. These type of waves combines the other two types of waves namely the longitudinal and transverse wave forms. Orbital or circular waves happens at the interface between two substances having different densities.
Answer 2
Answer:

An ocean wave is an example of a(n) transverse wave form. Therefore option 1 is correct.

Transverse waves are characterized by the displacement of particles perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In other words, the oscillations of the particles occur in a direction that is perpendicular (or transverse) to the direction of wave travel.

When an ocean wave forms, the particles of water move up and down in a vertical motion, while the wave itself moves horizontally. This up-and-down motion of the water particles is perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is traveling, making it a transverse wave.

Explain the difference between mass and weight for objects on earth and on the mooon

Answers

Explanation:

The amount of matter contained inside a body is called its mass while the weight of a body is the gravitational force with which it is attracted towards the earth.

Weight, W = mg

m is the mass and g is acceleration due to gravity  

The mass of the object on the moon remains the same but the weight of the body is reduced to one sixth. This is because the moon's gravity is less than the earth's gravity.            

Hence, this is the main difference in the weight of the object on the earth and on the moon.                                    

Mass stays the same no matter what, weight however is affected by gravity and will be different on the moon than on earth.

How many points does it take to determine a plane? one two three four

Answers

Answer: Three

A plane requires minimum three points for its determination. These three points should  be non-collinear or the third point should not lie in same line as made with any two points. By joining two points, a line is formed. A point is one dimensional.

By joining minimum three non-co-linear points, a plane can be formed.

Given three non-collinearpoints in space, they uniquely define a plane. The correct option is C.

Three-dimensional space requires at least three non-collinear points in order to establish a plane. Any additional points would also lie on the plane formed by these three points.

This is due to the fact that a plane is a two-dimensional surface that can go on forever. We define a plane that traverses all three points by joining three non-collinear points.

Their positions when combined result in a flat, continuous surface. More points would simply serve to confirm the plane's definition rather than alter it. Because of this, three points are sufficient to build a plane in three dimensions.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm3 and a mass of 282.5 g. What is its volume?

Answers

Well we know that density=mass divided by volume, so let's substitute :)

11.3=282.5/V

Now we know that 282.5 has to be divided by SOMETHING in order to get 11.3.

You can waste time trying every number under the sun, or you can use a little trick I learned in elementary school which is to divide 282.5 by 11.3. This works because it shows how many times 11.3 goes into 282.5 which is the volume of this "piece of" lead. Since 11.3 goes perfectly 25 times into 282.5, the Volume of this "piece of" lead is 25 cm³. :)

Why don't satellites in orbit fall to the ground? Why they don't fly off into space?

Answers


-- The satellite IS falling, but it never reaches the ground because
it's also moving "sideways" ... in the direction of the orbit ... and
because the Earth is shaped like a sphere.
 
The satellite is moving sideways fast enough so that by the time
it falls 1 foot, the Earth's surface has curved down away from it
1 foot, so it's still the same distance from the Earth's surface.

-- A satellite doesn't fly off into space for the same reason that
a yo-yo doing "around the world" on the end of a string doesn't
fly off ... It's being held onto the circle by the tension in the string,
a force that keeps pulling it toward the center of the circle.

There's a force on the satellite too, that keeps pulling it toward
the center of the Earth.  It's the gravitational force between the
Earth and the satellite.

The satellite doesn't fly off into space for the same reason that
YOU don't do that either.  

The complex balancing act between a satellite's forward speed and the gravitational force pressing upon it prevents satellites in orbit from falling to the ground or shooting off into space.

When a satellite is put into orbit, it reaches a fast enough speed to escape the Earth's gravitational attraction.

By continuously falling towards the Earth and moving forward at the same time, the satellite may maintain a stableorbit.

This motion results in a curved course, which causes the Earth to be in a constant state of freefall.

Although the satellite is constantly being drawn towards the Earth by gravity, its forward velocity prevents it from dropping.

Thus, satellites don't fall or break free into space and are kept in a stable orbit.
