A reference point for determining position and motion could be?
The earths surface, a building, and a moving object
How do particles move in a surface wave?
Surface Waves can propagate only along the boundary of solid.Two types are:Rayliegh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.Love Waves are polarized shear wave with an associated oscillatory particle motion parallel to the free space and perpendicular to the direction wave motion.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
Force that opposes motion of surface as it moves across another surface?
the force that opposes the motion of two touching surfaces is velocity.
What is the most common reference point for detecting motion?
Earth's surface is a common reference point for detecting motion.
True or false Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion Motion parallel to earths surface is vertical motion?
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
What is motion perpendicular to the ground?
Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.
What are particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to the wave motion?
Surface waves are where particles of the medium move both parallel and perpendicular to wave motion. This movement creates a circular motion pattern. An example of a surface wave is water waves on the surface of a pond.
What describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
Surface waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motion of the particles in the medium. This means the particles move both up and down, as well as back and forth, in a circular or elliptical motion. The motion of the particles is more complex compared to simple longitudinal or transverse waves.
What is vertical motion?
is motion that is perpendicular to the ground
What do we call a fractured surface in earths crust where a mass of rocks is in motion?
Butt face
What force is always perpendicular to the motion when in a circular motion?
The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion in circular motion. It acts towards the center of the circle, keeping the object moving in a circular path.
A reference point for determining position and motion could be?
The earths surface, a building, and a moving object
When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?
No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
How does the direction of motion of a satellite in circular orbit compare with the curve of earth's surface?
The direction of motion of a satellite in a circular orbit is perpendicular to the curved surface of the Earth. This means that the satellite moves parallel to the surface at a constant distance rather than following the curve of the Earth.
What force is always perpendicular to motion?
The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. It acts towards the center of the circular path that an object is following.
