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.
Force that opposes motion of surface as it moves across another surface?
the force that opposes the motion of two touching surfaces is velocity.
Wave motion perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving is?
a transverse wave
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 describes the motion of the media for a surface wave?
The motion is parallel to wave direction The motion is both parallel and perpendicular to wave direction. The motion is perpendicular to wave direction.
What is motion perpendicular to the ground?
Vertical motion is the motion that is perpendicular to the ground.
What is vertical motion?
is motion that is perpendicular to the ground
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
Is earths surface in constant motion?
Yes, relative to any observer not attached to the earth's surface.
What do we call a fractured surface in earths crust where a mass of rocks is in motion?
Butt face
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 force is always perpendicular to the motion when in a circular motion?
The Centripetal Force
In circular motion the what force is always perpendicular to the motion?
The Centripetal Force
What is a direction that a mechanical wave can displace its medium?
Both parallel and perpendicular to the motion of the wave at the same time/Perpendicular to the motion of the wave/Parallel to the motion of the wave - APEXPerpendicular to the motion of the wave.Parallel to the motion of the wave.Both parallel and pependicular to the motion of the wave at the same time.
