Correct Answer: C. It is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Explanation:
A transverse wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
Correct Answer: 1.667
Explanation:
Ohm’s law gives I=V/R=10/6=1.667 A.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Wave speed v=fλ=6×5=30 m/s.

Correct Answer: C. The electric field points in the direction a positive test charge would accelerate
Explanation:
Electric-field direction is defined by the force direction on a positive test charge.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. A convex lens can converge parallel rays to a real focus
Explanation:
A convex lens is converging and brings parallel incident rays toward its principal focus.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. The half-life is the time for the number of undecayed nuclei to fall to half its initial value
Explanation:
Half-life is a characteristic decay time at which the undecayed population becomes one half.
Correct Answer: 12.86
Explanation:
Speed=distance/time=180/14=12.86 m/s.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Newton’s second law gives F=ma=6×5=30 N.
Correct Answer: 108
Explanation:
K=½mv²=½×6×6²=108.0 J.
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Wave speed v=fλ=5×4=20 m/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant
Explanation:
In an isolated system, internal forces occur in equal and opposite pairs, so total momentum is constant.
