Body waves

Explanation:

A shear wave(S-wave) is a type of seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving.

  • Seismic waves are elastic waves usually generated when there is a disturbance within the earth.
  • There are two types of seismic waves:

                 Surface waves

                  Body waves

  • Body waves travel within the earth and they cause disturbances there. P and S waves are the two types of body waves that we have.
  • Surface waves travels on the earth surface. They are the love and rayleigh waves. They are the ones that cause destruction on the earth surface during an earthquake.

The drawing shows a side view of a swimming pool. The pressure at the surface of the water is atmospheric pressure. The pressure
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

A) To true. he pressure at the bottom of the pool decreases by exactly the same amount as the atmospheric pressure decreases

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of this problem before seeing the final statements. The pressure increases with the depth of raposin due to the weight of water that is above the person and also the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the entire pool, the equation describing this process is

    P =P_{atm} + ρ g y

Where P_{atm} is the atmospheric pressure, ρ  the water density, and 'y' the depth measured from the surface.

Let's examine this equation in we see that the total pressure is directly proportional to the atmospheric pressure and depth

Now we can examine the claims

A) To true. State agreement or with the equation above

B) False. Pressure changes with atmospheric pressure

C) False. It's the opposite

D) False. They are directly proportional

2. Harry is pushing a car down a level road at 2.0 m/s with a force of 243 N. The total force
Arte-miy333 [17]

b) Equal to 243 N.

Explanation:

The total force acting on the car in the opposite direction including the road friction and air resistance is equal to 243 N.

This is in conformity with newton's third law of motion.

Newton's third law of motion states that "action and reaction are equal and opposite in direction. "

  • The action force is that of the pull by Harry acting on the car.
  • The reaction force is in the opposite direction.
  • Both action and reaction force equal and opposite and magnitude and direction

A train goes up a hill with a 15º incline. If the train has constant speed of 22 m/s, what are the vertical and horizontal compo
Kobotan [32]
Any two-dimensional vector in cartesian (x,y) coordinates can be broken down into individual horizontal and vertical components using trigonometry. If a train goes up a hill with 15 degree incline at a speed of 22 m/s, the horizontal component is 22cos(15)=21.3 m/s and the vertical component is 22sin(15)=5.5 m/s.

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving
liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.
