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.

A 15.0-gram lead ball at 25.0°C was heated with 40.5 joules of heat. Given the specific heat of lead is 0.128 J/g∙°C, what is th
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

T=4985.5^{\circ}K

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change T-T_0 of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is Q=mc(T-T_0).

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add 273^{\circ} to our temperature in ^{\circ}C to have it in ^{\circ}K as it must be):

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K

solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.
