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.

You are riding a rollercoaster going around a vertical loop, on the inside of the loop. If the loop has a radius of 30 meters, h
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2

Your mass = m

You feel three times as heavy at the top of the loop.

Normal force on you = N = 3mg

Radius of the loop = R

Speed of the cart = V

Centripetal force required for the circular motion = Fc

F = m

The centripetal force is provided by the normal force on you which is directed downwards and your own weight which is directed downwards.

Fc = mg + N

Fc = mg + 3mg

Fc = 4mg

m12 -= 4mg R

V = 4gR

V = 4(9.81)(30)

V = 34.3 m/s

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho
amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Two swimmers begin a race and Swimmer A completes each length of the pool in 30 seconds, while Swimmer B completes each length i
Anni [7]

Answer:1.33 times

Explanation:

Given

A takes 30 sec to complete each length

While B takes 40 sec to complete each length

Let L be the Length of Swimming pool Length

and V_a and V_b be the length of A & B

Thus after 5 minutes A traveled

x_a=\frac{L}{30}\times 5\times 60=10L

x_b=\frac{L}{40}\times 5\times 60=7.5L

so A is 2.5L units ahead of B

A has traveled 1.33 times than B in 5 mins

If in a vernier callipers 10 VSD coincides with 8 MSD then the least count of varnier calliper is
ratelena [41]

Answer:0.2mm

Explanation:

The length of one VSD=8/10=0.8mm

The least count of the instrument is the difference between the length of one MSD and length of one VSD

The length of inebriated MSD=1mm

Therefore,

The least count=1-0.8=0.2mm

A small cylinder rests on a circular turntable that is rotating clockwise at a constant speed. Which set of vectors gives the di
I am Lyosha [343]

The question is missing the diagram. Also, the choices must have pictorial representation. So, I have attached the missing diagram and the pictorial representation of the vectors.

Answer:

The correct representation is attached below. Force and acceleration will be towards the center of rotation while the velocity will be along the tangent to the circular motion. <u>Option (D).</u>

Explanation:

From the figure, we can conclude the following points:

1. The cylinder is under a uniform circular motion as the circular table is moving at constant speed.

2. For a circular motion, velocity acts along the tangent to the circular path.

3. For a circular motion, centripetal force acts on the body that causes it move around a circular path.

4 The direction of the centripetal force is radially inward towards the center of rotation.

5. The centripetal force causes a centripetal acceleration acting on the body.

6. From Newton's second law, the net acceleration of a body is in the same direction as that of the net force acting on it. So, centripetal acceleration also acts in the radially inward direction.

Therefore, from the above conclusions, it is clear that velocity will act in the horizontal direction at the given instance of time and force and acceleration will act vertically down for the given instance.

This is shown in the picture below. The option (D).
