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 person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, v_{o} = 20.0 m/s

Angle made by the ramp, \theta = 22.0^{\circ}

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH

where

H = dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}

g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}} = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, \mu = 0.150:

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd

v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5

v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5} = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}

h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m

Height from the ground = 5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.
Reika [66]

Answer:

tan \theta = \mu_s

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0 (1)

where

mg sin \theta is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, \theta the angle of the slope

\mu_s R is the frictional force, with \mu_s being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

R-mg cos \theta = 0

where

R is the normal reaction

mg cos \theta is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

R=mg cos \theta

And substituting into (1)

mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0

Re-arranging the equation,

sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of \mu_s, the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.

A construction worker accidentally drops a brick from a high scaffold. a. What is the brick's velocity after 4.0 s? b. How far d
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. 39.2 m/s

B. 78.4 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

A. Determination of the brick's velocity.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) =?

v = gt

v = 4 × 9.8

v = 39.2 m/s

Thus, the brick's velocity after 4 s is 39.2 m/s

B. Determination of how far the brick fall in 4 s.

Time (t) = 4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 4²

h = 4.9 × 16

h = 78.4 m

Thus, the brick fall 78.4 m during the time.

Answer:

B or D but im pretty sure it is D

Explanation:

When molecules are left in the sun, it heats up. When molecules heat up, the begin to vibrate rapidly. The sun is not constant as it could get blocked by clouds, so it would, at times, slow down the movement of the molecules. The answer is most likely D.
