Because then it could mess up the machine with to much energy
D? maybe i’m trying to. see if it’s d or b
Our values can be defined like this,



The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

Where
KE = Kinetic energy,
Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by
W = Fd
and kinetic energy by

So,

Clearing F,

Replacing the values


B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.
I am pretty sure that the only statement which is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know, it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.
B. secondary waves aka shear waves
