Seismic waves do not travel along the Earth’s surface. The statement is false.

<h3>what are seismic waves?</h3>

The seismic waves can be defined as the waves full of energy that travel through the Earth's layer, these waves are the result of earthquake.

They can further be divided into two types body wave and surface waves. The body waves travel in the interior of the Earth and the surface waves travel at the surface of the Earth.

The seismic waves can have an amplitude of few centimeters in large earthquake. They travel slower as compared to the body waves.

Hence Seismic waves do not travel along the Earth’s surface. The statement is false.

At t=0, a block A of mass 8 kg and block B of mass 16 kg are both at position x=0 . Block A is at rest, and block B is moving at
love history [14]

The center of mass of the two objects is the average position of the parts of the two object system

The center of mass of block <em>A</em>, and block <em>B</em>  after displacement of block <em>B</em> is at <u>20 m from block </u><u><em>A</em></u>

<em />

Reason:

The given parameters are;

The position of block A and block B at t = 0 is x = 0

The mass of block A, m₁ = 8 kg

Mass of block B, m₂ = 16 kg

Speed of block <em>A</em> = 0 m/s

Speed of block <em>B</em>, v₂ = 10 m/s

Location of the center of mass of the two object at t = 3 s; Required

Solution;

The location of block <em>A</em>, after 3 s is x₁ = 0 (block A is at rest)

The location of block <em>B</em>, = v₂ × t

The location of block <em>B</em>, after 3 s is x₂ = 10 m/s × 3 s = 30 m

The center of mass of two masses are given as follows;

x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot x_1 +m_2\cdot x_2}{m_1 + m_2}

x_{cm} = \dfrac{8  \times0 + 16 \times  30}{8 + 16} = 20

The center of mass of the two objects is at at the position x = <u>20 m</u> (from block <em>A</em>)

Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.2 m apart, and are each playing a 78.0 Hz to
Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength=\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}

=\frac{343}{78}=4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397    for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397

x=1.9015 m

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 100 points if you answer these 7 questions:
netineya [11]

Answer:

#1. B. Alfred Wegener

#2. C. Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom.

#3. B, C. Continental, Sea floor (oceanic).

#4. B. Folding

#5. B. Tectonics

#6. C. Point underground where the earthquake starts

#7. C. Flood waters carrying away soil

Explanation:

#1. Alfred Lothar Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist and meteorologist. During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, and is also known as the father of plate tectonics.

#2. The most prominent feature of ocean topography discovered in the 1960s was: Volcanic activity at the ocean bottom. The continents have always been in their current positions.

#3. Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. The two types of tectonic plates are continental and oceanic tectonic plates.

#4. Tremendous pushing forces exerted by two of Earth's plates moving together squeezed rock layers from opposite sides. This caused the rock layers to buckle and fold, forming folded mountains. Folded mountains are mountains formed by the folding of rock layers caused by compression forces.

#5. Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earth's crust. It is widely accepted by scientists today. Recall that both continental landmasses and the ocean floor are part of the earth's crust, and that the crust is broken into individual pieces called tectonic plates.

#6. The hypocenter is the point within the earth where an earthquake rupture starts. The epicenter is the point directly above it at the surface of the Earth. Also commonly termed the focus. See also epicenter.

#7. This process is known as erosion. In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

A laser pointer used in a lecture hall emits light at 650 nm what is the frequency
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>The formula for frequency is speed of light divided by wavelength. 650 nm represents the wavelength and 3x10^8 m/s is the speed of light. If you convert 650nm to meters you get 6.5x10^-7 m so you can divide using the formula above, giving you 4.6x10^14 1/s or Hz, the unit of frequency in Physics.</span>
