15. Some people have observed that animal behavior changes just before an earthquake. What might explain this?

Ber [7]2 years ago

Answer:

15: Animals are able to detect the first of an earthquake's seismic waves—the P-wave, or pressure wave, that arrives in advance of the S-wave, or secondary, shaking wave. This likely explains why animals have been seen snapping to attention, acting confused or running right before the ground starts to shake.

16: No, it is not even remotely true. Microwaves cook food from the outside in, just like a regular oven. In fact, most of the cooking on the inside of the food, depending on its thickness, is done by heat conduction from the outside surfaces inwards, as the microwaves do not actually penetrate that far into the food.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Find two boxes just a bit smaller than the other. The long sides of the box should be less than twice as long as the short side of the boxes. The smaller box should fit inside the larger box with about 1 inch in each direction to spare. The boxes can be cut down so that they fit together properly. Leave the flaps on the boxes. Buy a small sheet of Plexiglas (tm) a little bit smaller than the width and length of the top of the box. You will also need four pieces of cardboard to use for reflectors.

When force is applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the length of the lever by the?
Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.

The volumes of a sample of lead and a sample of platinum are the same: 2 cm3. The density of lead is 11.3 g/cm3 and the density
Vlad1618 [11]

The answer is C. The mass of the platinum sample is greater than the mass of the lead sample. As I explained in a previous answer, if they are the same volume, but one is heavier, then it must be more dense. In this particular example, the platinum is more dense than the lead, and therefore has more mass.

A steel beam that is 5.50 m long weighs 332 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m

    Weight of the beam, (W_{b}) = 332 N

     Weight of the Suki, (W_{s}) = 505 N

After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

                 \sum M_{o} = 0

     -W_{s} \times x + W_{b} \times 1.5 = 0

                x = \frac{W_{b} \times 1.5}{W_{s}}

                   = \frac{332 N \times 1.5}{505 N}

                   = 0.986 m

Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.

Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
