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.

You flip a coin straight up if the coin reaches a high point of 0.25 m above where you released it what was the initial speed?

Julli [10]

Answer: 2.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Coin reaches a height of 0.25 m above the launch point

Suppose u is the initial speed of the coin

Using the equation of motion

$\Rightarrow v^2-u^2=2as\\$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2\times g\times s=2\times (-9.8)\times 0.25\\\Rightarrow u^2=4.9\\\Rightarrow u=2.21\ m/s$

Thus, the initial velocity is 2.21 m/s

You apply a force of 500 N to 150 N/m. how much does it stretch? Show the equation you are using, plus the values into the equat

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

3.33m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force applied =500N

Elastic constant = 150N/m

Unknown:

Amount of stretch or extension = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below:

F = k e

F is the force applied

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension

So;

500 = 150 x e

e = $\frac{500}{150}$ = 3.33m

Why does cold water sink?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water
