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.

Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$
