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.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight  due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ =  400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N

Identify evidence that supports the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. put responses in the correct input to ans
GenaCL600 [577]

The evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes different fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

<h3>What is continental drift?</h3>

Continental drift is a theory that states continents once were part of one big landmass known as Pangea.

Nowadays, the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener has been replaced by plate tectonics.

In conclusion, the evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

On isolated ground receptacles, the metal yoke ____ integrally bonded to the equipment grounding terminal of the receptacle.
Ede4ka [16]

On isolated ground receptacles, the metal yoke is not allowed to be integrally bonded to the equipment grounding terminal of the receptacle.

Any device with two distinct switches or receptacles is a duplex device. It can be shaped to fit a Decora opening or a typical duplex plate opening. It should be noted that they can be combination devices with a switch/outlet, switch/pilot light, etc.

Because of grounding connection removal and receptacle, it is utterly undesirable to connect the two bare equipment grounding conductors together directly.

The equipment grounding conductor associated with those circuits must be connected to the box when circuit conductors are terminated on equipment inside a metal box to prevent unneeded current discharge.

How are EM waves and Mechanical waves different? * Check all that apply 5 points EM waves can travel through a vacuum. All EM wa
Ludmilka [50]

Particles transfer energy physically from one to the other either horizontally in a longitudinal wave, vertically in a transverse wave, or in circles in a surface wave. Waves can also be electromagnetic, which are always transverse and do not require a medium to propagate, like light waves traveling through space.

Find the ratio of the lengths of the two mathematical pendulums, if the ratio of periods is 1.5​
juin [17]

Answer:

The ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ratio of periods of two pendulums is 1.5

Let the lengths be L₁ and L₂.

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

or

T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{l}{g}\\\\l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}

Where

l is length of the pendulum

l\propto T^2

or

\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2})^2 ....(1)

ATQ,

\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=1.5

Put in equation (1)

\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(1.5)^2\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}

So, the ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.
