d. both a and b

Explanation:

Seismic waves are both transverse and compressional or longitudinal waves.

A seismic wave is an elastic wave that causes a sudden disturbance in earth materials.

  • Seismic waves are both longitudinal and transverse waves.
  • There are two main types of seismic waves which are the surface and body waves.
  • The surface waves runs on the earth surface. These are the rayleigh and love waves.
  • The surface waves causes damages on the earth surface as they are both longitudinal and transverse.
  • Body waves moves within the earth surface. They are p-waves and s-waves.
  • P-waves are longitudinal or compressional waves that propagates within the earth surface.
  • S-waves are transverse waves that moves perpendicularly to their direction of propagation.

If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular
erastova [34]

Answer;

D. The car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

Explanation;

-Centripetal force is any net force causing uniform circular motion. The direction of a centripetal force is toward the center of curvature, the same as the direction of centripetal acceleration.

-The centripetal force causing the car to turn in a circular path is due to friction between the tires and the road. A minimum coefficient of friction is needed, or the car will move in a larger-radius curve and leave the roadway.

-Therefore,If the centripetal and thus frictional force between the tires and the roadbed of a car moving in a circular path were reduced then the car would begin to move in the direction it was headed in a straight line.

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.
