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.

The pressure on a balloon holding 356 mL of an ideal gas is increased from 267 torr to 1.00 atm. What is the new volume of the b
Natalija [7]

Answer:

124.52 mL

Explanation:

from Boyle's Law,

PV = P'V' ................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure of the gas, V = Initial volume of the gas, P' = Final pressure of the gas, V' = Final volume of the gas.

make V' the subject of the equation.

V' = PV/P'............. Equation 2

Given: P = 267 torr = (267×0.00131) = 0.34977 atm, V = 356 mL, P' = 1 atm

Substitute into equation 2

V' = (0.34977×356)/1

V' = 124.52 mL.

Hence the new volume of the balloon = 124.52 mL
