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.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

All the answers are solved and explained below.

Explanation:

Note: This questions lacks the initial and most necessary data to answer these following questions. I have found a related question. I will be considering that question to carry out the answers.

Question: A car with a mass of 1000 kg is at rest at a spotlight. when the light turns green, it is pushed by a net force of 2000 N for 10 s. (This was the information missing in this question).

Data Given:

m = 1000 kg

F = 2000N

t = 10s

Q1 Solution:

Acceleration = a = ?

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 2000/ 1000

a = 2 $m/s^{2}$

Q2: Solution:

Change in velocity = Δv = ?

acceleration = change in velocity / time

a = Δv/t

Δv = axt

Δv = 2 x 10

Δv = 20 m/s

Q3: Solution:

Impulse = I = ?

Impulse = Force x time

I = 2000 x 10

I = 20000 Ns

Q4: Solution:

Change in Momentum = Δp = ?

Δp = mΔv

Δp = 1000 x 20

Δp = 20000 Kgm/s

Q5: Solution:

Final velocity of the car at the end of 10 seconds = vf = ?

Δp = m x Δv

Δp = m x (vf-vi)

Δp = 1000 x (vf - 0 )

20000 = 1000 x vf

vf = 20000/1000

vf = 20 m/s

Q6: Solution:

Change in momentum the car experiences as it continues at this velocity?

Δp = ?

Δp = mΔv

Δp = m x (0)

Δp = 0

Q7: Solution:

Impulse = Change in momentum

Impulse = Δp

Implulse = 0

Q8: Solution:

Change in momentum = Δp = mΔv

Δp = m(vf-vi)

Δp = 1000 x (0-20)

Δp = -20000 kgm/s

Q9: Solution:

Impulse = Δp

Impulse = -20000 Ns

Q10: Solution:

Impulse = ?

Impulse = F x t

F = impulse/t

F = -20000/4s

F = -5000 N

Q11: Solution:

F = ma

a = ?

a = F/m

a = -5000/1000

a = -5 $m/s^{2}$

The Pacific Plate is moving 29 mm/year toward the north and 20 mm/year toward the west relative to the North American Plate. Sho

adell [148]

Answer:

7 mm per year

Explanation:

It is given that :

The Pacific plate is moving towards north at = 29 mm per year

The Pacific plate is moving towards west at = 20 mm per year

We have to calculate the total relative motion towards the northwest.

So we have to find the resultant of the two motions.

Since the two movements are perpendicular, therefore the angle between the two motions is 90 degree.

Therefore, finding their resultant,

$R^2=(29)^2+(20)^2$

$R^2=(49)^2$

R = 7

Therefore, total relative motion towards the northwest is 7 mm per year.

An uncharged capacitor is connected to the terminals of a 4.0 V battery, and 6.0 μC flows to the positive plate. The 4.0 V batte

Ugo [173]

Answer:

1 μC extra charge will be flow here

Explanation:

Given data

battery V1 = 4.0 V

flows Q1 = 6.0 μC

replace battery V2 = 7.0 V

to find out

what happen if we replace battery

solution

we apply here principal of capacitor

that is Q directly proportional voltage

so we say Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

put all value here

Q2/Q1 = V2/ V1

Q2/6 = 7/ 6

Q2 = 7

so we see here 7 μC will be flow

and Q = Q2 - Q1 = 7 - 6 = 1 μC

so we also say that 1 μC extra charge will be flow here
