<span>P waves
P-waves are sometimes called pressure waves, and sometimes they are called longitudinal waves. P-waves are transmitted through the Earth’s interior with a backwards and forwards motion along the line of travel, by alternating compression and dilatation. A jack hammer creates P-waves. They are capable of passing through any type of material they encounter, including the liquid of the Earth’s outer core, although they
will be bent and deflected when they pass across the boundaries separating
layers of different densities.

The first one is A and the second one would be C
Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. Choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move. Then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is 
, where x is in meters. Determine the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel.
Explanation:
We will calculate the work done as follows.
W = 
= 
= ![[14000x + 5000x^{2} - 8666.7x^{3}]^{0.54}_{0}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B14000x%20%2B%205000x%5E%7B2%7D%20-%208666.7x%5E%7B3%7D%5D%5E%7B0.54%7D_%7B0%7D)
= 7560 + 1458 - 1364.69
= 7653.31 J
or, = 7.65 kJ (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)
Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gas on the bullet as the bullet travels the length of the barrel is 7.65 kJ.
