Answer:
- longitudinal waves only
Explanation:
The P seismic waves travel as elastic motions at the highest speeds. They are longitudinal waves that can be transmitted by both solid and liquid materials in the Earth's interior.

I don't understand this question
could you please explain
Answer:
(a) the time needs for her to cross the river is 2736.8 s.
(b) the distance takes to reach the other side of the river is 2490.5 m.
Explanation:
given information:
woman's speed, v₁ = 1.9 m/s
the wide of river, s = 5.2 km = 5200 m
river's current, v₂ = 0.91 m/s
(a) How much time does it take her to cross the river?
s = v t
s = the displacement (m)
v = speed (m/s)
t = time (s)
s = v t
t = s/v
= 5200/1.9
= 2736.8 s
(b) How far downstream will the river carry her by the time she reaches the other side of the river?
s = v t
= (0.91) (2736.8)
= 2490.5 m
Answer:
x = 0.40 m
Explanation:
- When the displacement is maximum, the particle is momentarily at rest, which means that at this point (assuming no friction present) all the mechanical energy is elastic potential, which can be written as follows:
- Since in absence of friction, total mechanical energy must keep constant, this means that at any time, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy, must be equal to (1), as follows:
- If KEf = U/2f, replacing in (2), we get:
- At any point, the elastic potential energy is given by the following expression:
where k= spring constant (N/m) and x is the displacement from the
equilibrium position.
- Replacing (4) in (3), simplifying and rearranging, we get:
- Finally, solving for x, we get:
That all depends on the planet toward which the mass is falling.
If this happens to be taking place near the Earth, then the object accelerates
at the rate of about 9.8 meters per second every second.
Furthermore, if there is truly no air resistance, then it makes no difference whether
the object is a feather, a mass of 30 kg, or a school-bus. All objects accelerate at
the same rate regardless of their mass.
