<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

P, S, L

When reading a seismograph,<u> </u><u>P waves</u> come first, then <u>S waves,</u> and, finally, <u>L waves</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Seismic waves are used to measure the strength of an earthquake using and instrument called  seismograph. The major three seismic waves used are the primary waves (P-waves), secondary waves (S-waves) and the L waves.
  • Secondary waves move through earth by causing particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the waves.  Primary waves on the other hand move through the earth by causing particles of rocks to move back and forth in the same direction as the waves.
  • The <u>primary waves</u> are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake . These waves move in a push-and-pull motion.

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away

Please explain how to solve 17 and 18
andriy [413]

Answer:

17. h = l − l cos θ

18. 1.40 m

Explanation:

Let's call d the height of the triangle.  We can then say:

h = l − d

Using trig, we can write d in terms of l and θ:

d = l cos θ

h = l − l cos θ

If l = 6 m and l cos θ = 40°:

h = 6 − 6 cos 40

h ≈ 1.40

How did the formation of natural gas and oil differ from the formation of coal?
ivann1987 [24]

Explanation:

Coal and natural gases are fossil fuels that are found in geologic formation. They both form under similar environment of high temperature and pressure which transforms organic matter.

Natural gas is a fluid and coal is a solid.

How did they form differently?

  • Natural and gas and petroleum are both derived from an organic matter rich in both plant and animal remains.
  • Coal is typically derived from organic matter that is rich in only plant remains usually formed in swampy area.

Calculate the molar heat capacity of a monatomic non-metallic solid at 298K which is characterized by an Einstein temperature of
Ratling [72]

Answer: 5.5 ×10^-2 ×3R. Non metals that are solid at room temperature has mono atomic atoms that has only 3 translational modes.

This is why their constant volume molar heat capacities are measured in multiples of 3R.

Explanation: see attachment
