Answer: S waves description include the following statement: THEY MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, THEY ARRIVE AFTER P WAVES, THEY TRAVEL THROUGH SOLIDS.

Explanation: -S wave moves side to side because its motion/oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This type of wave is known as TRANSVERSE WAVE.

-S wave arrives after P wave because they are slower; P wave speed is about 6.8km per second while S wave speed is about 3.8km per second.

Again, S wave energy is not easily transmitted through the medium it's moving compared to P wave because it's wave motion is TRANSVERSE WAVE which can also be called SHEAR WAVE.

S wave, therefore, is the second wave you feel during an earthquake.

-S wave travels through solid rocks because rocks have shear strength/rigidity. Shear strength holds rocks together and allows them to resist gravity pull. Therefore, the shear strength in rocks allows shear wave which is found in S wave to move through them.

2. How much Potential Energy is gained when a 1250 N mass is raised a vertical distance of<br>35 m?​
vichka [17]

Potential Energy

The potential energy gained is 43750 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of an object's position relative to the ground ie, the height of the other object.

For example, an object has more potential energy when it is on top of a two-story building than it does resting on the ground. That's because the object's relative position to the Earth gives it more energy.

Potential Energy is defined as

Potential energy = Mass * height

Given Mass M = 1250 N

Given height h = 35 m

So the potential energy = 1250 * 35 = 43750 J

Thus the potential energy is 43750 J

What are the reason behind the voyages​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Motives for Exploration For early explorers, one of the main motives for exploration was the desire to find new trade routes to Asia. By the 1400s, merchants and crusaders had brought many goods to Europe from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Demand for these goods increased the desire for trade.
