Answer:
P-waves travel through liquids and solid while S-waves only travel through solids.
Explanation:
Scientists are able to use the fact that P-waves travel through both solids and liquids and waves travel through only solids to determine what makes the different layers of the Earth.
It's lead. That's why the "apron" is so heavy.
The continuious physical force per unit area that one region of a gas, liquid, or solid exerts on another.
Answer:
(a) 1767.43 N
(b) 182.45 N
Explanation:
Radius of earth, R = 6450 km
Weight of person, W = 7070 N
mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg
(a) h = 6450 km
The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by
g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2
The weight of the person at such height is
W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45
W' = 1767.43 N
(b) h = 33700 km
The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by
g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2
The weight of the person at such height is
W' = m x g'
W' = 721.4 x 0.253
W' = 182.45 N
