How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?

Physics
2 answers:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.

Sound waves don't cause earthquakes.

When parts of the Earth shake and quake and rub against each other, THAT's an earthquake.

THEN, whenever anything is shaking, THAT makes sound waves.

(6.MS-ETS2-1(MA).) The electrons in __________ move about more freely than the electrons in insulators which is why this type of
Tresset [83]

Answer:

A) conductors

Explanation:

A conductor can be defined as any material or object that allows the free flow of current or electrons (charge) in one or more directions in an electrical circuit. Some examples of a conductor are metals, tungsten, copper, aluminum, iron, graphite, etc.

Basically, the main purpose of a conductor in physics is to provide a low-resistance path between electrical circuits or components. This low-resistance path is to ensure that the electrical components allows the free flow of electrons and thus, enabling charge transfer.

Hence, the electrons in conductors move about more freely than the electrons in insulators which is why this type of material can be used to create electric circuits because it would significantly provide a low-resistance path between the electric circuits.

If a substance is found to be reactive flammable soluble and explosive what observation is also a physical property
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>soluble</em></u>

Explanation:

Chemical properties only manifest when a chemical reaction occurs. Being reactive, flammable and explosive are chemical properties, because they involve chemical reactions: the substances are changed; the chemical bonds of some substances, called reactants, are broken, and the chemical bonds are created, forming other substances, called products.

Solubility is a<em> physical property</em> because during dissolution no new substances are formed. You can prove it when the solvent evaporates leaving behind the same original substance.

The the observation that the substance is <em>soluble</em> is describing a <em>physical property.</em>

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
suter [353]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
