How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?

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.

With the switch open, roughly what must be the resistance of the resistor on the right for the current out of the battery to be

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The resistance must be 6.67 $\Omega$

Solution:

Resistance, $R_{1} = 20\Omega$

Resistance, $R_{2} = 10\Omega$

For the current to be the same when the switch is open or closed, the resistances must be connected in parallel as current is distributed in parallel with the same voltage across the circuit:

Thus in parallel:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}$

$R_{eq} = 6.67\ \Omega$

As the launch force increase the launch velocity will

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

As the launch force increase the launch velocity will

Increase

The reason for your answer to number six is because

There is a direct relationship between force and acceleration.

Explanation:

It is known all over the place that, there is a direct relationship between Force and acceleration of an object leading to an increase in force being directly proportional to the increase in the acceleration of the given object and vice versa.
