Answer:

D. P waves move straight through all medium and S waves move only through solids in a curvy motion

Explanation:

The first kind of wave that is mentioned here is the P wave. This is also called the primary wave. This type of wave can move through solid rock and fluids. Because of this, this is the wave that arrives first at a seismic station. These are compressional waves. On the other hand, S waves are the second type of wave that you feel in an earthquake. These are slower and do not move through liquid mediums.

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?
sattari [20]

Knee sprains can be classified into three grades, depending on the amount of damage: Grade 1: a few fibres (less than 10%) are damaged/torn. Usually heals naturally. Grade 2: more fibres are torn but the ligament is still intact. Grade 3: the ligament is ruptured ie completely torn.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

10.13

Explanation:

take note that velocity is distance over time (v=\frac{d}{t}) so you do 456(distance)÷45(time)= 10.13

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr
maw [93]

Answer:

x = 0.081 m.

Explanation:

a) To find how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress we need to use the following equation:

F = k*x    (1)

<u>Where</u>:

F: is the force

k: is the spring constant = 3300 N/m

x: is the distance of compression =?

The force can be found as follows:

F = P*A    

<u>Where</u>:

P: is the atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

A: is the area of the piston = πr²

r: is the radius = 0.029 m

F = 101325 Pa*\pi*(0.029 m)^{2} = 267.7 N    

Now, from equation (1) we can find x:

x = \frac{F}{k} = \frac{267.7 N}{3300 N/m} = 0.081 m    

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure causes the spring to compress 0.081 m.      

I hope it helps you!

Jen falls out of a tree and lands on a trampoline. The trampoline sags 60 cm before launching Jen back into the air. At the very
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

At the very bottom, whnere the sag is the greatest, Jay’s acceleration is upward.

Explanation:

As Jay lands on the trampoline, Jay’s motion was dowward,  the trampoline was opposing his motion and hence, caused him to reach an initial halt position. Afterwards, the trampoline causes Jay to move back into the  air and therefore, the change in velocity vector act in upward direction. The acceleration vector is always align towards the change in velocity vector's direction.

There are two blocks: one large one initially at rest, and a smaller one, initially moving to the right withsome speed. The smal
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of small block be v .

by applying conservation of momentum we can find velocity of common mass

25 v = 75 V , V is velocity of common mass after collision.

V = v / 3

For reaching the height we shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

1/2  x 75 x V² = 75 x g x 10

V² = 2g x 10

v² / 9 = 2 x 9.8 x 10

v² = 9 x 2 x 9.8 x 10

v = 42 m /s

small block must have velocity of 42 m /s .

Impulse by small block on large block

= change in momentum of large block

= 75 x V

= 75  x 42 / 3

= 1050 Ns.
