"The are many different seismic waves, but all of basically of four types:

Compressional or P (for primary)
or S (for secondary)
Love
Rayleigh
An earthquake radiates P and S waves in all directions and the interaction of the P and S waves with Earth's surface and shallow structure produces surface waves."

Based on discoveries to date, which of the following conclusions is justified?a) Most stars have one or more terrestrial planets
KIM [24]

Based on discoveries to date, the conclusion as “Planetary systems are common and planets similar in size to Earth are also common” is justified.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Some studies show that on average, each star has at least single planet. This means that most stars, such as the Solar System, possess planets (otherwise exoplanets). It is known that small planets (more or less Earthly or slightly larger) are more common than giant planets. The mediocrity principles state that planet like Earth should be universal in the universe, while the rare earth hypothesis says they are extremely rare.

Size is often considered an important factor, because planets the size of the Earth are probably more terrestrial and can hold the earth's atmosphere. The planetary system is a series of gravitational celestial objects orbiting a star or galaxy. Generally, planetary systems describe systems with one or more planets, although such systems may also consist of bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and the like.

According to the law of refraction, light passing from air into a piece of glass at an angle of 30 degrees will cause the light
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal.   In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium

Starting at 1.0 m/s, a cheetah runs with a constant acceleration for 4.8 s reaching a speed of 28 m/s. What is the acceleration
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

c.5.6m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial velocity of cheetah,u=1 m/s

Time taken by cheetah =4.8 s

Final velocity of cheetah,v=28 m/s

We have to find the acceleration of this cheetah.

We know that

Acceleration,a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Where v=Final velocity of object

u=Initial velocity of object

t=Time taken by object

Using the formula

Then, we get

Acceleration, a=\frac{28-1}{4.8}=\frac{27}{4.8} m/s^2

Acceleration=a=5.6 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration of cheetah=5.6m/s^2
