What are the 4 rules of seismic waves?

1 answer:

3 0

"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."

Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2 potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2

v = 10.8 m/s

In a swimming meet, the swimmers swim a total of 8 laps of a 50-meter-long swimming pool. What is the distance traveled by a swi

N76 [4]

Answer:

The swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

Explanation:

A lap is a round trip made by a swimmer in the pool, so that the distance traveled by swimmer is sixteen times the length of the swimming pool. That is:

$s = \left(2\,\frac{travels}{lap} \right)\cdot \left(8\,laps \right)\cdot \left(50\,\frac{m}{travel}\right)$

$s = 800\,m$

A swimmer has a distance traveled of 800 meters.

The displacement is the distance between swimmer and a reference point, let suppose that reference point is located at the beginning of the first lap. Hence, the final displacement of the swimmer is 0 meters.

An airplane has an effective wing surface area of 19.4 m2 that is generating the lift force. In level flight the air speed over

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

W =23807.68 N

Explanation:

given,

surface area of wing = 19.4 m²

speed over top wing = 67 m/s

speed under wing = 51 m/s

density of air = 1.3 kg/m³

weight of plane

From Bernoulli's principle

$P_1 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho_2^2$

where 1 and 2 are two different locations at the same geo potential level

so if we call 1 the lower surface and 2 the upper surface,

we find the pressure differential, P₁ -P₂

$\Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.3 \times (67^2-51^2)$

$\Delta P =1227.2\ N/m^2$

then the force acting on the plane is

F=P A

F=1227.2 x 19.4

F =23807.68 N

weight of the plane

W =23807.68 N

Which device converts electrical energy into kinetic energy?

andriy [413]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Electric motor

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Energy is the ability to do work. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.
Changing energy from one form to another is done by devices we call transducers. These are elements that convert energy from one form to another.
In this case, electrical motor is an example of a transducer that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. Electrical energy is supplied to a the motor which converts it to rotational energy or mechanical energy then to kinetic energy.
