The separation in time between the arrival of primary and secondary waves is

1 answer:

3 0

The separation in time between the arrival of primary and secondary wave is called LAG TIME.
The time difference between the arrival of primary wave and secondary wave in a seismogram is called lag time. The primary wave always travels faster than the secondary wave, thus the difference between the two can be obtained by estimating the difference between the arrival time of the two waves/.

Light rays bend as they pass from air into water at an angle (not 90 degrees). this is refraction. air water normal incident ray

xxTIMURxx [149]

When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.

Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.

How to find aceleration

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}$

Explanation:

Formula for AVERAGE acceleration

$a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}$

$v_{f}$ is Final Velocity

$v_{i}$ is Initial Velocity

$t_{f}$ is Final Time

$t_{i}$ is Initial Time

Most of the time, the initial time will be 0, so you won't have to subtract.

Energy Transformation

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2$

Calculating:

K =400000 J

Compare and Contrast the two main branches of physical science. How are they the same? How are they different?

nignag [31]

Physics
Chemistry

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

Hope this helps you!!!

After Moseley's discovery in 1913, the periodic law stated that physical and chemical properties tend to repeat periodically whe

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

Before Moseley's discovery in 1913, In Mendeleev's periodic table the elements rearranged with increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev was not able to locate hydrogen atom and late isotopes found violate Mendeleev table. The biggest drawback was that the atomic mass was not regular when moving one element to another.

But Moseley's arranged element in the periodic table with increasing atomic number.
