Answer:

b. P waves

Explanation:

A P-wave is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph. P-waves may be transmitted through gases, liquids, or solids. Primary waves are alternatingly compressional and extensional, and cause the rocks they pass through to change in volume. These waves are the fastest traveling seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Also called P wave. See Note at earthquake. P Waves are compressional which means they move through (compress) a solid or liquid by pushing or pulling similar to the way sound travels through the air. The particles of the material a P Wave pushes through move in the direction of the P wave's energy.

Un cuerpo recibe una fuerza de 100N y produce una aceleracion de 2 m/s² determine la masa del cuerpo
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The mass of the body is 50 kg.

Explanation:

We have,

Force acting on a body is 100 N

Acceleration of the body is 2 m/s²

It is required to find the mass of the body. The force acting on a body is given by :

F = ma

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{100}{2}\\\\m=50\ kg

So, the mass of the body is 50 kg.

Amazon has hired you to help design a new fleet of robots to work in their warehouse. You are trying to decide how powerful the
solmaris [256]

The minimum power is 490 W

Explanation:

The work that needs to be done by the robot in order to climb the shelves is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the robot + object, therefore:

W=mg \Delta h

where

m = 15 kg + 5 kg = 20 kg is the total mass of the system

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 20 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(20)(9.8)(20)=3,920 J

Now we can calcualte the power (wattage) that the robot must have, using the equation

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 3,920 J is the work done

t = 8 s is the time interval

Substituting,

P=\frac{3920}{8}=490 W
