I am pretty sure that the only statement which is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know, it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.

The statement is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is :
They vibrate in a direction parallel to that of the wave, forming compression and rarefaction
P-waves can be produced by earthquakes and recorded by seismographs.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as $mgh=0.5mv^{2}$ since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then $v=\sqrt {2gh}$ and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that $v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s$

How would you describe the motion of all three vehicles?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:In physics, motion is defined as a change in the position of a body with respect to a reference point. ... Think about the motion of three cars: one in the fast-moving carpool lane, another in the middle lane, and the third in the slow lane used to enter or exit the freeway.

Describe a car's velocity as it goes around a track at a constant speed

igor_vitrenko [27]

If the car is going at constant speed than the velocity isnt changing, only the direction of velocity.

Can anyone please help me with the steps

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) v_average = - 10 km / h, B) v = 1.6 m / s, v = 17.6 m / s

Explanation:

A) the average speed is the average speed of a body, if we assume that the direction of going up the hill is positive

v₁ = 40 km / h

v₂ = - 60 km / h

the average speed is

v_average = $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$

v_average = ( 40 - 60)/2

v_average = - 10 km / h

B) in this case they indicate the acceleration a = 3.2 m / s² and the velocity vo = 9.6 m / s

i) the speed for 2.5 s above

v = v₀ + a t

as the time is earlier

t = - 2.5 s

we substitute

v = 9.6 - 3.2 2.5

v = 1.6 m / s

ii) the velocity for a subsequent time of 2.5 s

t = 2.5 s

we substitute

v = 9.6 + 3.2 2.5

v = 17.6 m / s
