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, <span> it can be formed in two ways : from alternating </span>compressions<span> and </span>rarefactions<span> or </span><span>primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.</span>

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.

Answer:

v = 5.15 m/s

Explanation:

At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N

As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.

7730 = 984(9.81 - a)

a = 1.95 m/s²

kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at

-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²

u = 2.65 m/s    the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s

v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)

v = -5.15 m/s

A spherical snowball melts at a rate proportional to its surface area. (a) write a differential equation for its volume, v. (use
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of change in volume is proportional to the surface area:

dV/dt = kA

Integrating:

V = kAt + C

At t=0, V = s, so:

s = kA(0) + C

C = s

Therefore:

V = kAt + s

A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will
Aleks [24]

Answer:

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

The mass of the child

The initial angle

Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.
