Answer:d. Ground waves

Explanation:A P-wave is one of the two main types of seismic waves. 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

Answer:

The correct options are A and C.

Explanation :

When there is a sudden release of energy due to earthquake or any type of explosion inside the earth, then this energy is transferred in the form of waves called Seismic Waves.

Seismograph helps us to measure these waves. These seismic waves can be categorized as Body Waves and Surface Wave.

Body Waves propagate inside the earth in all directions, and are further classified as Primary Waves (P-Waves) and Secondary Waves (S-Waves).The Surface Waves move along the earth’s surface, like the ripples on water surface.

A metal sample of mass M requires a power input P to just remain molten. When the heater is turned off, the metal solidifies in

vovangra [49]

Answer:

L = Pt/M

Explanation:

Power, P= Q/t = mL/t

we know that, (Q=m×l)

Now ⇒l= Pt/M

Thus l= Pt/M

a 3 kg piece of putty that is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides and sticks to an 8 kg bowling ball that was at rest. wha

defon

The final velocity is 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

where:

$m_1 = 3 kg$ is the mass of the putty

$u_1 = 10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the putty (we take its direction as positive direction)

$m_2 = 8 kg$ is the mass of the ball

$u_2 = 0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the ball (at rest)

$v$ is the final combined velocity of the two putty+ball

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the final combined velocity:

$v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(3)(10)+0}{3+8}=2.7 m/s$

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the putty.

In young’s double slit experiment, the measured fringe width is 0.5 mm for a Sodium light of 589 nm at a distance of 1.5 m. A br

Levart [38]

Answer:

(A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}$

$m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}$

$m=5.65 = 6$

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

$\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}$

$\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m$

$\beta=3.33\ \mu m$

Hence, (A). The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

13. 14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.
