Hey there!

<span>Scientists know that seismic waves can be either compressional or transverse because there are horizontal and vertical movements during an earthquake. Horizontal movements are compressional while vertical movements are transverse.

Thank you!</span>

Path 2.

Displacement is the direction and magnitude of an object from its starting point, so path 2 is the direct route you would need to take to find direction and magnitude.

The magnetising current in a transformer is rich in ______________ harmonic?

sukhopar [10]

The magnetizing current in a transformer is rich in 3rd harmonic. This is because harmonics are AC voltages and currents with frequencies that are generally higher.

MRU(movimiento rectilineo uniforme) un movil viaja en linea recta con una velocidad media de 12metros /segundos durante 9segundo

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) 141.6m

b) 8.4m/s

Explanation:

a) to find the total displacement you use the following formula for each trajectory. Next you sum the results:

$x_1=v_1t_1=(12m/s)(9s)=108m\\\\x_2=v_2t_2=(4.8m/s)(7s)=33.6m\\\\x_T=x_1+x_2=108m+33.6m=141.6m$

hence, the total distance is 141.6m

b) the mean velocity of the total trajectory is given by:

$v_m=\frac{v_1+v_2}{2}=\frac{12m/s+4.8m/s}{2}=8.4\frac{m}{s}$

hence, the mean velocity is 8.4 m/s
