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>

I'm not really sure how to go about creating the equation, can anyone help me?
AlexFokin [52]
The displacement vector (SI units) is
\vec{r} =At\hat{i}+A[t^{3}-6t^{2}]\hat{j}

The speed is a scalar quantity. Its magnitude is
v= \sqrt{A^{2}t^{2}+A^{2}(t^{3}-6t^{2})^{2}} \\ v=A \sqrt{t^{2}+t^{6}-12t^{5}+36t^{4}} \\ v=At \sqrt{t^{4}-12t^{3}+36t^{2}+1}

Answer: At√(t⁴ - 12t³ + 36t² + 1)

Which resultant force is NOT possible if 50 N force and a 60 N force act concurrently?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Suppose the case where the forces act in opposite directions, then we need to subtract the forces, and we know that the magnitude of the resultant force will be:

60N - 50N = 10N

Now, suppose the case where both forces act in the exact same direction, in that case, we will add the forces to get:

60N + 50N = 110N

Then the only range of forces that we can get in this system, are the forces such:

10N ≤ F ≤ 110N

Any resultant force outside that range is not possible in this situation.

A tank with a flat bottom is filled with water to a height of 4 meters. What is the pressure at any point at the bottom of the t
Mariulka [41]

<u>Answer</u>

C.39.2 kPa


<u>Explanation</u>

The pressure in liquids depend on the depth or what we call the liquid column(h), the density of the liquid(σ) and the the acceleration due to gravity(g).

h = 4.00 m

σ = 1000 Kg/m³

g = 9.8m/s²


Pressure Is given by;

P = σgh

= 1000 × 9.8 × 4

= 39200 Pa

=39.2 KPa
