Which waves can travel only through solids?

Physics
1 answer:
Molodets [167]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

S- waves

Explanation:

S- waves are known as secondary waves or shear waves. They only propagate through solid medium only.

S- waves are elastic seismic waves that propagates transversely moving materials perpendicularly along their direction. In the process, they cause shearing. Only solids have enough shear strength to withstand the movement of s-waves without getting altered. Liquids and gases cannot shear and would not allow s-waves to propagate through them.

Seven

The magnitude is pointing towards the origin and is at - 20 degrees. The combination makes 160 with the x axis: C answer

Eight

They keep doing this. They use distance where they should use displacement but they use distance to try and fool you. It's a mighty poor practice.

The distance between the start and end points is the displacement. That "distance" is 180*sqrt(25) = 900 . The actual distance should be 180*4 + 180*3 = 720 + 540 = 1260. That's what a car's odometer or a bicycle odometer would read.  the difference is 360.

I really do object to the wording, but what can I do?

Nine

Nine is the same thing as 8.

Displacement = sqrt(400^2 + 80^2)= sqrt(166400) = 408

The actual distance is 400 + 80 = 480

The difference is the answer = 480 - 408 = 72 <<<< Answer

Ten

This is just the displacement magnitude.

dis = sqrt(30^2 + 80^2)

dis = sqrt(900 + 6400)

dis = sqrt(7300)

dis = 85.44 <<<< Answer D

Twelve

Vi =  2.15*Sin(30) = 1.075 m/s

vf = 0

a = - 9.81

t = ?

<u>Formula</u>

a = (vf - vi)/t

<u>Solve</u>

-9.81 =  (0 - 1.075)/t

- 9.81 * t = -1.075

t = 0.11 seconds

Thirteen

I'm leaving this last one to you. You need the initial height xo to answer it properly. Judging by the other questions, this one is right.

Edit

That is a surprise! Really quickly

d = 3.2 m

a = - 9.82

vf = 0

vi = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2*a*d

0 = vi^2 - 2*9.81*3.2

vi = sqrt(19.62*3.2)

vi = 8.0  m/s   But that is the vertical component of the speed

v = vi/sin(25)

v = 8.0/sin(25) = 11

Electrical power companies sell electrical energy
mixer [17]

Heat used by electric heater :

Q = m • c • ∆T

Q = (75 kg)(4200 J/kg°C)(43°C - 15°C)

Q = 8.82 × 10⁶ J

Cost of electrical energy :

Cost = (8.82 × 10⁶ J)/(3.6 × 10⁶ J) • ($ 0.15)

Cost = $ 0.3675

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law spring varies from 0 N to 63.5 N as we stretch the spring by moving one end 5.31 cm
Alika [10]

Answer:

Force constant will be 1195.85 N/m

Work done will be 1.6859 J

Explanation:

We have given the force,  F = 63.5 N

Spring is stretched by 5.31 cm

So x = 0.0531 m

Force is given , F = 63.5 N

We know that force is given by F=kx

So 63.5=k\times 0.0531

k = 1195.85 N/m

Now we have to find the work done

We know that work done is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1195.85\times 0.0531^2=1.6859J

How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?
dezoksy [38]
The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.

For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of
natali 33 [55]

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>
