Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

There exist only two types of seismic waves

1) P waves

2) S waves

P waves are compression waves which is produced due to pushing and pulling. These waves can travel trough any medium i.e. Solid, Liquid or Gas and also these waves travels at high speed.

S Waves are secondary waves which travels at slow speed comparative to P waves. These waves can only travel through solid rocks and travels at slower speed with respect to P waves

So given statement is not true.

Two liquids, A and B, have equal masses and equal initial temperatures. Each is heated for the same length of time over identica

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

Explanation:

Liquid A is hotter than the liquid B after both the liquids are heated identically for the same duration of time from the same initial temperature then according to heat equation,

$Q=m.c.\Delta T$

where:

m = mass of the body

c = specific heat of the body

$\Delta T=$ change in temperature of the body

The identical heat source supplies the heat for the same amount of time then the quantity of heat supplied is also equal.

So for constant heat, constant mass the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific of heat of the liquid.

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{m} \times \frac{1}{c}$

$\Delta T\propto\frac{1}{c}$

So the specific heat of the liquid B is greater than that of A.

What would happen if brains weren't flexible

Leviafan [203]

brains need to be flexible because if they weren't we would never be able to increase our intellect. human beings are more flexible intellectually because we can turn our hands to more complex things and have the ability to learn better.
