The correct answer is False
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.741\ \text{m/s}^2

Explanation:

v = Velocidad final = 40\ \text{km/h}=\dfrac{40}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}

u = Velocidad inicial = 0

t = Tiempo empleado = 15 s

a = Aceleración

De las ecuaciones cinemáticas tenemos

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{\dfrac{40}{3.6}-0}{15}\\\Rightarrow a=0.741\ \text{m/s}^2

La aceleración del camión en el primer intervalo de tiempo es 0.741\ \text{m/s}^2.

The increase in height as a tsunami approaches shore is due to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

A cue stick hits a cue ball with an average force of 22 N for a duration of 0.029 s. If the mass of the ball is 0.15 kg, how fas
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

Force, F = 22 N

Time, t = 0.029 s

mass, m = 0.15 kg

initial velocity of the cue ball, u = 0

Let v be the final velocity of the cue ball.

Use newton's second law

Force = rate of change on momentum

F = m (v - u) / t

22 = 0.15 ( v - 0) / 0.029

v = 4.25 m/s

Thus, the velocity of cue ball after being struck is 4.25 m/s.
