When earthquakes produce vibrations called waves, how do those waves travel? They ripple from the epicenter of the earthquake. T

hey move back and forth and side to side through water. They travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions. They move slowly and increase in intensity as they reach Earth's surface.

Answer: They travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions.

Explanation:

The vibrations produced by Earthquake are called seismic waves. seismic waves travel from the point where fault occurs. The maximum intensity is about the focus of the fault. These waves travel away from the focus in all directions.

Seismic waves are both transverse (S waves) and longitudinal (P waves). The P and S waves can travel through the Earth where as the surface waves travel above or near the Earth's surface.

found the potential spring energy. not sure how to find the height of the block by knowing only the mass. found the weight of it
evablogger [386]

(h + .16) m g = 1/2 k x^2   total PE of block relative to where it stops

(h + .16) .82 * 9.8 = .5 * 120 * .16^2    PE released = PE of  spring

8.04 h + 1.29 = 1.536

h = (1.536 - 1.29) / 8.04 = .031 m = 3.1 cm

Why can biofuels be described as renewable resources?​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Biofuel is fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than by the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil. Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel directly, some people use the terms biomass and biofuel interchangeably. 

Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass—that is, plant or algae material or animal waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas.

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

I = mR^2/2

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J

where m_b = 3 kg is the mass of block

3*9.8h = 22176.18

h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m

The dimensions of the disk of our milky way galaxy are:.
Katen [24]

Answer:

According to studies, the milky way is approximately, "170,000–200,000 light-years (52–61 kpc) in diameter and, on average, approximately 1,000 ly (0.3 kpc) thick."

With that being said, it is safe to say that the dimensions are somewhere around 100,000 by 1,000

A table exerts a 4.0 Newton force on a book which lies at rest on its top. The force exerted by the book on the table is
SOVA2 [1]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. <span>The force exerted by the book on the table is equal to the force exerted by the table which is 4.0 N. The book does not move so it must be that the forces are balanced. Hope this answers the question.</span>
