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.

An object with a mass of 70 kilograms is supported at a height 8 meters above the ground. What's the potential energy of the obj
Fofino [41]
The potential energy of an object is defined as the energy it harnesses as a result of the downwards pull of gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is equivalent to 9.8 m/s^2. Potential energy can be calculated using the formula: PE = mgz

where:
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
z = height

Therefore, for this problem, the PE = 70(9.8)(8) = 5488 Joules

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.60 m/s. How
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Efriction = 768.23 [kJ]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Where it tells us that the energy of a system plus the work applied or performed by that system, will be equal to the energy in the final state. We have two states the initial at the time of the balloon jump and the final state when the parachutist lands.

We must identify the types of energy in each state, in the initial state there is only potential energy, since the reference level is in the ground, at the reference point the potential energy is zero. At the time of landing the parachutist will only have potential energy, since it reaches the reference level.

The friction force acts in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore it will have a negative sign.

E_{pot}-E_{friction}=E_{kin}

where:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

m = mass = 56 [kg]

h = elevation = 1400 [m]

v = velocity = 5.6 [m/s]

(56*9.81*1400)-E_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}*56*(5.6)^{2}\\769104 -E_{friction}= 878.08 \\E_{friction}=769104-878.08\\E_{friction}=768226[J] = 768.23 [kJ]
