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.

Explain why a moving object cannot come to a stop instantaneously (in zero seconds). Hint: Think about the acceleration that wou
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>

If a particle undergoes shm with amplitude 0.21 m, what is the total distance it travels in one period?
Ymorist [56]
If a particle undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 0.21 meters, this means that the maximum displacement of the particle from its resting position is 0.21. For one period, it traveled from its starting position which is twice the amplitude and then back to its original position which is another distance that is twice the amplitude as well. Therefore, the total distance it traveled is 2*amplitude + 2*amplitude = 2*0.21 + 2*0.21 = 0.42 + 0.42 = 0.84 meters.

A suitcase (mass m = 18 kg) is resting on the floor of an elevator. The part of the suitcase in contact with the floor measures
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

P=2736 Pa

Explanation:

According to Newton we have that:

∑F=m*a\\

A force is exerted by the elevator to the suitcase, according to 3th Newton's law an equal force but in the opposite direction will appeared on the suitcase, that is:

∑F=m*g+m*a=m*(g+a)

F=205.2N

We know that the pressure is given by:

P=\frac{F}{A}\\P=\frac{205.2N}{(0.50m)*(0.15m)}\\P=2736N/m^2=2736Pa
