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.

ddd [48]

Answer:

1626.4 N

Explanation:

Given that a 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching the water. What force does the water exert on him?

The parameters to be considered are:

Distance S = 3m

Time t = 0.55s

Since the man started from rest, initial velocity u = 0

Using second equation of motion

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.55^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.3025

a = 3/ 0.15125

a = 19.83 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 82 × 19.83

Force = 1626.4 N

Therefore, the force that water exerted on him is 1626.4 N

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 1.70 mm. A 21
Inga [223]

Answer:

12353 V m⁻¹ = 12.4 kV m⁻¹

Explanation:  

Electric field between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor depends on the potential difference across the plates and their distance of separation.Potential difference across the plates V over the distance between the plates gives the electric field between the plates. Potential difference is the amount of work done per unit charge and is given here as 21 V. Electric field is the voltage over distance.

E = V ÷ d = 21 ÷ 0.0017 = 12353 V m⁻¹

Scott needs to determine the density of a metallic rod. First, he should determine the mass of his sample on the laboratory balance. Second, he should measure the volume of his sample by water displacement. Finally, he can calculate the density by dividing mass/volume. 
Hope this helped ;)

Two advantages of solar energy over energy from Fossil fuels​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1)Fuel Sourcing

2)Power Generation

Explanation:

1)Fuel Sourcing : Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.

2)Power Generation: Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

group 17 is called halogens family, and the group to the right is called the noble gases. How are these elements alike and how a
Verdich [7]
Similarities:
The halogens like noble gases are gaseous im nature. Example,
Chlorine, bromine are halogens and argon , xenon are noble gases.
Both are non-metals.

Differences: Halogens are very reactive because their octet needs only one electron tk complete. But, the nobles gases are quite stable and unreactive because the have complete octets.
