Rocks within Earth both expand and contract as P waves pass

Explanation:

Rocks within the earth both expands and contracts as P-waves passes through them. P-waves are elastic waves.

  • Elastic waves behaves in such a way that they do not cause permanent deformation of rocks.
  • They can be said to cause elastic deformation when they travel through rocks.
  • They simply temporarily expand and contract the rock within a short period by causing the vibration of particles of the medium.
  • After a short while, the rock returns back to its original position as if nothing has happened to it.
  • These elastic waves are better called seismic waves.
  • P-waves are primary waves that can travel through any medium.

The force required to stretch a Hooke’s-law spring varies from 0 N to 63.5 N as we stretch the spring by moving one end 5.31 cm
Alika [10]

Answer:

Force constant will be 1195.85 N/m

Work done will be 1.6859 J

Explanation:

We have given the force,  F = 63.5 N

Spring is stretched by 5.31 cm

So x = 0.0531 m

Force is given , F = 63.5 N

We know that force is given by F=kx

So 63.5=k\times 0.0531

k = 1195.85 N/m

Now we have to find the work done

We know that work done is given by

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 1195.85\times 0.0531^2=1.6859J

One difference between a solar flare and a CME is that a solar flare is composed of ___________, while a CME is composed of ____
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

magnetic energy (proton) and magnetic plasma.

Explanation:

  • The solar fare consists of bright light that occurs in various wavelengths and is observed at the surface.
  • They are not as strong as compared to the coronal mass ejection or CME. The solar fares consist of 10²² joules, while the plasma is ejected from the solar corona and can be clearly seen from a distance.
  • The Solar flares represent an atmospheric disturbance and plasms are the medium for the growth and development of solar flare and lead to solar activity.
