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.

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J

The second-order decomposition of hi has a rate constant of 1.80 x 10−3 m−1 s−1. How much hi remains after 45.6 s if the initial
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

The concentration-time equation for a second order reaction is:

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A°]

Where,

A = concentration remaining at time, t

A° = initial concentration

k = rate constant

1/[A] = (1.80 x 10^-3) * (45.6) + 1/3.81

1/[A] = 0.345

= 1/0.345

= 2.9 M.
