Answer:

The wave moves with compression and rarefaction alternately.

Explanation:

p waves are longitudinal waves and we know that longitudinal waves have vibrations parallel to its direction of motion. In one region where the particles comes closer is known as compression and region where the particles move farther from each other, is known as rarefaction. p waves travel through soil and rock as sequence of rarefaction and compression alternately.

Directions: Read the following excerpts carefully, then identify whether they employ informative, persuasive, or argumentative w
Savatey [412]

Hi there!

Informative writing has the intent to inform or educate us on a particular topic or event. It gives us more information and insight onto something.

Persuasive writing has the intent of convincing us to believe in a certain idea or to perform a certain action. For instance, advertisements have a persuasive intent; they are persuading us to buy a product or service.

Argumentative writing is similar to persuasive writing in the sense that they are persuading us to believe a certain idea. However, they are often based on logic and fact rather than opinions.

Let's look at the first excerpt.

<em>This morning at 9 a.m., a school bus collided with a car at the intersection of Osmena and Cabrera streets. The passengers were not injured, but the medical personnel checked each student as well as the driver before they were transported to their school.</em>

This text doesn't try to convince us in believing something. It doesn't argue anything and it only tries to give us more insight onto the event, which is a car accident. No opinions are stated and only events are given.

Therefore, this excerpt uses an informative writing technique.

diamong [38]

In the first direct detection of gravitational waves by LIGO in 2015, the waves came from the merger of two black holes. Option B is correct. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are gravitational waves?</h3>

A gravitational wave is simply defined as a ripple in space that is unseen though extremely rapid. Gravitational waves move at light speed. As they pass past, these waves compress and stretch everything in their path.

In conclusion, the merger of two black holes is the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

A psychologist is interested in exploring the effect tutorial support on students academic performance and assign students in to
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The dependent variable is academic performance

The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support

The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.

The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support

Explanation:

In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.

The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.

The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.

The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
