Which of the following affects the speed of a seismic wave?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The answer is B.  composition

Explanation:

  • The speed of a seismic wave is governed by three interrelated factors, viz. the composition of the rock, pressure, and temperature.
  • Seismic waves travel at different speeds in different mediums.
  • This property of the seismic waves tends it to change the speed where the concentration of minerals in the rocks varies.
  • Other than that, the increasing temperature beneath the Earth's surface decreases the speed of the seismic waves, and the speed increases with increasing pressure as the waves go penetrating deep down into the Earth's interiors.

Define the following:
belka [17]
Define the following:
Potential energy: In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.
Kinetic energy: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Mechanical energy:
Chemical energy: chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical energy in newly formed bonds
Sound energy: In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.
Light energy: Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visible to human eyes. Light is defined as a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by hot objects like lasers, bulbs, and the sun. Light contains photons which are minute packets of energy.
Nuclear energy: Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants

If the magnetic field in a traveling EM wave has a peak value of 17.9nT, what is the peak value of the electric field strength?
Doss [256]

Answer:

5.37 N/C

Explanation:

Peak value of magnetic field, Bo = 17.9 nT = 17.9 x 10^-9 T

The electromagnetic wave is produced when an oscillating electric and magnetic field interacts each other perpendicularly.

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric and magnetic field.

the relation between the electric field and magnetic field amplitudes is given by

c = \frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}

where, c be the velocity of light, Eo be the peak value of electric field strength, Bo is the peak value of magnetic field strength.

3\times 10^{8} = \frac{E_{0}}{17.9\times 10^{-9}}}

Eo = 5.37 N/C

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
