Primary (P) waves<span>a type of seismic wave that involves alternating compression and expansion of the material through which it passes. 
6 to 13 kilometers per second, these waves arrive before S waves. 1.7 times faster than S waves. These waves are compressional.</span>Secondary (S) waves<span>a seismic wave that involves oscillation perpendicular to the direction of propogation. 
second to arrive and bigger amplitude than P waves. These waves are shear.</span>

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 15 m/s2. The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of planet
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

3.75m/s²

Explanation:

g= GM/r²

For planet 1

g_{1}= GM/r²                   (i)

g_{1} = 15m/s²

for planet 2

radius= 2*r= 2r

g= GM/r

g_{2}= GM/(2r)²

g_{2}= GM/4r²

g_{2}=  GM/r² *1/4

from (i)

g_{2}=  g_{1} *1/4

g_{2} = 15/4

g_{2} = 3.75m/s²

Neurons conduct electrical signals along their axons in one direction. what structure do some neurons have that increases conduc
irina1246 [14]

The myelin sheath is the structure some neurons have that increases conduction speed.

<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>

Information is transmitted via neurons. They communicate between various brain regions and between the brain and the rest of the nervous system through electrical impulses and chemical signals.

As we know,

An insulating layer of fatty tissue called the myelin sheath surrounds the axon of a neuron and speeds up the electrical signal transmission.

Thus, the myelin sheath is the structure some neurons have that increases conduction speed.

31) The head of each arrow represents the direction of each force

32) The length of each arrow represents the magnitude of each force

33) The net  force on the 1-kg object is to the left

34) To balance the forces on the object, we must add a force acting to the right

35) The acceleration of the 1-kg object is twice the acceleration of the 2-kg object

36) The magnitude of the acceleration increases, and the direction changes

Explanation:

31-32)

A free-body diagram is a diagram representing the forces acting on a body.

In a free-body diagram, each force is represented with an arrow, where:

  • The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force
  • The direction of the arrow represents the direction of the force

Therefore:

- The head of each arrow represents the direction of each force

- The length of each arrow represents the magnitude of each force

33)

In the free-body diagram of the 1-kg object, we observe that the arrow on the right is longer than the arrow on the left. This means that the force acting from the right (and therefore, acting TO the left) is stronger than the force acting from the left (which is therefore acting TO the right).

Therefore, the net force acting on the 1-kg object is to the left, since the force acting to the left is stronger.

34)

In order to balance the forces acting on the 1-kg, we should apply an additional force such that the net force acting on the object is zero.

In part 33), we said that the net force acting on the 1-kg object is to the left. Therefore, in order to produce a net force of zero, we must add another force acting to the right, in order to balance the current net force pointing to the left.

35)

First of all, by looking at the two free-body diagrams, we notice that the magnitudes of the forces acting on the 1-kg and 2-kg objects are the same. This means that the net force acting on the two objects is the same.

Now we can apply Newton's second law of motion to the two cases; the law states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where \sum F is the net force, m is the mass, a is the acceleration

For the object of 1-kg, we have:

\sum F = m_1 a_1

where m_1 = 1 kg

For the object of 2-kg, we have:

\sum F = m_2 a_2

where m_2 = 2 kg

We said that the net force on the two objects is the same, so we can combine the two equations:

m_1 a_1 = m_2 a_2\\(1 kg)a_1 = (2 kg)a_2\\\rightarrow a_1 = 2a_2

Therefore, the acceleration of the 1-kg object is twice the acceleration of the 2-kg object.

36)

If an upward force is applied to the 1-kg object, the acceleration will increase in magnitude and it will change in direction.

In fact, let's call F_x the total net force acting in the horizontal direction on the 1-kg object. Let's call F_y the upward additional force applied. This means that now the object will have two components of the acceleration:

a_x, horizontally (to the left)

a_y, vertically (upward)

So, the magnitude of the net acceleration will be

a=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2}

which is larger than the original acceleration (a_x). Also, since there is a component of the acceleration in the vertical direction, the final direction of the acceleration a will be between left and upward.

In a double slit experiment, the intensity of light at the center of the central bright fringe is measured to be 6.2 µW/m2. What
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

   I_FWHW = 3.2 μW / m²

Explanation:

In the analysis of optics and electricity a very useful magnitude is the width at half height (FWHW) and the intensity at this height, which is given by

               I_FWHW = I₀ / 2

corresponds to the width of the line for this intensity.

In this case they give the maximum intensity for which

               I_FWHW = 6.2 / 2

               I_FWHW = 3.2 μW / m²

You do not give more data in your exercise, but the most interesting calculation is to find the angle values ​​for which you have this intensity since it is this range is 50% of the energy of the system, have I write the equation for this calculation

             I = Io cos² x₁   (sin x / x)²

             x₁ = π d sin θ /λ

             x = π b sin θ /λ

where d is the separation of the slits and b the width of each slit
