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>

At a distance 30 m from a jet engine, intensity of sound is 10 W/m^2. What is the intensity at a distance 180 m?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

I_{2}=0.27 W/m^2

Explanation:

Intensity is given by the expresion:

I_{2}=Io (\frac{r1}{r2} )^{2}

where:

Io = inicial intensity

r1= initial distance

r= final distance

I_{2}=10 W/m^2 (\frac{30m}{180m} )^{2}

I_{2}=0.27 W/m^2

What is the frequency in hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute? What is its period?
Harman [31]

1333.3 is the frequency in the hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute. 0.00075 is its period.

The frequency of a repeated event is its number of instances per unit of time. In some cases, it is also referred to as temporal frequency or ordinary frequency to underline differences with spatial and angular frequencies, respectively.

The length of time it takes for a particle in a medium to complete one full vibrational cycle is the period of a wave. Being a time, a period is measured in time units like seconds, hours, days, or years. The Earth's orbit around the Sun has a duration of around 365 days, and one cycle of the Earth lasts 365 days.

frequency = cycle /second

frequency = 80000 / 60

frequency = 1333.3 hertz

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / 1,333.3

Period = 0.00075
