The answer is D. If you aren't consistent with your drop positions, then your data may be invalid. To be frank: it basically screws over the experiment.
Answer:
Primary waves (P-waves)
Explanation:
Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.
<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>
- body waves
- surface waves
Body waves are of two types:
Primary waves (P-waves)
These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.
They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.
Secondary waves (S-waves)
They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.
As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.
Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)
- These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
- They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
- Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.
Answer:
Explanation:
ignoring air resistance, the kinetic energy at water impact will equal the potential energy converted
½mv² = mgh
v = √(2gh)
v = √(2(9.81)2.1) = 6.4188... m/s
after impact, an impulse will result in a change of momentum.
There is a downward impulse due to gravity equal to the weight of the stone and an upward average force due to water resistance and buoyancy force.
FΔt = mΔv
(F - mg)Δt = m(vf - vi)
(F - mg) = m(vf - vi)/Δt
F = m(vf - vi)/Δt + mg
F = m((vf - vi)/Δt + g)
F = 1.05(((½(-6.4188) - -6.4188)/ 1.83) + 9.81)
F = 12.14198...
F = 12.1 N
Answer: A and B
Explanation:
Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.
They did not require material medium for their propagation.
The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.
