How do S and P waves move through a solid material?

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

P waves move quickly and S waves move slowly through solids,

Explanation:

S and P waves can move through a solid material. P waves generally moves quickly and S-waves move slowly through solids.

S and P waves elastic seismic waves.

  • P waves are primary waves travels through any material medium. They move faster than S-waves.
  • S waves are secondary waves that moves through solid only. They are shear waves.
  • They cannot move through liquids and gases because these materials cannot be sheared.

At a seismic station, P waves arrives first because they have a higher velocity

why was the mass lost when the reaction was done in the normal setup but stayed the same when it was done in the gas collection
german
<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.

In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was  lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.

One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.

is there a relationship between the relative age of stars in the number/identity of element is found within them
lukranit [14]

Yes. Stars use fusion to create nuclear energy, which is what makes them "alive". The older they are, the "bigger" the element in them is. Hydrogen turns into Helium, and when hydrogen is used up, the helium starts fusing into bigger elements. it stops at iron however. Once stars start fusing silicon to iron, it is doomed because it takes more energy than it gives off.
