<span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>

How much work is done by the force lifting a

Ann [662]

The work done in lifting the hamburger is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the hamburger, given by

$W=\Delta U=mg \Delta h$

where

m=0.1 kg is the mass of the hamburger

$g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration

$\Delta h=0.3 m$ is the increase in height of the hamburger

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

$W=(0.1 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.3 m)=0.3 J$

So, the correct answer is

(3) 0.3 J
