Which type of wave affects the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves on an ocean?

1 answer:

5 0

It is a seismic wave that effects the surface of the land by causing it to rise and fall like waves in an ocean. Seismic waves can be broken down into a number of different types. Specifically, it is a Raleigh surface wave that behaves much like water waves since it moves the ground up and down as it travels. Seismic waves are produced in earthquakes.

A car is moving at 10 m/s to the right. It accelerates for 10 s after which it is moving at 5 m/s to the left. What was the car'

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the car, u = 10 m/s (in right)

Final velocity of the car, v = -5 m/s (in left)

Time taken, t = 10 s

Let a is the acceleration of the car. It can be calculated using the equation of kinematics. The equation is as :

$v=u+at$

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{-5-10}{10}$

$a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-1.5\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
