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.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

$F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}$
