Which statement is true for particles of the medium of an earth quake p wave

1 answer:

8 0

I am pretty sure that the only statement which is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know, it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

$v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)$

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, $v$ , is $\frac 12 m v^2$

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is $mgh$ [where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)$

and the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii)$ .

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, $\frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2$

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.

Discuss whether any work is being done by each of the following agents and, if so, whether the work is positive or negative: (a)

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

W = F. r

bold letters indicate vectors, we can write this expression as a module

W= F r cos θ

where is at the angle between force and displacement.

Let's apply this expression to the different cases

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

What region of the spectrum best corresponds to light with a wavelength equal to:_____ a. The diameter of a hydrogen atomb. The

zavuch27 [327]

We will make the comparison between each of the sizes against the known wavelengths.

In the case of the <em>hydrogen atom</em>, we know that this is equivalent to $10^{-10}$ m on average, which corresponds to the wavelength corresponding to X-rays.

In the case of the <em>Virus</em> we know that it is oscillating in a size of 30nm to 200 nm, so the size of the virus is equivalent to the range of the wavelength of an ultraviolet ray.

In the case of <em>height</em>, it fluctuates in a person around $10 ^ 0$ to $10 ^ 1$ m, which falls to the wavelength of a radio wave.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in

DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁ - f =0

F₁ =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁ = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.
