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

Physics

katen-ka-za [31]3 years ago
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.

The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N

Explanation:

The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation

F=mg (1)

where

m is the mass of the astronaut

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance r from the centre of the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, r=R (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=640 N

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

r'=3R+R=4R

Therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{GMm}{(4R)^2}=\frac{1}{16}\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{F}{16}

Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{640}{16}=40 N

marishachu [46]
The waste products of a nuclear fission power plant can best be described as radioactive waste. 
These are the by-products from the processes carried out that produce nuclear energy. This type of waste is highly dangerous. A lot of attention has to be paid to the collection and disposal of this waste as it must not reach any near by water bodies for example. It can be deadly for life.
