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.

A crane is used to lower weights into a lake for an underwater construction project. Determine the tension in the cable of the c
atroni [7]

Answer:

Tension in the cable = 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

Explanation:

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Weight of object in air = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

Since mass is not given, it is obtained from the formula, mass = density * volume

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³ where r, radius = 2 m; π = 22/7

volume = 4/3 * 22/7 * (2m)³

volume of sphere = 33.52 m³

Density of concrete sphere = specific gravity * density of water

where, specific gravity = 2.8, density of water = 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete =  2.8 * 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete = 2800 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Thus, weight of concrete = 2800 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 919788.8 N

Upthrust = density of water * volume of sphere * g

Upthrust = 1000 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 328496 N

The tension in the cable is the calculated as below;

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Tension in cable = 919788.8 N - 328.496 N = 591292.8 N

Therefore, tension in the cable is 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

.A particle starts on the origin. It is pushed back to -5.7 m in 2.1 s. Then it is pushed
harina [27]

Answer: The average velocity is -0.965m/s

Explanation: The first step is to calculate the two velocities is both directions. A velocity is a distance per unit time.

V=d/ t

=-5.7/2.1

=-2.7m/s

For the other direction the velocity is

V=7.3/9.5

=0.77m/s

The average velocity the add the velocities and divide them by 2.

V=-2.7+0.77/2

V= 0.965m/s

You are a crewman on a pirate ship. You are in a battle with the Royal Navy of England. You have loaded your cannon, which is no
Brut [27]

Answer:

Conservation of momentum - causes a recoil of cannon frame after launch

Explanation:

- It is simple, we can apply the conservation of momentum on the system. Initial momentum P_i before shooting is zero. Then after you strike the cannon up, the ball will go to the target however for the momentum to be conserved the cannon frame must move backwards with the same momentum with which the cannon ball is launched.

Hence, the recoil of the cannon frame would be large enough to dislodge you off the ground and throw you a few feet back.
