<u>Two or more velocities are added up by</u><u> vector addition method. </u>

Further Explanation:

The velocity is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a unit that required the magnitude as well as the direction for its representation.

The velocity of a body is defined as the rate of change of displacement of the body in a particular direction. Since the velocity consists of the magnitude and the direction both, the simple method of addition cannot be applied for its addition.

The vector addition of the velocities comprise of the resultant magnitude of velocity as the angle made by the resultant.

The resultant magnitude of the velocity is given as:

\boxed{{v_r} = \sqrt {v_x^2 + v_y^2} }  

Here, {v_r} is the resultant magnitude and {v_x}\,\& \,{v_y} are the components of velocities in x and y directions.

The angle made by the resultant velocity is given by:

\boxed{\theta  = {{\tan }^{ - 1}}\dfrac{{{v_y}}}{{{v_x}}}}  

Thus, the addition of two or more velocities takes place by the vector addition method.

By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

Earthquakes typically occur
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

<h3><u><em>Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. ... When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.</em></u></h3>

2. A 2.5 meter-long wave travels at 1 m/s towards a fixed boundary. After 2 seconds, how does the wave appear?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Since incident wave and its reflected part in opposite phase superimpose on each other

So correct answer will be

Option B

Explanation:

Here we know that the wave reflection is done by rigid boundary

So when wave is reflected by the boundary then its phase is reversed by 180 degree

so the reflected wave is in reverse phase from the boundary

so we can superimpose the reflected part with incident wave to dine the resultant wave

So the phenomenon is given as follow

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.
Novay_Z [31]
It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is  43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
