<span>P waves 

P-waves are sometimes called pressure waves, and sometimes they are called longitudinal waves. P-waves are transmitted through the Earth’s interior with a backwards and forwards motion along the line of travel, by alternating compression and dilatation. A jack hammer creates P-waves. They are capable of passing through any type of material they encounter, including the liquid of the Earth’s outer core, although they 
will be bent and deflected when they pass across the boundaries separating 
layers of different densities. 


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

What is the Voltage of a circuit that has a resistance of 50 and a current of 2 A?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

It's actually 100V

Explanation:

To answer this, you'd need to use Ohm's law, which states that Voltage is equivalent to the product of Current and Resistance (V=IR).

V = 50 × 2

V = 100

Therefore the voltage is a 100V.

None of the answers you have listed match this though, so I'm guessing it either must be typo or the question itself is wrong.

Why must one use a reference point to determine whether or not an object is in motion
GaryK [48]
Because there's no such thing as "really" moving. 
ALL motion is always relative to something.

Here's an example:
You're sitting in a comfy cushy seat, reading a book and listening
to your .mp3 player, and you're getting drowsy.  It's so warm and
comfortable, your eyes are getting so heavy, finally the book slips
out of your hand, falls into your lap, and you are fast asleep.

-- Relative to you, the book is not moving at all.
-- Relative to the seat, you are not moving at all.
-- Relative to the wall and the window, the seat is not moving at all.
-- But your seat is in a passenger airliner.  Relative to people on the
    ground, you are moving past them at almost 500 miles per hour !
-- Relative to the center of the Earth, the people on the ground are moving
   in a circle at more than 700 miles per hour.  
-- Relative to the center of the Sun, the Earth and everything on it are moving
   in a circle at about 66,700 miles per hour ! 

How fast are they REALLY moving ?
There's no such thing.
It all depends on what reference you're using.
