Suppose an earthquake occurs on an imaginary planet. Scientists on the other side of the planet detect primary waves but not sec

ondary waves after the quake. This suggests that:________.
a. part of the planet's interior is liquid
b. all of the planet's interior is solid
c. the planet has an iron core
d. the planet's interior consists entirely of rocky materials
e. the planet's mantle is liquid

Answer:

a. part of the planet's interior is liquid

Explanation:

Seismic waves are slowed down in a liquid medium. On earth, molten areas reduces the speed of P waves and completely stops S waves which have shearing motion that can only be transmitted through a solid

The motion has the highest speed in materials, allowing it to be detected first on seismograms. The P wave is has a smaller wavelength and a higher frequency than the surface ans the S waves.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 14.5 mi long and 4.78 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies
taurus [48]

Angular speed must such a cylinder have so that the centripetal acceleration at its surface equals the free-fall acceleration on Earth is 0.0466 rad/s.

Length of the cylinder, L = 9 mi

= (14.5mi)(1609.344 m / 1 mi)

= 23,335.48 m

Diameter of the cylinder, D = 4.78 mi

= (4.78 mi)(1609.344 m / 1 mi)

= 7692.645 m

Radius of the cylinder, r = D / 2

= ( 7692.645 m) / 2

=  3846.32 m

Centripetal acceleration is given by, ac = v^2 / r

We have the relation between linear velocity (v) and the angular velocity(ω) as

 v = r ω

Then, ac = v2 / r

= (rω)2 / r

ac = ω^2 r

If the centripetal acceleration is equals the free fall acceleration of earth, then

ω^2 r = g

ω=0.0466 rad/s

  • Angular acceleration is the term used to describe the rate of change in angular velocity. If the angular velocity is constant, the angular acceleration is constant.

During its lifespan, what characteristics of the sun will change
4vir4ik [10]
During its lifepsan, the sun's core would keep contracting and heating up.

The temperature will keep increasing to the point where the temperature outside the core will get to hydrogen fusion temperatures.
The sun will grow in surface and eventually became the Red Giant

A 1.00 kg block of ice, at -25.0°C, is warmed by 35 kJ of energy. What is the final temperature of the ice?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

-8.4°C

Explanation:

From the principle of heat capacity.

The heat sustain by an object is given as;

H = m× c× (T2-T1)

Where H is heat transferred

m is mass of substance

T2-T1 is the temperature change from starting to final temperature T2.

c- is the specific heat capacity of ice .

Note : specific heat capacity is an intrinsic capacity of a substance which is the energy substained on a unit mass of a substance on a unit temperature change.

Hence ; 35= 1× c× ( T2-(-25))

35= c× ( T2+25)

35 =2.108×( T2+25)

( T2+25)= 35/2.108= 16.60°{ approximated to 2 decimal place}

T2= 16.60-25= -8.40°C

C, specific heat capacity of ice is =2.108 kJ/kgK{you can google that}
