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.

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?
AlekseyPX
When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

A rock is thrown upward from the level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight is equal to its horizontal ran
marshall27 [118]

Answer

a) For the rock

\dfrac{v_t^2sin 2\theta}{g} = \dfrac{v_t^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

2sin\thetacos\theta = \dfrac{sin^2\theta}{2}

2cos\theta = \dfrac{sin\theta}{2}

tan\theta = 4

\theta = tan^{-1} 4

\theta = 76^0

b) \theta = 45^0 for maximum range

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{(v_tcos 45^0)(2v_tsin 45^0)g}{(v_tcos 76^0)(2v_tsin 76^0)g}

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=\dfrac{0.707\times 0.707)}{0.97\times 0.242}

\dfrac{d_{max}}{d}=2.129

d_{max}=2.129 d

c) The value of θ is the same on every planet as g divides out.

Slope or velocit ime graph represent
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

The slope of the velocity-time graph illustrates the change in velocity with respect to change in time.

In other words, the acceleration of the object is defined by the slope of a velocity graph. The acceleration can be obtained by finding the slope at a particular time.

Hence, the slope of the velocity time graph represent represents acceleration.

2. Also the acceleration of any object, like a car or bike, at some discrete instant in time 't' is termed as instantaneous acceleration which can be determined if we may take the derivate of the given velocity function.

3. A vector that has a direction and magnitude of 1 is termed as a unit vector, often called a direction vector.
