An object at rest increases its velocity to 10m/s in 3 seconds. What is its acceleration

Physics

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning).

Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (zero) = 10 m/s

Time for the change = 3 sec

Acceleration = (10 m/s) / (3 sec)

<em>Acceleration = (3 and 1/3) m/s²</em>  or 3.333 m/s²

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

What is the force required accelerate a 5.0 kg object at 3.0m/s^ 2?
NeX [460]
The equation to find force is f=ma. So, if you plug in the information that you have you'll get F=5x3 and that'll equal F=15N
