How do P-Waves and S-Waves form?

1 answer:

6 0

P waves are produced by all earthquakes. They are compression waves that form when rocks break due to pressure in the Earth. S waves are secondary waves that are also created during an earthquake. They travel at a slower speed than the p-waves.

S waves are the waves that come after the earthquake and P waves

While filming an intense action sequence for the next James Bond movie, a controlled explosion detonates 1.1 km away from the ac

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The time that will pass between the feeling and hearing the explosion is 2,86 secs

Explanation:

First, let's calculate the time that the wave takes to travel until the actors feel the explosion:

$1,1 km*\frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} *\frac{sec}{3.000 mts} = 0,37 secs$

Now, the time that pass while the actors hear the sound is:

(Remember that the sound speed in the air is 340 m/s on average)

$1,1 km * \frac{1.000 mts}{1 km} * \frac{sec}{340 mts} = 3,23 secs$

So, the time between the feeling and hearing is 3,23 - 0,37 = 2,86 secs

During a hard stop, a car and its passengers slow down with an acceleration of 8,0m/s^2. What magnitude force does a 50-kg passe

arlik [135]

Answer:

F = 400 N

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the car, a = 8 m/s²

The mass of the passenger, m = 50 Kg

The force acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass and its acceleration

F = m x a newtons

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

F = 50 Kg x 8 m/s²

= 400 N

Hence, the force exerted by the person on the seat belt is, F = 400 N
