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

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

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
Rasek [7]

Answer:

t = 4.17 [s]

Explanation:

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]

In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

w = 14.7*9.81

w = 144.2 [N]

Therefore the work can be calculated.

W = w*d

W = 144.2*63.4

W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)

Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 2190 [W]

t = time [s]

Now clearing t, we have.

t = W/P

t = 9142.72/2190

t = 4.17 [s]

Class characteristics serve as corroboration for other, more subjective pieces of evidence in a courtroom (like witness testimon
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Class characteristics can be define as the features which are common to the group of objects. Like the make, model, label of the manufacturing company, design, shape and form. The individual characteristics can be define as the features which develop on the object or any other article with it's wear and use. Like tear, cuts, malformation and deposition of dust, dirt, and mud. The individual characteristic indicate towards the ownership of article or evidence to a particular person.

The class characteristics can only support the possibility of the evidence exactly alike that of the evidence found at the scene of crime. But the individual characteristics can directly link the evidence with the cause of crime. Hence, will be useful to prove that a crime has taken place in the court of law.
