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

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 8.00 • 106 m/sec are ejected froma surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6
Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is d.

A 1.00 -kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.62a). The object has
LekaFEV [45]

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m

A ship sets out to sail to a point 120 km due north. an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 100 km due east of its starti
Pavel [41]
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.

. The artificial sweetener NutraSweet is a chemical called aspartame (C14H18N2O5). What is (a) its molecular mass (in atomic mas
loris [4]

The molecular mass, in atomic mass unit, of aspartame would be 294 amu while the mass, in kg, of an aspartame molecule would be 0.294 kg

Aspartame has the chemical formula C14H18N2O5

C = 12, H = 1, N = 14, O = 16

(a) Molecular weight = (12x14) + (1x18) + (14x2) + (16x5)

                                  = 168 + 18 + 28 + 80

                                    = 294 amu

(b) Mass of 1 molecule of aspartame = mole x molar mass

                                    = 1 x 294

                                        = 294 g

Converting 294 g to kg = 294/1000

                                         = 0.294 kg
