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

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

$W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

b. $\Delta KE = 390 eV$

Explanation:

As we know that the electric field due to infinite line charge is given as

$E =\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

here we can find potential difference between two points using the relation

$\Delta V = \int E.dr$

now we have

$\Delta V = \int(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}).dr$

now we have

$\Delta V = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})$

now plug in all values in it

$\Delta V = \frac{12\times 10^{-9}}{2\pi \epsilon_0}ln(\frac{1+5}{1})$

$\Delta V = 216ln6 = 387 V$

now we know by energy conservation

$\Delta KE = q\Delta V$

$\Delta KE = (e)(387V) = 387 eV$

A 1232 kg car moving north at 25.6 m/s collides with a 2028 kg car moving north at 17.5 m/s . They stick together. In what direc

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

I. Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

II. Vr = 7.08m/s

Explanation:

Let the two cars be denoted by A and B

Given the following data;

Mass of car A = 1232 Kg

Velocity of car A = 25.6 m/s

Mass of car B = 2028 Kg

Velocity of car B = 17.5m/s

First of all, we would solve for momentum;

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum, M1 = 1232 × 25.6

Momentum, M1 = 31539.2 Kgm/s

Momentum, M2 = 2028 × 17.5

Momentum, M2 = 35490 Kgm/s

Now, let's find the resultant momentum using the Pythagoras theorem;

R² = M1² + M2²

R² = 31539.2² + 35490²

R² = 994721136.6 + 1259540100

R² = 2254261237

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

Resultant momentum, R = 47479.06 Kgm/s

To find the direction;

Angle = tan¯¹(M1/M2)

Angle = tan¯¹(31539.2/35490)

Angle = tan¯¹(0.89)

Angle = 41.7° Northeast.

To find the speed;

R = (M1 + M2)Vr

47479.06 = (31539.2 + 35490)Vr

47479.06 = 67029.2Vr

Vr = 47479.06/67029.2

Vr = 7.08m/s

Answer:

Magnetic activity and sunspots are in a proportional relationship.

Explanation:

From the graph, as one increases, so does the other, thus we describe the relationship as proportional.

Other than that, all of your other answers seem correct.
