Body waves

Explanation:

A shear wave(S-wave) is a type of seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving.

  • Seismic waves are elastic waves usually generated when there is a disturbance within the earth.
  • There are two types of seismic waves:

                 Surface waves

                  Body waves

  • Body waves travel within the earth and they cause disturbances there. P and S waves are the two types of body waves that we have.
  • Surface waves travels on the earth surface. They are the love and rayleigh waves. They are the ones that cause destruction on the earth surface during an earthquake.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.2 m/s

0.31 m

0.15 m

Explanation:

Time period is

T=2.5\times 2\\\Rightarrow T=5\ s

Frequency is

f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=0.2\ Hz

Velocity is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=0.2\times 6\\\Rightarrow v=1.2\ m/s

The waves are traveling at 1.2 m/s

Amplitude is given by

A=\dfrac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=0.31\ m

Amplitude is 0.31 m

If d = 0.3 m

A=\dfrac{0.3}{2}=0.15\ m

The amplitude would be 0.15 m. The speed would remain the same.

A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion along the x axis. Its displacement varies with time according to the equation x =
frutty [35]

Answer:

θ = (7π / 3) rad

Explanation:

given,

displacement of simple harmonic motion along x-axis

equation is given as

                   x = 5 sin (π t + π/3 )

general equation of simple harmonic motion

                   x = A sin θ

           θ is the phase angle

      θ = π t + π/3

at   t = 2 s

      \theta =\pi \times 2 +\dfrac{\pi}{3}

      \theta =\dfrac{7\pi}{3}\ rad

Phase of the motion at t =2 s is θ = (7π / 3) rad

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

230 N

Explanation:

At the lowest position , the velocity is maximum hence at this point, maximum support force  T  is given by the branch.

The swinging motion of the ape on a vertical circular path , will require

a centripetal force  in upward direction . This is related to weight as follows

T - mg = m v² / R

R is radius of circular path . m is mass of the ape and velocity is 3.2 m/s

T =  mg -  mv² / R

T = 8.5 X 9.8 + 8.5 X 3.2² / .60  { R is length of hand of ape. }

T = 83.3 + 145.06

= 228.36

= 230 N ( approximately )
