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.

An airplane accelerates from a speed of 88m/s to a speed of 132 m/s during a 15 second time interval. How far did the airplane t
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

1650\:\mathrm{m}

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematics equations to solve this problem:

v_f=v_i+at,\\{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta x.

Using the first one to solve for acceleration:

132=88+a(15),\\15a=44,\\a=\frac{44}{15}=2.9\bar{3}\:\mathrm{m/s^2}.

Now we can use the second equation to solve for the distance travelled by the airplane:

132^2=88^2+2\cdot2.9\bar{3}\cdot \Delta x,\\\Delta x= \frac{9680}{2\cdot2.9\bar{3}},\\\Delta x =\fbox{$ 1650\:\mathrm{m}$}(three significant figures).

An elevator cab and its load have a combined mass of 1600 kg. Find the tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally
amid [387]

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab originally moves downward is 18422.4 N

What is tension?

Tension is described as the pulling force by the means of a three-dimensional object.

Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Here,

m =combined mass = 1600 kg

s = Displacement of the elevator = 42 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial velocity = 12 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

According to the equation of motion:

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2as

0 - 12^2 = 2*a*42

a = - 144 / 84

a = - 1.714 m/s^2

Now let's write the equation of the forces acting on the elevator. Taking upward as positive direction:

T-mg = ma

T = m(g-a)

T = 1600 ( 9.8-(-1.74))

T=18422.4 N

Hence,

The tension in the supporting cable when the cab, originally moving downward is 18422.4 N
