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.

At 19 ºC a volume of air takes us 9.0 mL in an expandable container. What is its volume after it is heated up to 50. ºC?
Katena32 [7]
According to Charles law, we know, at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature. 
So, <span>V/T = constant 
</span>
V₁/t₁ = V₂/t₂
V₁t₂ = V₂t₁

Here, we have: V₁ = 9 mL
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 50+272 = 323 K
T₁ = 19+273 = 292 K

Substitute their values into the expression:
9 × 323 = V₂ × 292
V₂ = 2907 / 292
V₂ = 9.95
After rounding-off to unit place value, it would be equal to 10 mL

So, In short Option C would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.
