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.

Is cold fusion science or pseudoscience
kondor19780726 [428]

The experiments that claimed to demonstrate cold fusion were found
to have been faulty by others who reviewed them.  Also, nobody else
was able to reproduce the finding in other laboratories.  In the world
of Science, this pretty much says that the initial claims were unfounded.

Hlo <br><br> what is a force........??
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Formula

Newton's Second Law

F = m * a

F = force

m = mass of an object

a = acceleration

There is a moon orbiting an Earth-like planet. The mass of the moon is 9.58 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center separation of the pl
kaheart [24]

Answer:

= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg

Orbital radius r = 4.28  × 10⁵km

Orbital period  T = 28.9days

T = 28.9  × 24 × 60 × 60

   = 2,496,960s

Angular momentum of the moon about the planet

L = mvr

L = mr²w

L = mr^2\frac{2\pi }{T} \\\\L = \frac{9.5 \times 10^2^2 \times(4.28\times10^8)^2\times2\times3.14}{2496960} \\\\L = 4.389.5 \times 10^3^4kgm^2/s

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg 
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3

Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J

In KJ we can convert this as

Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ

so the correct answer is D option
