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.

In which part of the ear is the sound wave converted into electrical impulse
Kryger [21]
The part of the ear where the sound wave converted into electrical impulse would be the cochlea. This part is the  auditory portion of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for a five seconds along a straight road. If speed obtained by the car is 72 km
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

50 meters

Explanation:

Let's start by converting to m/s. There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 1000 meters in a kilometer, meaning that 72km/h is 20m/s.

v_f=v_o+at

Since the car starts at rest, you can write the following equation:

20=0+a(5) \\\\a=20\div 5=4 m/s^2

Now that you have the acceleration, you can do this:

d=v_o+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Once again, there is no initial velocity:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)(5)^2=2 \cdot 25=50m

Hope this helps!
