Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.

The machine in the figure is ideal and an effort force of
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the box to the pivot be c.

Let the distance from the pivot to the effort be y.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort force (Fₑ) = 7 N

Force of resistance (Fᵣ) = 14 N

Distance from the box to the pivot (c) = 0.75 m

Distance from the pivot to the effort (y) =?

Clockwise moment = Fₑ × y

Anticlock wise moment = Fᵣ × c

Clockwise moment = Anticlock wise moment

Fₑ × y = Fᵣ × c

7 × y = 14 × 0.75

7 × y = 10.5

Divide both side by 7

y = 10.5 / 7

y = 1.5 m

Therefore, the distance from the pivot to the effort is 1.5 m
