Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction

Physics

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.

what is the dot product and cross product of of two vectors if the angle is between them is 90 degree?

DaniilM [7]

The angle between the two vectors is 90° .

$\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{TO\: FIND:-}}}}}$

The dot product of two vectors .
The cross product of two vectors .

$\sf{\pink{\underline{\underline{\blue{SOLUTION:-}}}}}$

⚡ Let $\rm{\vec{a}}$ and $\rm{\vec{b}}$ are the two vectors .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\cos{90^{\degree}}\:}$

cos 90° = 0

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{0}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:.\:\vec{b}\:=\:0\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [1] The dot product of two vectors is “ 0 ” .

✍️ We have know that,

$\orange\bigstar\:\rm{\pink{\boxed{\green{\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{\theta}\:}}}}$

Where,

θ = 90°

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\sin{90^{\degree}}\:}$

sin 90° = 1

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\times{1}\:}$

$\rm{\implies\:\vec{a}\:\times\:\vec{b}\:=\:ab\:}$

$\rm{\red{\therefore}}$ [2] The cross product of two vectors is “ ab ” .

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4 m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N if force not to exceed limit (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2 about 2 g

The resistance between 2 points in an electrical circuit is 1.1 Ω. What additional resistance

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

the new resister is 11 ohms.

Explanation:

Set it up like this.

1/x + 1/1.1 = 1 Subtract 1/1.1 from both sides

1/x = 1 - 1/1.1

1 - 1/1.1 = 1/11

1/x = 1/11 Cross multiply

11 = x

If 1/11 bothers you, you could do it it another way.

1 - 1/1.1 = (1.1 - 1 ) / 1.1 = 0.1 / 1.1 Multiply top and bottom by 10

0.1*10/(1.1 * 10 ) = 1 / 11
