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.

Why does a bowling ball and a feather hit the ground at the same time when they are dropped in a vacuum?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

This is because the vacuum chamber removes all the air contained and for this reason, there is no force that opposes the movement of the feather when falling. We must remember that the free fall equation of kinematics is not a function of the mass of an object.

v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

As we can see the mass of the object is not included in the equation.

A spring with a spring constant kk of 100 pounds per foot is loaded with 1-pound weight and brought to equilibrium. it is then s
tino4ka555 [31]

Given:

k = 100 lb/ft, m = 1 lb / (32.2 ft/s) = 0.03106 slugs 

Solution:


F = -kx 
mx" = -kx 
x" + (k/m)x = 0 

characteristic equation: 
r^2 + k/m = 0 
r = i*sqrt(k/m) 

x = Asin(sqrt(k/m)t) + Bcos(sqrt(k/m)t) 

ω = sqrt(k/m) 
2π/T = sqrt(k/m) 
T = 2π*sqrt(m/k) 
T = 2π*sqrt(0.03106 slugs / 100 lb/ft) 
T = 0.1107 s (period) 

x(0) = 1/12 ft = 0.08333 ft 
x'(0) = 0 

1/12 = Asin(0) + Bcos(0) 
B = 1/12 = 0.08333 ft 

x' = Aω*cos(ωt) - Bω*sin(ωt) 
0 = Aω*cos(0) - (1/12)ω*sin(0) 
0 = Aω 
A = 0 

So B would be the amplitude. Therefore, the equation of motion would be x = 0.08333*cos[(2π/0.1107)t]

Using an example, explain how small atoms are.
Aliun [14]
Unlike a ball, an atom doesn't have a fixed radius. The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance... Does that answer your question?
