Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?

Chemistry

Leto [7]3 years ago
8 0
The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.

The temperature is -14°C the air pressure in an automobile tire is 149K PA if the volume does not change what is the pressure af
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=149kPa\\T_1=-14^0C=(273-14)=259K\\P_2=?=27.5psi\\T_2=17.3^0C=(273+17.3)=290.3K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{149}{259}=\frac{P_2}{290.3}\\\\P_2=167kPa

Hence, the pressure after the tire is heated to 17.3°C is 167 kPa

What substances make up water?
ziro4ka [17]
A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets.


An iron pot is made up of only one substance, iron. Iron is an element classified as a transition metal


Iron. Elementsare pure substances that are made up of one kind of atom. Pizza is not an element because it is a mixture of many substances. Water is a pure substance, but it contains two kindsof atom: oxygen and hydrogen.
