Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is the P-waves that travels the fastest and thus it is the first to arrive after a ground shaking. S waves also known as shear waves travel slower than the P –waves because they travel by shearing the material through which they propagate instead of changing its volume. P-wave travel with a speed ranging between 1 to 14 Km/Sec, while S –waves travel with a speed ranging between 1 to 8 Km/sec.

A tiger runs one kilometer. The tiger does 15,000 J of work and has a total power output of 500 W. How many minutes does it take
defon
Power is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. <span>As is implied by the equation for </span>power<span>, a unit of </span>power <span>is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time. The formula would be as follows:

P = W/t 

We calculate as follows:

500 W = 15000 J / t
t = 30 s</span>

on earth a block is placed on a frictionless table. When a 50 North horizontal force is applied to the block, it accelerates at
melamori03 [73]

As per Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

here

F = applied unbalanced force

m = mass of object

a = acceleration of object

now it is given that force F = 50 N North applied on block on earth due to which block will accelerate by 4 m/s^2

so here from above equation

50 = m* 4

m = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5 kg

Now we took another situation where block is placed on surface of moon and again force F = 25 N is applied on the block

So we will again use Newton's II law

F = ma

25 = 12.5 * a

a = \frac{25}{12.5}

a = 2 m/s^2

so block will accelerate on moon by acceleration 2 m/s^2
