Answer:

A.They alternately compress and pull apart the particles in matter.

B. They are the first waves detected after an earthquake.

Explanation:

P-waves, also known as a compressional wave is the wave that shakes the ground in the same and opposite direction of the wave i.e. back and forthe motion of the ground. They compress and pull apart the material alternatively. The disturbances due to these waves have small magnitude thus making them non destructive. These waves travel at faster speed as compared to other seismic waves and thus help in detecting the earthquake. These wave can travel through liquid, solid and gases.

The body went 450 meters within 30 seconds of starting the movement. In what time did the first 50 meters go?
Andrew [12]

3.33 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can find the speed of the body using the formula,

Speed = Distance traveled in meters /  time taken in seconds

= 450 m / 30 seconds

= 15 m/s

So per second the distance traveled by the body is 15 m.

So time needed to travel 50 m can be found as,

time = distance/speed

= 50 m / 15 m /s

= 3.33 s

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
