Which of the following statements describe P-waves? Select the two correct answers

Physics
1 answer:
oksian1 [2.3K]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Suppose you were bungee jumping from a bridge while blowing a hand-held air horn. How would someone remaining on the bridge hear
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The pitch will progressively lower

Explanation:

If i were bungee jumping from  a bridge while blowing a hand-held air horn and someone who remains on the bridge will hear a decreased pitch or frequency as the source is moving away from the stationary listener as per the Dooplers effect. Hence, the pitch will progressively lower as the source is moving away from the observer.

A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

lightning is actually an enormous display of the concept of A.chemical heating B.solar energy C.magnetism D.grounding
allsm [11]

Answer:

D) Grounding

Explanation:

The potential difference between cloud and ground leads to ionization of the atmosphere and resulting conduction through the air often to ground (although it can be between clouds at different potentials. I would say grounding, like the spark when you touch a hot battery terminal to ground on a car.

How would you explain conduction?
alexira [117]

Answer:

the meaning of conduction is the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
