Answer:

Surface waves, in contrast to body waves can only move along the surface. They arrive after the main P and S waves and are confined to the outer layers of the Earth. They cause the most surface destruction. Earthquake surface waves are divided into two different categories: Love and Rayleigh.

How much extra water does a 147-lb concrete canoe displace compared to an ultralightweight 38-lb kevlar canoe of the same size c
romanna [79]

We use the formula, to calculate the volume of water displaced by concrete canoe,

V =\frac{W}{\gamma }

Here, W is the weight of concrete canoe and \gamma is the specific weight of water and its value is 62.4\ lb/ft^3.

So,

V =\frac{ 147\ lb}{62.4\ lb/ft^3}=2.356\ ft^3.

Now the volume of water occupied in ultra lightweight kevlar canoe,

v=\frac{w}{\gamma}

Here, w is weight of  kevlar canoe.

So,

v=\frac{38\ lb}{62.4\ lb/ft^3} =0.6089\ ft^3

Thus, the volume of water displaced,

=V-v=2.356\ ft^3-0.6089\ ft^3=2.19\ ft^3.

Hence, the volume of water displaced canoe compared to an ultra-lightweight  kevlar canoe is 2.19\ ft^3

Give two example for push or pull to change the state of motion of time two examples​
dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

An Example of push as a force would be to push on a swing. The force moves the swing in a particular direction and the harder that you push the further the swing will go.

An example of pull as a force would be opening a door. ...

An example of pressure as a force is when you push down on a pile of grapes. is this what you mean

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2
