Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion.
Answer: 996m/s
Explanation:
Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is
V = √T/M where;
V is the velocity of wave
T is tension
M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)
Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1
Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively
V1 = √T/M1... 1
V2 = √T/M2... 2
Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1
The equations will now become
249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3
V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4
From 3,
249² = TL1/m...5
From 4,
V2²= 2TL1/m... 6
Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;
249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1
{249/V2}² = 1/2
249/V2 = (1/2)²
249/V2 = 1/4
V2 = 249×4
V2 = 996m/s
Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s
ZC. The forward force of the surfboard's acceleration is balanced by the backward force of the surfer's mass.
Because the idea that the ground that we live, stand, and build on is actually moving beneath us blew the minds of scientists.
