What kind of waves are present during an earthquake? ...

Physics
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

2. potential energy

3. Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.

4. Refraction is the bending of light

5. Density uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

What are some ways we can improve on our land use?

- Avoid deforestation and close the forest frontier.

The first-order priority is to end deforestation by closing the "forest frontier" or intact forests, to development.

- Increase agricultural productivity.

- Restore forests and landscapes.

- Reduce food loss and waste.

- Improve diets

Two people push on the same door from opposite sides as shown. A man pushes on a door from the left. A woman pushes on the door
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The door will move when the forces exerted by each individual becomes unbalanced.

Explanation:

The Door will only move when the forces exerted by each of the individual is unbalanced i.e. when the Torque is unbalanced

This is because there will only be a reaction or movement of an object  when the applied force > resistant force acting on the object.

example : An object at rest will only move when the applied force is  greater than the frictional forces acting on the object at rest.

Suppose a photon with an energy of 1.60 eV strikes a piece of metal. If the electron that it hits loses 0.800 eV leaving the met
JulsSmile [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the change of Energy in photons and the conservation of energy.

From the theory we could consider that the energy change is subject to

\Delta E = E_0 -W_f

Where

E_0 =Initial Energy

W_f = Energy loses

Replacing we have that

\Delta E = 1.6-0.8

\Delta E = 0.8eV

Therefore the Kinetic energy of the electron once it has broken free of the metal surface is 0.8eV

Thought Experiment: A monkey escapes from a zoo and climbs a tree. After failing to entice the monkey down, a zookeeper fires a
Andreyy89

Explanation:

When bullet is shot towards the monkey then let say the distance of monkey from the bullet is "d"

so we can find the time to reach the bullet to the monkey

t = \frac{d}{vcos\theta}

Now similarly we can find the vertical displacement of the bullet in the same time

\Delta y = vsin\theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

\Delta y = v sin\theta (\frac{d}{vcos\theta}) - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

so it is given as

\Delta y = d tan\theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

here if the monkey is initially at height H above the ground at given angle then we can say

H = dtan\theta

so we can say that

\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

So if at the same time monkey will fall down then the height of monkey from ground after time "t" is given as

\Delta y = H - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

so here bullet will hit the monkey as both monkey and bullet are at same position.

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.
