Answer:

An earthquake generates a series of seismic waves that travel through the interior or near the surface of the Earth. ... They're compressional or longitudinal waves that push and pull the ground in the direction the wave is traveling. They usually cause very little damage.

Compressional waves 

Explanation:

(longitudinal, primary, P-waves of earthquake seismology) are the fastest of all seismic waves. They propagate by compressional and dilatational uniaxial strains in the direction of wave travel through solid, liquid, and gas media.

Select the statements that correctly interpret the data in this heating curve.
tekilochka [14]

The consistent temperature indicated by section 2 represents the flow of energy lost as the water freezes.

Section 2 indicates that energy is being utilized to bring all molecules to the melting point.

Section 4 indicates that the temperature is stable until all molecules reach the boiling point.

The increasing temperature in section 5 indicates that molecular motion is increasing.

Explanation:

The figure is missing: find it in attachment.

The graph represents the temperature of a block of ice as heat is continuously supplied to it.

At the beginning (section 1), the temperature increases: in this phase, the heat supplied to the ice is used to increase the kinetic energy of vibration of the molecules of ice.

When the ice reach point A (melting point), the ice starts to melt. In this phase (section 2), the temperature of the substance remains constant, because all the heat supplied is used to break the bonds between the molecules, converting the ice into liquid water.

At point B, the ice has completely melted, and therefore we now have liquid water.

In sector 3 (between B and C), the temperature of the water increases again as we supply more and more heat: this heat, in fact, is used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, which move faster and faster.

Then, the water reaches the boiling point (point C): after that, the water starts to boil, (sector 4) and the heat supplied is entirely used to remove the intermolecular forces between the molecules of water; as a result, the temperature remains constant during the process.

At poind D, the water has completely boiled, and converted into gas state (steam).

After that, the temperature of the steam starts to increase again (sector 5) as more and more heat is supplied, because it is used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Therefore, the correct statements are:

The consistent temperature indicated by section 2 represents the flow of energy lost as the water freezes.

Section 2 indicates that energy is being utilized to bring all molecules to the melting point.

Section 4 indicates that the temperature is stable until all molecules reach the boiling point.

The increasing temperature in section 5 indicates that molecular motion is increasing.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a)h_{max}=14536.16 m

b)h = 15687.9 m

c)PD=7.62\% The estimate is low.

Explanation:

a) Using the energy conservation we have:

E_{initial}=E_{final}

we have kinetic energy intially and gravitational potential energy at the maximum height.

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh_{max}

h_{max}=\frac{v^{2}}{2g}

h_{max}=\frac{43^{2}}{2*0.0636}

h_{max}=14536.16 m  

b)  We can use the equation of the gravitational force

F=G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}   (1)

We have that:

F = ma    (2)

at the surface G will be:

G=\frac{gR^{2}}{M}

Now the equation of an object at a distance x from the surface.

is:

F=\frac{mgR^{2}}{(R+x)^{2}}

m\frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{mgR^{2}}{(R+x)^{2}}

Using that dv/dt is vdx/dt and integrating in both sides we have:

v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{2gRh}{R+h}}

h=\frac{v_{0}^{2}R}{2gR-v_{0}^{2}}

h=15687.9

c) The difference is:

So the percent difference will be:

PD=|\frac{14536.16-15687.9}{(14536.16+15687.9)/2}*100%

PD=7.62\%

The estimate is low.

I hope it helps you!
