What types of media can S-waves travel through

Physics
1 answer:
Greeley [361]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The second type of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the second wave you feel in an earthquake. An S wave is slower than a P wave and can only move through solid rock, not through any liquid medium.

Can a magnet attract a pure substance?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Magnets strongly attract materials  which already themselves have magnetic domains. They do not significantly attract many metals like gold, aluminum, silver, and even some types of high-chromium stainless-steel, which lack such domains. In fact, pure gold is slightly repelled.

The body went 450 meters within 30 seconds of starting the movement. In what time did the first 50 meters go?
Andrew [12]

3.33 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We can find the speed of the body using the formula,

Speed = Distance traveled in meters /  time taken in seconds

= 450 m / 30 seconds

= 15 m/s

So per second the distance traveled by the body is 15 m.

So time needed to travel 50 m can be found as,

time = distance/speed

= 50 m / 15 m /s

= 3.33 s

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

1. Straight-in spaces can leave you a safer out if
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

C. you're able to reverse out of the parking spot

Explanation:

Straight-in parking is an approach of parking that allows a more flexible traffic layout where a driver can approach the spot from either direction and still safely park within the lines. It thus helps to prevent blockage of cars. Each car can move in and out freely preventing it from congestion.

This way of parking can leave you safe when you able to reverse out of the parking spot. It gives you greater control and makes it easier to maneuver out space. The benefits of Straight-in parking are,

- Allows for two-way traffic

- Drivers can line up the vehicle from multiple angles

- Saves time for drivers

Luda [366]
  • Answer:

<em>12,25 km/h</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>

  • Explanation:

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>= 12,25km/h</em>

<em>or</em>

<em>v = d/t</em>

<em>= 12250m/h</em>

<em>1h = 60m×60s = 3600s</em>

<em>= 12250m/3600s</em>

<em>≈ 3,4 m/s </em>
