What types of media can S-waves travel through

Physics
1 answer:
Greeley [361]3 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.

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

In a conservative field like gravitational field , loss of potential energy  or work done , depends upon the initial and final point and not the manner in which 2 nd point has been reached . Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

Hence , due to increased mass of larger child , his kinetic energy will be greater .

ii ) Since the initial and final point is same in both the cases of straight and curved path , final velocity will remain same for both of them .

iii ) Smaller child undergo free fall , therefore , he will fall with acceleration g . The larger child falls on curved path . So , he will have only a component of

vertical g at any moment  . hence average acceleration  will be less.

A bullet with a mass of 20 g and a speed of 960 m/s strikes a block of wood of mass 4.5 kg resting on a horizontal surface. The
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

<h2>4.25m/s</h2><h2>E. None of the option is correct</h2>

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem. According to the law, the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with the same velocity after collision.

Mathematically.

mu + MU = (m+M)v

m and M are the masses of the bullet and the block respectively

u and U are their respective velocities

v is their common velocity

from the question, the following parameters are given;

m = 20g = 0.02kg

u = 960m/s

M = 4.5kg

U =0m/s (block is at rest)

Substituting this values into the formula above to get v;

0.02(960)+4.5(0) = (0.02+4.5)v

19.2+0 = 4.52v

4.52v = 19.2

Dividing both sides by 4.52

4.52v/4.52 = 19.2/4.52

v = 4.25m/s

Since they have the same velocity after collision, then the speed of the block immediately after the collision is also 4.25m/s

in a hydraulic garage the small piston has a radius of 5 cm and the large piston has radius of 15 cm what force must be applied
viktelen [127]

The force applied to small piston = 2.2 x 10³ N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a radius of 5 cm and 15 cm

weight 20000 N

Required

Force applied

Solution

Pascal Law :

F₁/A₁=F₂/A₂

A₁ = π.5²

A₂ = π.15²

F₁/ π.5² cm² = 20000/π.15² cm²

F₁ = 2222.22 N⇒2.2 x 10³ N
