Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.

Simora [160]

Answer:

A. 2.36 Newtons

Explanation:

F = GmM/d²

F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹(1)(5.98 x 10²⁴) / (1.3 x 10⁷)²

F = 2.36121...

Very poor question design.

  mass of box... 1 significant digit

        distance... 2 significant digits

mass of earth... 3 significant digits

     value of G... 4 significant digits

Answer precision to 3 significant digits is not justifiable

What is the average velocity of the object from t=1s to t= 3 s?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since this is a distance v time graph, the slope of the line from 1s to 3s is the velocity. However, it looks like, at t=3, the velocity is 0, so getting the definite velocity is not going to happen. We can estimate it as closely as possible. Since the line is tending from the upper left to the lower right, the slope is negative, so the velocity is also negative. That leaves only C or D as our answers. And the slope is closer to -1 than to -5, so choice D. is the one you want.

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?
gulaghasi [49]

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N
