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.

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
