What distinguishes surface and body seismic waves?

Biology
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 years ago

Answer:
Seismic waves are the wave form of energy that travels through the earth’s layer and they are produced as a result of earthquake, magma movement, volcanic eruptions, land slides and large man- made explosions.
There are two types of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through the interiors of the earth. Surface waves travels only through the interface between earth and the atmosphere.

A 6,000 kg train car is moving to the right at 10 m/s and connects to a 4,000-kg train car that wasn't moving. What is the veloc
SIZIF [17.4K]

6 m/s

This type of collision is a <u>Inelastic collision </u>

Explanation:

We begin by finding the momentum of the initial train car;

Remember that momentum is given by the formulae mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)

Therefore;

Momentum = 6000 * 10

= 60,000 kg⋅m/s

The other car has zero momentum because;

4000 * 0

= 0

When the two train cars collide, the total momentum will be;

60,000 + 0 = 60,000

Therefore to find the velocity, well use the same formulae;

p = mv  whereby;

p – momentum

m – mass

v – velocity

60,000 = (6000 + 4000) * v

v = 60,000 / 10,000

v = 6

= 6 m/s

This is an elastic collision because we are assuming that no energy is lost in the collision. Most collisions, however, are not elastic but rather inelastic. In inelastic collision some of the kinetic energy is lost to the environment in some other form of energy such as heat energy.

Genetic research and testing includes __________.
USPshnik [31]

Answer;

-All of the above,

Genetic research and testing includes; the Human Genome Project, gene therapy , and  genetically engineering drugs.

Explanation;

-Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.

- Genetic research is the study of human DNA to find out what genes and environmental factors contribute to diseases. It is concerned with the study of the role of genes in traits such as the development of disease. It has a key role in identifying potential targets for therapeutic intervention and also in understanding genetically based variations in response to therapeutic interventions.
