Evidence that seismic waves transfer energy without transferring matter?

1 answer:

8 0

Evidence that seismic waves transfer energy without transferring matter: Seismic waves do not transfer matter because the waves travel away from the faults because the movement in the crust occur along the faults as the seismic waves continue to travel away.

Torque acting dowward = 6 x 0.5 = 3 Nm

Torque acting to the right = 5 x 1 = 5 Nm

5 - 3 = 2 Nm

inertia = 1/2 mr^2

0.5 x 10 x 1^2 = 5 kg-m^2
2/5 = alpha = 0.4 rad /s^2

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.

Explanation:

It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.

For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by $\Delta T$ is $mC\Delta T$ (S.I. unit = Joules).

where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.

But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat

(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
