<h3>Answer;</h3>

S waves are known as secondary wave or shear waves

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Seismic wave are types of waves that result from break down of rocks within the earth or an explosion. Seismic waves are classified as body waves and surface waves.
Body waves are classified into either secondary waves or primary waves. Commonly known as the S-waves and the P-waves.
Secondary waves are types of body waves that move through an object's body unlike the case of surface waves. It is the second wave that is felt after an earthquake.

A force of 30 N is applied tangentially to the rim of a solid disk of radius 0.14 m. The disk rotates about an axis through its

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

3.8 kg

Explanation:

The torque, τ, due to the force, F, is given by

$\tau = F\times r$

where r is the radius.

This torque is also given by

$\tau = I\times\alpha$

where I and α are respectively the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration.

For a solid disk, its moment of inertia for an axis though its centre and perpendicular to its face is given by

$I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$

where m is its mass and r is its radius.

Hence, we have

$\tau = F\times r = I\times\alpha=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\times\alpha$

$m = \dfrac{2F}{r\alpha} = \dfrac{2(30\ \text{N})}{(0.14\ \text{m})(115\ \text{rad/s}^2)} = 3.8\ \text{kg}$

All the angles of reflection are +3° off, so systematic error.

The device used to measure the angle might be miscalibrated or have incorrect markings.

Explain another example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, using another sport.

Maksim231197 [3]

Newton's third law explains how many sports injuries are caused. The more force you use to a hit a tennis ball, the more reaction force your arm receives from the racket. Every time your feet hit the ground when you are running, the ground hits your feet with an equal and opposite force.
