Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.

They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

A 0.20 kg mass is oscillating at a small angle from a light string with a period of 0.78 s.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

L = 15 cm

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(0.78/2π)²

L = 0.151027... m

L = 15 cm

Assume that block A which has a mass of 30 kg is being pushed to the left with a force of 75 N along a frictionless surface. Wha

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N. Note: this result does not match any value from your multiple choice list. Please see comment at the end of this answer.

Explanation:

The acting force F=75N pushes block A into acceleration to the left. Through a kinetic friction force, block B also accelerates to the left, however, the maximum of the friction force (which is unknown) makes block B accelerate by 0.5 m/s^2 slower than the block A, hence appearing it to accelerate with 0.5 m/s^2 to the right relative to the block A.

To solve this problem, start with setting up the net force equations for both block A and B:

$F_{Anet} = m_A\cdot a_A = F - F_{fr}\\F_{Bnet} = m_B\cdot a_B = F_{fr}$

where forces acting to the left are positive and those acting to the right are negative. The friction force F_fr in the first equation is due to A acting on B and in the second equation due to B acting on A. They are opposite in direction but have the same magnitude (Newton's third law). We also know that B accelerates 0.5 slower than A:

$a_B = a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}$

Now we can solve the system of 3 equations for a_A, a_B and finally for F_fr:

$30kg\cdot a_A = 75N - F_{fr}\\24kg\cdot a_B = F_{fr}\\a_B= a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}\\\implies \\a_A=\frac{87}{54}\frac{m}{s^2},\,\,\,a_B=\frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}\\F_{fr} = 24kg \cdot \frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{80}{3}kg\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 26.7N$

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.
