How are ocean waves different from waves experienced in an earthquake?

Physics
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago
4 0

When an earthquake occurs, rocks at a fault line slip or break, and two sections of Earth's crust physically move relative to one another. That movement releases energy, and two types of seismic waves radiate outward from the earthquake through Earth's interior and along its surface.

WHEREAS

Ocean waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. ... Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

During the power stroke energy released by combustion generates the force that:_______.
Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

An IC engines means an Internal Combustion engine. Here, the combustion takes place in side a chamber or a cylinder internally, hence it is known as internal combustion engine.

Combustion is the process where oxygen reacts with the fuel and it burns to produce a large amount of force and heat. In each revolution of the crank, the engine creates a power stroke when the piston goes from the bottom dead center to the top dead center.

During each power stroke, the energy released forces the piston down and the crankshaft is rotated.

if a man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s squared. what amount of force acted on the ball?
kkurt [141]

F = ma

We have mass = 0.2kg

and acceleration = 20 m/s^2

So..

F = (0.2)(20)

F = 4 N

The student quickly discovers that placing the marshmallow over the flame is more effective than heating the marshmallow on the
ANEK [815]

Answer:

The answer is convection.

Explanation:

There are three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation.

  • Conduction occurs when two objects touch each other and transfer heat.
  • Convection occurs when an object heats its surrounding fluid (like air, or water) and, since the hot fluids are less dense than the cold ones, they go up. So convection is a type of heat transfer that usually goes from down to up.
  • Radiation occurs when objects emanate heat in the form of electromagnetic waves that propagates in all directions.

So in this case, when the marshmallow is above the fire, it is exposed to convection, which does not occur when it is on the side of the fire.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In the case of the blackish-yellow powder, the black color is due to the presence of a iron and yellow color is due to sulfur. As the iron has retained its original properties it has got attached to the magnet. Thus the blackish-yellow powder is considered a mixture.

What happens to the inertia of an object of its mass is decreased?
Verizon [17]
 <span>The inertia of an object increases if the mass is decreased. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest. It is represented numerically by an object's mass.</span>
