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.

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The answer is C as there is more force on the left side ( excess of 5 N) which therefore pushed it to the right with a force of 5 N!
