Answer:

P-waves travel through liquids and solid while S-waves only travel through solids.

Explanation:

Scientists are able to use the fact that P-waves travel through both solids and liquids and waves travel through only solids to determine what makes the different layers of the Earth.

A force exerted on an object produces acceleration. If the mass remains the same and the acceleration is doubled, the force must
Inga [223]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The force will be doubled.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Using Newton Law II,

<h3>F = ma </h3>

So it can be seen in the formula that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

if mass is doubled ---> force will be doubled, keeping acceleration constant.

Similarly,

if acceleration is doubled ---? force is will be doubled, keeping mass constant.

Answer:

Its initial position was 471 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Final position of the object is 327 m

Displacement of the object is -144 m

It is required to find its initial position. The difference of final and initial position is equal to the displacement of the object. So,

d=\text{final position}-\text{initial position}\\\\-144=327-\text{initial position}\\\\\text{initial position}=327+144\\\\\text{initial position}=471\ m

So, its initial position was 471 m.

Infrared light of wavelength 2.5 µm illuminates a 0.20-mm-diameter hole. What is the angle of the first dark fringe in radians?
stepan [7]

Answer:

Θ=0.01525 rad

or

Θ=0.87°

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength λ=2.5 µm =2.5×10⁻⁶m

Diameter d=0.20 mm =0.20×10⁻³m

To find

Angle Θ in radians and degree

Solution

Circular apertures have first dark fringe at

Θ=(1.22λ)/d

Substitute the given values

So

Θ=[1.22(2.5×10⁻⁶m)]/0.20×10⁻³m

Θ=0.01525 rad

or

Θ=0.87°

Water emerges straight down from a faucet with a 2.51-cm diameter at a speed of 3.04 m/s. (because of the construction of the fa
Mkey [24]
This is a question on conservation of energy. That is,
mgh + KE1 = KE2
mgh +1/2mv1^2 = 1/2mv2^2
gh + 1/2v1^2 = 1/2v2^2

Where, h = 0.2 m, v1 =3.04 m/s
Therefore,
v2 = Sqrt [2(gh+1/2v1^2)] = Sqrt [2(9.81*0.2 + 1/2*3.04^2)] = 7.26 m/s

Now, Volumetric flow rate, V/time, t = Surface area, A*velocity, v
Where,
V = Av = πD^2/4*3.04 = π*(2.51/100)^2*1/4*3.04 = 1.504*10^-3 m^3/s

At 0.2 m below,
V = 1.504*10^-3 m^3/s = A*7.26
A = (1.504*10^-3)/7.26 = 2.072*10^-4 m^2

But, A = πr^2
Then,
r = Sqrt (A/π) = Sqrt (2.072*10^-4/π) = 0.121*10^-3 m
Diameter = 2r = 0.0162 m = 1.62 cm
