When earthquakes occur, seismic waves are sent through the Earth. The two most common types of seismic waves are P waves and S w

aves. The graph below shows how P waves and S waves can travel through the Earth.
Based on the graph, what is true about P waves and S waves?
A. They both travel faster than 7,000 miles per minute
B. They travel at different speeds through the Earth.
C. They both travel slower than 1,000 miles per hour.
D. They travel at the same speed through the Earth.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

A proposed ocean thermal-energy conversion (OTEC) system is a heat engine that would operate between warm water (25 degrees C) a
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

 \eta=0.067

Explanation:

Given that

Temperature of warm water ,T₁ = 25 °C

Temperature of cold water ,T₂ = 5 °C

The maximum possible efficiency of any heat is will be same as the efficiency of the Carnot heat engine.Therefore the maximum efficiency of OTEC system is given as follows

\eta=1-\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}      

T should be Kelvin scale

Now by putting the values

\eta =1-\dfrac{5+273}{25+273}

\eta=0.067

Therefore the maximum efficiency will be 0.067 or 6.7%.

When an object is at rest, it might have several forces acting on it. however,?
SSSSS [86.1K]
For the object to be moving, there must be a value for the forces acting on this object in a certain direction to cause the object to move.

On the other hand, when an object is at rest, despite the possibility of having several forces acting on it, these forces balance out to a net force of zero which keeps the body still with no motion.

A ball is lodged in a hole in the floor near the outside edge of a merry-go-round that is turning at constant speed. Which kinem
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that the ball is lodged in a hole in the floor of merry-go-round that is running at a constant speed.

Now the ball is moving a vertical circular motion  

The position of the ball changes w.r.t to the center as it moves in a circular path i.e. vectorially it changes but its magnitude will remain the same.  

The velocity of the ball is the same as merry-go-round so its magnitude remains the same but its direction will change continuously.

As the ball is moving in a circular path so a centripetal acceleration will acts towards the center so its value will be continuously changing.
