Which of the following affects the speed of a seismic wave?

Physics
1 answer:
NemiM [27]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is B.  composition

Explanation:

  • The speed of a seismic wave is governed by three interrelated factors, viz. the composition of the rock, pressure, and temperature.
  • Seismic waves travel at different speeds in different mediums.
  • This property of the seismic waves tends it to change the speed where the concentration of minerals in the rocks varies.
  • Other than that, the increasing temperature beneath the Earth's surface decreases the speed of the seismic waves, and the speed increases with increasing pressure as the waves go penetrating deep down into the Earth's interiors.

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?
Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it.  Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s  ==>  (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out.  If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is:  You need to remember the formula !

The formula is        D = 1/2 a T²

                   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

             Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
                                  =        (18 m/s)            /        (12 sec)
                                  =                      1.5 m/s² .

                  Distance  =  (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
                                  =       (0.75 m/s²)  x  (144 sec²)  =  108 meters .

A Car with drives into a solid object with 70 km/h, from which height would it fall if it was in free fall?​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

18.9 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 70 km/h

Height (h) =?

Next, we shall convert 70 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s

Therefore,

70 km/h = 70 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 km/h

70 km/h = 19.44 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 19.44 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

19.44² = 0² + (2 × 10 × h)

377.9136 = 0 + 20h

377.9136 = 20h

Divide both side by 20

h = 377.9136 / 20

h = 18.9 m

Thus, the car will fall from a height of 18.9 m

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/
velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

 To get the  true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

 which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

 

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,   P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

 

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector.  To get the coordinates of these two vectors,  use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.
