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

Physics
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 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.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

-5.39\times10^{33} J

Explanation:

Potential energy =

-\frac{GMm}{r}\\=-\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.99\times10^{30}\times5.97\times10^{24}}{147/1\times10^{9}}\\=-5.39\times10^{33} J

A nitrogen isotope has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 15. the respective numbers of neutrons, protons, and electron
anygoal [31]
Atomic Number = amount of protons. Atomic mass = protons (7) and neutrons (8)


Electrons will be the protons - any charge the isotope has. For example, a +2 charge would make the electrons 7- (+2) = 5. A -2 charge would be electrons 7 - (-2) = 9

A boy on board a cruise ship drops a 30. 0 gm marble into the ocean. If the resistive force proportionality constant is 0. 500 k
svlad2 [7]

The terminal speed of the marble is 0.588 m/s.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

We know that,

F = mg                                                   ......(1)

where,

F = force

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

Also,

v = F/k                                                       ......(2)

where,

v = terminal speed

k = proportionality constant

Substituting the value of F from equation (1) in equation (2)

v = mg/k                                                         .......(3)

Given,

m = 30 g = 0.030 kg

k = 0.500 kg/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find,

v =?

Put the values in equation (3)

v = mg/k              

v = 0.03(9.8)/ 0.500

  = 0.294/0.500

  = 0.588 m/s

​

Hence, the terminal speed of the marble is 0.588 m/s.

When a 4-kg ball is thrown upwards at 40 m/s, at what
arlik [135]

Answer:

the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2 × mass × velocity^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × 4 kg × 40 m/s^2

= 3,200 J

Hence the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J
