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.

Answer:

$a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

$acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\$ .

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

$\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\$

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

$a=653*0.1667*0.354\\$

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\ a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Why is it important to include variety in your workouts

grigory [225]

Explanation:

Variety in to an exercise program allows the body to adapt to many demands, from high intensity exercise to slow, steady state exercise. Variety is important in a fitness program because it allows for your body to be challenged on a consistent basis and to overcome a plateau.
