Physics

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.

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance
8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

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

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.

.. An object has a mass of 40 000 kilograms
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

8000 kg/cm^3

Explanation:

The density formula is P = M/V

Density = P = ? expressed in kg/m^3

M = mass = 40,000 kg

V = volume = 5 m^3

P = 40,000/5

P = 8000 kg/m^3

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour
Serhud [2]
For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient. 

<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>

<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>

<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>

<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>

<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.
