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

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.

What would be the answer for this and how?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

$k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\$

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

$k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k = 250\ N/m\\$

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

$k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\$

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\$

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 5.0

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$f = 421.8 Hz$

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

$\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}$

so it will be

$\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093$

$\Delta L = 0.4066$

now we know that

$\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066$

$\lambda = 0.813$

now frequency of sound is given as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.813}$

$f = 421.8 Hz$
