Answer:
Primary waves (P-waves)
Explanation:
Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.
<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>
- body waves
- surface waves
Body waves are of two types:
Primary waves (P-waves)
These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.
They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.
Secondary waves (S-waves)
They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.
As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.
Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)
- These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
- They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
- Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.
The purpose of the machine is to leverage its mechanical advantage such that the force it outputs to move the heavy object is greater than the force required for you to input.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch! When you apply the conservation of energy, the work the machine does on the object will always be equal to (in an ideal machine) or less than the work you input to the machine.
This means that you will apply a lesser force for a longer distance so that the machine can supply a greater force on the object to push it a smaller distance. That is the trade-off of using the machine: it enables you to use a smaller force but at the cost of having to apply that smaller force for a greater distance.
The answer is: The work input required will equal the work output.
Answer:
More work done with less power
The increase in gravitational energy is the same as the height which is a function of gravitational energy is the same in both cases
Explanation:
Climbing the mountain in zigzag pattern is easier because
1. The time it takes to climb increases so that the required power or rate of doing work decreases
2. Climbing in zigzag pattern affords the use of leverages by the sides
3. Similar mechanical power gain and efficiency from using a drive screw instead of a nail to fasten items together can be achieved
The increase in gravitational energy is the same gravitational energy ~ mass × gravity ×height
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Aδ fibers carry cold, pressure, and acute pain signals, and because they are thin (2 to 5 μm in diameter) and myelinated, they send impulses faster than unmyelinated C fibers, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated group A nerve fibers. Their conduction velocities are moderate.
Answer:
Options A, B, and C are all possible.
Explanation:
We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?
If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.
If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.
If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.
