Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave.

It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.

a Car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s the curve has a radius of 80 m what is a centripetal force on the car

Answers

Well, first of all, the car is not moving at a uniform velocity, because,
on a curved path, its direction is constantly changing. Its speed may
be constant, but its velocity isn't.

The centripetal force on a mass 'm' that keeps it on a circle with radius 'r' is

   F = (mass) · (speed)² / (radius).

For this particular car, the force is

(2,000 kg) · (25 m/s)² / (80 m)

   = (2,000 kg) · (625 m²/s²) / (80 m)

   = (2,000 · 625 / 80) (kg · m / s²)

   = 15,625 newtons .

A rectangular glass block of dimensions 8.0 cm by 15.0 cm by 3.0 cm weighs 10.5 N. Calculate the minimum and the maximum pressure the bock can exert when it rests on a horizontal table.---
Please answer this asap!

Answers

The pressure can be solved using the following formula:

P = mg / A

Where: P = pressure
mg = mass * gravity = W = 10.5 N
A = l*w

Solving for A (maximum):

A = 8*3
A = 24 sq. cm

Solving for A (minimum):

A = 15*8
A = 120 sq. cm

Substituting into the first equation:

Pmax = 10.5 N / 24 sq.cm
Pmax = 0.4375 Pa

Pmin = 10.5 N / 120 sq.cm
Pmin = 0.0875 Pa

What is a sedimentary, igneous, and a metamorphic rock?

Answers

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water. They accumulate in layers. Metamorphic rocks result when existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or reactive fluids, such as hot, mineral-laden water.

Explanation:

A train moving with a velocity of 87.1 km/hour North, increases its speed with a uniform acceleration of 0.250 m/s2 North until it reaches a velocity of 160.0 km/hour North. What distance did the train travel while it was increasing its velocity, in units of meters?

Answers

Answer:

2780 meters

Explanation:

First, convert km/hr to m/s.

87.1 km/hr × (1000 m / km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 24.2 m/s

160.0 km/hr × (1000 m / km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 44.4 m/s

Given:

v₀ = 24.2 m/s

v = 44.4 m/s

a = 0.250 m/s²

Find: x

v² = v₀² + 2a (x − x₀)

(44.4 m/s)² = (24.2 m/s)² + 2(0.250 m/s²) (x − 0 m)

x = 2780 m

Which describes an image that can be produced by a concave lens?The image is real and smaller than the object.
The image is virtual and larger than the object.
The image is virtual and smaller than the object.
The image is real and larger than the object.

Answers

Answer:

The image is virtual and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

A concave lens is a diverging lens, meaning that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it. A concave lens is thinner at its center than at its edges.

It always produces virtual images because the image appears to form on the same side of the lens where the object is placed.

The image is always smaller than the object. Far the object, smaller will be its image.

A light ray diagram of a concave lens is attached for a better understanding.

Answer: The image is virtual and smaller than the object.
