It must have a medium. It must travel in empty space. Mechanical waves are waves which needs medium of propogation.

<span>Earthquakes often cause dramatic changes at Earth's surface. In addition to the ground movements, other surface effects include changes in the flow of groundwater, landslides, and mudflows. Earthquakes can do significant damage to buildings, bridges, pipelines, railways, embankments, dams, and other <span>structures</span></span>

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $=4.51m/s$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the 9 kg can be determined by these expression

Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

Now to obtain the initial energy stored

Let U denote the initial energy stored and

$U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Where x is the length the spring is displaced

k is the force constant of the string

$U = \frac{1}{2} * 627 * (0.6)^2$

$= 112.86 J$

Now referring to the formula above

i.e Kinetic energy of 9 kg block = initial energy stored - energy lost as a result of friction

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = 112.86 - \mu_kmgx$

$v^2 = \frac{2(112.86 -\mu_kmgx)}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112,86- \mu_kmgx)}{m}}$

and we are told that coefficient of friction = 0.4 and the mass is 9 kg ,the acceleration due to gravity $= 9.8m/s^2$ this displacement length of spring = 0.6

Therefore $v = \sqrt{\frac{2(112.86- (0.4 *9*9.8*0.6))}{9} }$

$=4.51m/s$
