Answer:

A.They alternately compress and pull apart the particles in matter.

B. They are the first waves detected after an earthquake.

Explanation:

P-waves, also known as a compressional wave is the wave that shakes the ground in the same and opposite direction of the wave i.e. back and forthe motion of the ground. They compress and pull apart the material alternatively. The disturbances due to these waves have small magnitude thus making them non destructive. These waves travel at faster speed as compared to other seismic waves and thus help in detecting the earthquake. These wave can travel through liquid, solid and gases.

The current through two identical light bulbs connected in series is 0.25 A. The voltage across both bulbs is 110 V. The resista

Rus_ich [418]

The resistance of a single light bulb is 220 ohms per bulb.

<h3>What is Ohm's Law?</h3>

Ohm's Law is a formula used to determine how voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit relate to one another.

Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as basic to students of electronics as Einstein's Relativity equation (E = mc2) is to physicists.

E = I x R

The formula reads voltage = current x resistance, or V = A xΩ., or volts = amps x ohms.

110volts divided by .25amps = 440 ohms. 440 divided by 2 =220 ohms per bulb.

R = 110/(2*0.25) = 220 ohms

Suppose you are drinking root beer from a conical paper cup. The cup has a diameter of 10 centimeters and a depth of 13 centimet

sveta [45]

Answer:

The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.

Explanation:

The volume of the cone is :

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \pi\times r^2\times h$

Where, V is the volume of the cone

r is the radius of the cone

h is the height of the cone

The ratio of the radius and the height remains constant in overall the cone.

Thus, given that, r = d / 2 = 10 / 2 cm = 5 cm

h = 13 cm

r / h = 5 / 13

r = {5 / 13} h

$V=\frac {1}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times ({{{\frac {5}{13}\times h}}})^2\times h$

$V=\frac {550}{3549}\times h^3$

Also differentiating the expression of volume w.r.t. time as:

$\frac {dV}{dt}=\frac {550}{3549}\times 3\times h^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

Given: $\frac {dV}{dt}$ = -4 cm³/sec (negative sign to show leaving)

h = 10 cm

So,

$-4=\frac{550}{3549}\times 3\times {10}^2\times \frac {dh}{dt}$

$\frac{55000}{1183}\times \frac {dh}{dt}=-4$

$\frac {dh}{dt}=-0.08603\ cm/s$

<u>The level of the root beer is dropping at a rate of 0.08603 cm/s.</u>
