Earthquakes are usually caused by tectonic plates slipping past each other. An earthquake generates seismic waves of energy that travel through the ground. What would you expect to happen when a seismic wave passes from the ground into a body of water?
A. The wave's energy would be absorbed.
B. The wave's speed would increase or decrease.
C. The wave would change from a longitudinal to a transverse wave.
D. The wave would switch from a mechanical wave to an electromagnetic wave.

You have a pick-up truck that weighed 4,000 pounds when it was new. you are modifying it to increase its ground clearance. when you are finished

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
