What changes speed and direction depending on the density and material they travel through?
Waves (of energy)
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
What type of materiel is reinforced concrete?
a mixture of cement and water, reinforced by iron bars that run through it.
Why do waves travel in curved paths through the earth?
Because as they travel through the earth, the density of the material through which they are travelling will vary. This causes the speed of the wave to change which in turn results in a process known as refraction where the waves direction of propagation changes. As the density of the material in the earth continually increases with depth due to the increasing overburden pressure, the speed of the seismic waves will continuousy change with depth leading to continuous small changes in propogation direction which leads to the formation of a curved propagation path. Geophysicists make use of this phenomenon to estimate the density and structure of the interior of the earth. For more information, please see the related links.
What is the formula for air resistance please state what each symbol or letter stands for?
Fair = -0.5pv2ACdV Keep in mind that the p is the greek symbol for density, and V has a circumflex (^) over it. I cant add greek letters to this box. This is negative because I assume that the direction the object is moving is the positive direction. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction. p - density of fluid (fluid is what the object is moving through whether it be liquid or atmosphere) v - velocity of object as it moves through fluid A - area of object Cd - Drag coefficient V - unit vector as indicative of direction object is moving in
What is another word for into?
in the direction of through to, toward, withinin the direction of through to, toward, within
What is density when talking about mediums?
Density is the amount of (something) per unit (volume or area or length depending on the scenario). Mass density is the amount of mass per unit volume/area/length. If by medium you mean the medium through which a wave travels thru, then the density will primarily affect the velocity of the wave. Generally, sound/longitudinal waves have a velocity proportional to the density of the medium.
Any material that allows eletricity to pass through it easily?
when heat dyes and yo mama flies
Why current density is vector quantity?
Current is not scalar. Current is a vector quantity. For simplicity, in electric circuits, current is scalar because the direction is assumed to be one way or another, rather than three dimensional.
How can the speed of sound through a gas increase?
The speed of sound may vary, depending on:* On the type of gas * On the temperature * On the pressure
What characteristics does a normal transcranial Doppler ultrasonography have?
TCD produces an audible sound that varies with the heartbeat. It also varies depending on the direction and rate of flow through the vessel being examined. Each of the vessels in the brain has a characteristic direction of flow.
