What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
What angles does an s wave move?
Secondary waves, or S waves move from side to side, or up and down.
Another word for seismic waves that characterizes the way they move?
P-Waves (Primary Waves) S-Waves (Secondary Waves) Surface Waves
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves' direction?
the answer to this question is transverse wave
What are the two types of motion a projectile has?
If you throw ball at an angle above horizontal, you will see the path of the ball looks like an inverted parabola. This is result of the fact that the ball's initial velocity has a horizontal and vertical component. If we neglect the effect of air resistance, the horizontal component is constant. But the vertical component is always decreasing at the rate of 9.8 m/s each second. To illustrate this, let the initial velocity be 49 m/s and the initial angle be 30˚. Horizontal component = 49 * cos 30, Vertical = 49 * sin 30 = 24.5 m/s As the ball rises from the ground to its maximum height, its vertical velocity decreases from 24.5 m/s to 0 m/s. As the ball falls from its maximum height to the ground, its vertical velocity decreases from 0 m/s to -24.5 m/s. Since the distance it rises is equal to the distance it falls, the time that it is rising is equal to the time it is falling. This means the total time is equal to twice the time it is falling. This is the reason that the shape of the ball's path is an inverted parabola. At the maximum height, the ball is moving horizontally. If you do a web search for projectile motion, you will see graphs illustrating this.
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
These waves cause side to side movement?
These are called s waves (secondary waves) while p waves move up and down s waves move side to side
What angles does an s wave move?
Secondary waves, or S waves move from side to side, or up and down.
What damage do p waves cause?
P waves typically cause little to no damage when it comes to buildings, because buildings are usually built to withhold a back-and-forth motion (being the most common motion). I hope this helps. :)
Which is stronger p waves or s waves?
S-Waves are stronger. They are slower but can move through solids.
These move through earth by causing particles to move at right angles to the waves direction?
S Waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p waves and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Which waves are more destructive p waves or s waves?
s waves I think because they move from side to side and they knock over buildings.
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Which letters in the alphabet have both a vertical line of symmetry and a horizontal line of symmetry?
O, l, S, Z
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
