Genrish500 [490]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Material's density

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel at different rates of speed based on a material's density. Hopefully, you understand that the Earth has three main layers: the crust, mantle, and core. Earthquake waves move faster through solids.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.

Aparticlewhosemassis2.0kgmovesinthexyplanewithaconstantspeedof3.0m/s along the direction r = i + j . What is its angular momentu
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}

Explanation:

In order to calculate the angular momentum of the particle you use the following formula:

\vec{L}=\vec{r}\ X\ \vec{p}       (1)

r is the position vector respect to the point (0 , 5.0), that is:

r = 0m i + 5.0m j    (2)

p is the linear momentum vector and it is given by:

\vec{p}=m\vec{v}=(2.0kg)(3.0m/s)(\hat{i+\hat{j}})=6\frac{kgm}{s}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})   (3)

the direction of p comes from the fat that the particle is moving along the i + j direction.

Then, you use the results of (2) and (3) in the equation (1) and solve for L:

\vec{L}=-30\frac{kgm^2}{s}\hat{k}

The angular momentum is -30 kgm^2/s ^k
