Why do the waves have different speeds in different layers of Earth's surface?

Physics
1 answer:
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.

A transformer with 1000 turns on the primary coil is used to decrease the voltage from 2500 V to 120 V for home use. How many tu
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The number of turns in the secondary coil is 48.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns on primary coil= 1000

Primary voltage = 2500 V

Secondary voltage = 120 v

We need to calculate the turns  in the secondary coil

Using relation between voltage and number of turns in primary and secondary coil

\dfrac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}=\dfrac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{120}{2500}=\dfrac{N_{s}}{1000}

N_{s}=\dfrac{120}{2500}\times1000

N_{s}=48\ turns

Hence, The number of turns in the secondary coil is 48.

G of potassium reacts with 16 g of oxygen to produce 94 g of potassium oxide
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

78g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen gas = 16g

Mass of potassium oxide = 94g

Unknown:

Mass of reacting potassium = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to obtain a balanced reaction equation. Then determine the number of moles of the reactant and use it to find that of the other one.

Balanced equation:

                      4K +   O₂   →    2K₂O

  Number of moles of reacting oxygen;

       Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of  O₂ = 2 x 16 = 32g/mole

     Number of moles = \frac{16}{32}  = 0.5mole

From the reaction equation;

          4 mole of K reacted with 1 mole of O₂;

           x mole of K will react with 0.5 mole of O₂

Therefore, 4 x 0.5 = 2 moles of potassium.

Mass of potassium = number of moles x molar mass

              Molar mass of potassium = 39g

Mass of potassium = 2 x 39 = 78g

A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.11 g and a charge of -21.0 nC . It is 10 cm directly above an identical sphere with the sam
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

A. the magnitude of the force between the spheres is 3.97 x 10⁻⁴ N

B. the magnitude of its initial acceleration is 5.83 m/s²

Explanation:

given information:

metal sphere's mass, m = 0.1 g = 1 x 10⁻⁴ kg

charge, q = -21 nC = -2.1 x 10⁻⁸

r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

What is the magnitude of the force between the spheres?

F₁₂ = k q₁q₂/r²

     = ( 9 x 10⁹) (-2.1 x 10⁻⁸)²/(0.1)²

     = 3.97 x 10⁻⁴ N

If the upper sphere is released, it will begin to fall. What is the magnitude of its initial acceleration?

mg - F₁₂ = ma

a = g - (F₁₂/m)

   = 9.8 - (3.97 x 10⁻⁴/1 x 10⁻⁴)

   = 5.83 m/s²
