Answer:

The answer is

A. Switch

Explanation:

A switch is a device for making and breaking current in an electric circuit, it is mostly made of a non conducting material to prevent the user from being electrocuted, switches comes in range of types depending on the area of applications.

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se

Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 2.70 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realiz

Katen [24]

Answer:

The velocity is $v = 6.66 \ m/s$

Henrietta is at distance $s= 18.17 \ m$ from the under the window

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of Henrietta is $v= 2.70 \ m/s$

The height of the window from the ground is $h = 36.5 \ m$

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach the ground assuming it fell directly under the window is

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * h }{g} }$

=> $t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 36.5 }{9,8} }$

=> $t = 2.73 \ s$

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach Henrietta is mathematically represented as

$T = t + t_1$

Here $t_1$ is the time duration that elapsed after Henrietta has passed below the window the value is given as 4 s

Now

$T = 2.73 + 4$

=> $T = 6.73 \ s$

Generally the distance covered by Henrietta before catching her lunch is

$s= v * T$

=> $s= 2.70 * 6.73$

=> $s= 18.17 \ m$

Generally the speed with which Bruce threw her lunch is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{18.17}{2.73}$

$v = 6.66 \ m/s$

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

$d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km$

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}$

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min
