By the velocity, the interval time after the p wave arrived is 6 seconds.

We need to know about velocity to solve this problem. Velocity can be determined as the distance traveled divided by time interval. It can be written as

v = s / t

where v is velocity, s is distance and t is the time interval.

From the question above, we know that.

vp = 5000 m/s

vs = 3000 m/s

s = 45 km = 45000 m

Determine the time taken by p wave

tp = s / vp

tp = 45000 / 5000

tp = 9 seconds

Determine the time taken by s wave

ts = s / vs

ts = 45000 / 3000

ts = 15 seconds

The time interval after p waves is

interval time = ts - tp

interval time = 15 - 9

interval time = 6 second

You are moving at a speed 2/3 c toward Randy when shines a light toward you. At what speed do you see the light approaching you
lord [1]

Answer:

The speed of light will be c=3x10^8m/s

Explanation:

This is the same as the speed of light because your speed does not affecttje speed of light so you will see the light approaching you at the same speed of light c

ingrid kicks a football with an initial velocity of 12 m/s at an angle 45 relative to the ground. what is the horizontal compone
nydimaria [60]

Let's assume that the coordinate system is defined as positive in the first quadrant.

The system has its origin in the place where Ingrid kicks the football ball.

We have then that the horizontal component is given by:

x = 12cos (45)

Rewriting we have:

x = 12 ( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\\x = 8.485281374

Rounding the obtained result we have:

x = 8.5 \frac{m}{s}

Answer:

The horizontal component of the initial velocity to the nearest tenth is:

x = 8.5 \frac{m}{s}

When a camera uses a flash, a fully charged capacitor discharges through an inductor. In what time must the 0.100-A current thro
Sonja [21]

When a camera uses a flash, a fully charged capacitor discharges through an inductor. In 4 * 10^{-7} seconds  must the 0.100-A current through a 2.00-mH inductor be switched on or off to induce a 500-V EMF.

When a Capacitor is connected to a circuit with Direct Current (DC) source, two processes, which are called "charging" and "discharging" the Capacitor

Given

Inductance = 2 m H

EMF = 500 V

Current = 0.100 A

EMF = L (di/dt)

\int\ \,dt =\int\ \, L di / EMF

t = L ( i / EMF )

time = 2 * 10^{-3} * 0.100 / 500

       =  4 * 10^{-7} seconds
