an earthquake 45 km from a city produces p and s waves that ravel outward at 5000 and 3000 m/s, respectively. once city resident

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

A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

(c) Us ethe conservation of energy

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V
