The correct answer is 2.2 km/s

Earthquake is a natural disaster when the tectonic plates of the Earth starts vibrating. The speed of earthquake is the velocity by which the waves will vibrate the Earth.

Given,

Wavelength λ= 13 km

Frequency f = 10 times/min

it vibrates 10 times each minute

so the frequency is defined by the number of vibrations per second

f = 10 per minute

f = 10/60

now the speed of wave is defined as

v = λ * f

v = 13 * (1/6)

v = 2.2 km/s

Therefore the speed at which the wave of earthquake having wavelength 13 km causes the ground to vibrate is 2.2 km/s.

Keeping the mass at 1.0 kg and the velocity at 10.0 m/s, record the magnitude of centripetal acceleration for each given radius
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m = 50 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m = 25 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m = 16.67 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m = 12.5 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m = 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 1 kg

velocity of the object, v = 10 m/s

different values of the radius, 2.0 m 4.0 m 6.0 m 8.0 m 10.0 m

The centripetal acceleration for the first radius; 2.0 m

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\a_c_1= \frac{(10)^2}{2} \\\\a_c_1= 50 \ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration for the second radius; 4.0 m

a_c_2= \frac{(10)^2}{4} \\\\a_c_2= 25 \ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration for the third radius; 6.0 m

a_c_3= \frac{(10)^2}{6} \\\\a_c_3= 16.67 \ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration for the fourth radius; 8.0 m

a_c_4= \frac{(10)^2}{8} \\\\a_c_4= 12.5 \ m/s^2

The centripetal acceleration for the fifth radius; 10.0 m

a_c_5= \frac{(10)^2}{10} \\\\a_c_5= 10 \ m/s^2

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25
zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.


If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.
