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.

Katen [24]

Answer:

S = V t     where S is the horizontal distance traveled

1/2 g t^2 = H       where H is the vertical distance traveled

t^2 = 2 H / g

V^2 = S^2 / t^2 = S^2 g / (2 H) combining equations

tan theta = H / S

V^2 = S g / (2 tan theta)

Using S = L cos theta

V^2 = L g cos theta / (2 tan theta)

Giving V in terms of L and theta

Suppose that the hatch on the side of a Mars lander is built and tested on Earth so that the internal pressure just balances the
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The value is  F_{net} =  4444 lb

The force will be  outward

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the disk is  d = 50.0 \ cm  = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5 \ m

   The external pressure on Mars  is P = 650 \ N/m^2

From the question we are told that  

   Internal pressure  =  External pressure

Generally the external Force on earth is

      F_E = P_{atm} * A

Here P_{atm} is the atmospheric pressure with value  P_{atm} = 1.013*10^{5}\ Pa

So

      F_E = 1.013 *10^{5} * \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}

=>   F_E = 1.013 *10^{5} *3.142 * \frac{0.50 ^2}{4}

=>   F_E = 19893 \  N

Generally the external Force on Mars is  

       F= P * A

      F = 650 * \pi * \frac{d^2}{4}

=>   F = 650 *3.142 * \frac{0.5^2}{4}

=>   F = 127.6 \  N    

Net force is mathematically represented as

      F_{net} = F_E -F

=>    F_{net} =  19893  -127.6

=>    F_{net} =  19765.6 \ Nconverting to  pounds

    F_{net} = \frac{19765.6}{4.448}

=> F_{net} =  4444 lb

Given that that the value is positive then the force will be  outward

You would like a pendulum that swings back and forth once every 2 seconds, but the one you have swings once every 1.9 seconds. W
patriot [66]

Your pendulum does a complete swing in 1.9 seconds.  You want to SLOW IT DOWN so it takes 2.0 seconds.

Longer pendulums swing slower.

You need to <em>make your pendulum slightly longer</em>.

If your pendulum is hanging by a thread or a thin string, then its speed doesn't depend at all on the weight at the bottom.  You can add weight or cut some off, and it won't change the speed a bit.

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. (a) For what orientation of the loop is the magnetic flux a maximum? The p
ra1l [238]

Answer:

1) The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

2) The magnetic flux is independent of the orientation of the loop.p

Explanation:

The flux is calculated as φ=BAcosθ. The flux is therefore the highest when the magnetic field vector is perpendicular to the plane of the loop We can also deduce that the flux is zero when there is no magnetic field part perpendicular to the loop When the angle reaches zero, the flux is in the limit because when the angle becomes zero, the cos is the maximum.
