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.

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of
viktelen [127]

Answer:

W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}

Put all the values,

U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

So, the work done is 2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J.

The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u
irinina [24]

Explanation :

The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:

Weight, (W)

Force due to air resistance, (F)

Upthrust force, (U)

Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.

In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.

so, a=0

and F=ma=0

so, W = F + U ....................(1)

when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so

(W-R) + F = U..........(2)

solving equation (1) and (2)

(W-R)+F=W-F

R=2F            

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.
