369 kg

Explanation:

Step 1:

We know that the expression for potential energy is

PE = mgh

where, m =Mass

            g = Acceleration due to gravity

            h Height

Step 2:

Here m = ?

         PE = 108486

         h = 30 m

          g = 9.8 ms⁻²

108486 = 30 * 9.86 * m

m= 108486 / (9.8*30) = 369 kg

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Which statement is true for particles of the medium of an earth quake p wave
katen-ka-za [31]
I am pretty sure that the only statement which  is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know,  it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.
