Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you are to the focus?

1 answer:

8 0

The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.

How do you identify the zero reference position for calculating mechanical potential energy? What is the most common zero refere

ANTONII [103]

The zero reference position should be the position the system has the least potential energy. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Gravity's ability to do work (potential energy) reaches zero when it hits the ground and stops falling, hence the ground is the most common zero reference position.

A 1,103 kg car traveling at 18 m/s to the south collides with a 4,919 kg truck that is initially at rest at a stoplight. The car

Zigmanuir [339]

ANSWER

$3.30\text{ m/s}$

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of car, mc = 1103 kg

Mass of truck, mt = 4919 kg

Initial velocity of car, uc = 18 m/s

Inital velocity of truck = 0 m/s

To solve this problem, we have to apply the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system is constant.

This implies that:

$m_cu_c+m_tu_t=m_cv_c+m_tv_t$

Since the car and the truck stick together after the collision, they will have the same final velocity.

Hence:

$m_cu_c+m_tu_t=(m_c+m_t)v_{}_{}$

Substitute the given values and solve for v (final velocity):

$\begin{gathered} (1103\cdot18)+(4919\cdot0)=(1103+4919)v \\ \Rightarrow19854=6022v \\ \Rightarrow v=\frac{19854}{6022} \\ v=3.30\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

That is the final velocity of the two-vehicle mass.

An electron, starting from rest and moving with a constant acceleration, travels 2.0 cm in 5.0 ms. What is the magnitude of this

IrinaK [193]

s=2.7 centimeters = 0.027 meters
t=3.9 milliseconds = 0.0039 seconds

s=(1/2)a*t^2
so
a=(2.7*2)/(0.0039)^2
= 355,029.58 m/s^2

a=355,029.58 m/s^2 = 355.02958 km / s^2
