Answer;

-Waves

Explanation;

-The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth.

-When seismometers are put on the surface of the Earth, these waves can be measured. In particular, if we have enough seismic stations and the quake is big enough, then we can take all the travel time information and invert it. That means we can obtain a graph that shows the density of rock as a function of depth.

-Once we know the density we can estimate what the actual materials are. We find that the earth has a small inner core made out of iron surrounded by a larger outer liquid iron core and that is surrounded by a rocky mantle and rocky crust.

There are four charges, each with a magnitude of 2.06 µC. Two are positive and two are negative. The charges are fixed to the co

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

$q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

Distance,d=0.41 m

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force, $F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2$

$F_1=F_3=F$

$F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2$

$F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2$

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}$

$F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

$F_{net}=0.208 N$

A person pulls a bucket of water up from a well with a rope. Assume the initial and final speeds of the bucket are zero (Vi-Vf-0

n200080 [17]

Answer:

This a closed system because the mass of the system is conserved

The energy system that undergoes change is the Potential energy system

The energy system diagram is shown on the first uploaded image

Work done = Change in gravitational potential energy

So solving algebraically for work done would be

Work done = $m*g*h$

where m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

and h is the height

Work done in terms of force and distance is = mg

where m is mass of bucket and

g is acceleration due to gravity

Explanation:

a) At the start, potential and kinetic energy were zero. so, energy is zero.

As the person pulls the bucket up, the potential energy becomes mgh.

so,final energy will be consisting of only potential energy.

B) Here work done is equal to change in gravitational potential energy.

W = $\Delta P.E$

W = m*g*h

where g = 9.9 m/ $s^2$

C) Work = force * distance

mgh = force * h

force = mg

force = weight of bucket

A rocket is fired at a 45° angle, what is the direction of the horizontal velocity vector at the peak height?

Bess [88]

Answer:

B: Horizontally to the left

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity is always constant throughout the entire trajectory of the rocket and acts in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched. This is because gravity only acts in the downwards vertical direction.

So in order words at peak height, horizontal velocity is in the horizontal direction in which the rocket was launched.

So if it was to the left, then direction is left but if right, then direction is right.

Looking at the options, the most appropriate will be:

Horizontally to the left

in a certain experiment, a radio transmitter emits sinusoidal electromagnetic waves of frequency 105.0 mhz in opposite direction

Romashka [77]

As a result, the hollow is 10.90 meters long and the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36 meters.

<h3>Explain electromagnetic waves.</h3>

The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves.

By definition, we understand that the frequency equals,

f = c/λ

where,

λ = wavelength

c= Speed of light

λ = 2L / n

While the wavelength is equal to,

Where,

L = Length

n = Number of antinodes/nodes

PART A) We know that the first component's wavelength is 110 MHz, so

λ = c/ f

λ = 3*10^8 / 11*10^6

λ = 1.36m

Therefore the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36m

PART B) For this part we need to find the Length through the number of nodes (8) and the wavelength, that is,

λ` = 2l /n

L = 8*2.72/ 2

L = 10.90m

Therefore the length of the cavity is 10.90m.
