Answer:
The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s
speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s
The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;
Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁
then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.
v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)
v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂
v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂
t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂
The distance traveled is given by;
Δx = v₁t₁
Δx = (8.5)(132)
Δx = 1122 km
Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Answer: B. The copper wire (resistance 0.1)
Explanation: When resistance is in parallel, voltage (V) is the same but current is different for every resistance. Current (i) is related to voltage and resistance (R) by <em>Ohm's Law</em>
i =
So, since both wires are in parallel, they have the same voltage but because the copper wire resistance is smaller than Nichrome wire, the first's current will be bigger.
Every resistor in a circuit dissipates electrical power (P) that is converted into heat energy. The dissipation can be found by:
P =
As current for copper wire is bigger than nichrome, power will be bigger and it will dissipate more heat.
In conclusion, the copper wire will dissipate more heat when connected in parallel.
