r₁ = distance of the point from the source = 43 km = 43000 m

I₁ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₁" = 2.5 x 10⁶ W/m²

r₂ = distance of the point from the source = 1.5 km = 1500 m

I₂ = intensity of earthquake wave at distance "r₂" = ?

we know that , for a constant power , the intensity of wave is inversely proportional to the distance from the source .

I α 1/r²             where I = intensity of wave , r = distance from source

hence we can write

I₁/I₂ = r₂²/r₁²

inserting the values

(2.5 x 10⁶) /I₂ = (1500/43000)²

I₂ = 2.1 x 10⁹ W/m²

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W
Maslowich

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000  which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

t=10^{17-(-24)}

t=10^{17+24}

<u><em>t=10⁴¹ s</em></u>

So <u><em>10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.</em></u>

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
elena55 [62]
<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.
