The intensity of an earthquake wave passing through the earth is measured to be 2.5×106 j/(m2⋅s) at a distance of 43 km from the

source what was its intensity when it passed a point only 1.5 km from the source?

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

Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore,  here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.
Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

P = \frac{W}{t}

W= F*s

Therefore,

P=\frac{F*s}{t}

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time

F = 124 N,s = 32.0 m,t = 8.0 s

P =\frac{W*s}{t} =\frac{124N*22.0s}{8.0s} =496 W

Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes.  But
water does contract in volume during that change.)
