Answer:
1. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.
2. potential energy
3. Newton's second law of motion is F = ma, or force is equal to mass times acceleration.
4. Refraction is the bending of light
5. Density uses the formula p=m/V, or density (p) is equal to mass (m) divided by volume (V). Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
Explanation:
To bring something to a stop the same force that was applied to speed it up can be used to stop it. If a greater force is used it will stop quicker.
<span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400
This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.
Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.
Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600
This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.
Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)
The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.
x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>
Answer:
270 m/s²
Explanation:
Given:
α = 150 rad/s²
ω = 12.0 rad/s
r = 1.30 m
Find:
a
The acceleration will have two components: a radial component and a tangential component.
The tangential component is:
at = αr
at = (150 rad/s²)(1.30 m)
at = 195 m/s²
The radial component is:
ar = v² / r
ar = ω² r
ar = (12.0 rad/s)² (1.30 m)
ar = 187.2 m/s²
So the magnitude of the total acceleration is:
a² = at² + ar²
a² = (195 m/s²)² + (187.2 m/s²)²
a = 270 m/s²
Answer: 17.83 AU
Explanation:
According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>
(1)
Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u>
of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u>
of its orbit.
However, if
is measured in <u>years</u>, and
is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth:
), equation (1) becomes:
(2)
This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.
Knowing
and isolating

Finally:
