if a scientist is comparing two different earthquake waves and notices that the amplitude is the same for both, but earthquake 1

has a higher frequency than earthquake 2,what conclusion can he make about the overall energy of the earthquake waves ?

Explain how a compass works using scientific terminology.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.

Answer:

Just as the angles of the sun, moon and Earth affect tidal heights over the course of a lunar month, so do their distances to one another. Because the moon follows an elliptical path around the Earth, the distance between them varies by about 31,000 miles over the course of a month.

A 24 kg child slides down a 3.3-m-high playground slide. She starts from rest, and her speed at the bottom is 3.0 m/s.a. What en

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) Potential energy of the child is converted into the kinetic energy at the bottom off the slide and a part of which is lost into friction generating heat between the contact surfaces.

(b) $U=668.16\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the child, $m=24\ kg$

height of the slide, $h=3.3\ m$

initial velocity of the child at the slide, $v_i=0 m.s^{-1}$

final velocity of the child at the bottom of slide, $v_f=3\ m.s^{-1}$

(a)

∴The initial potential energy of the child is converted into the kinetic energy at the bottom off the slide and a part of which is lost into friction generating heat between the contact surfaces.

Initial potential energy:

$PE=m.g.h$

$PE=24\times 9.8\times 3.3$

$PE=776.16\ J$

Kinetic energy at the bottom of the slide:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$KE= 0.5\times 24\times 3^2$

$KE= 108\ J$

(b)

Now, the difference in the potential and kinetic energy is the total change in the thermal energy of the slide and the seat of her pants.

This can be given as:

$U=PE-KE$

$U=776.16-108$

$U=668.16\ J$
