A seismographic station receives S and P waves from an earthquake, separated in time by 17.3 s. Assume the waves have traveled o

ver the same path at speeds of 4.50 km/s and 7.80 km/s. Find the distance from the seismograph to the focus of the quake.

Answer:

184 Km

Explanation:

given,

speed of S wave = 4.50 Km/s

speed of  P wave = 7.80 Km/s

reading time difference = 17.3 s

we know,

distance = speed x time

 time taken by s-wave

t_1 = \dfrac{x}{4.50}

time taken by the P-wave

t_2= \dfrac{x}{7.80}

now,

t₁ - t₂ = 17.3 s

\dfrac{x}{4.50}-\dfrac{x}{7.80} = 17.3 s

\dfrac{(7.80-4.50)x}{7.80\times 4.50} = 17.3

 3.3 x = 607.23

    x = 184 Km

distance of the focus from the station is 184 Km.

The answer would be Gravity.

Gravity is pulling the weight down, which is pulling the car up the ramp.

Answer:

7.328m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

height of table = 0.68m

final velocity of the ball = 6m/s

Unknown:

Initial velocity of ball = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to employ the appropriate motion equation.

We must understand that this fall occurs in the presence of gravity;

            V = U + 2gH

Where;

 V is the final velocity

 U is the initial velocity

 g is the acceleration due to gravity

 H is the height of the pool table

    Since U is the unknown, let us make it the subject of the expression;

           U = V - 2gH

        U = 6 - (2 x 9.8 x 0.68)  = 7.328m/s(deceleration)

Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 21.0 cm and carries a
Burka [1]

Solution :

a). B at the center :

     $=\frac{u\times I}{2R}$

Here, one of the current is in the clockwise direction and therefore, the other current must be in the clockwise direction in order to cancel out the effect of the magnetic field that is produced by the other.

Therefore, the answer is ANTICLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE

b). Also, the sum of the fields must be zero.

Therefore,

$\left(\frac{u\times I_1}{2R_1}\right) + \left(\frac{u\times I_2}{2R_2}\right) = 0$

So,

$\frac{I_1}{d_1}= \frac{I_2}{d_2}$

$=\frac{16}{21}=\frac{I_2}{32}$

$I_2=24.38 $ A

Therefore, the current in the outer wire is 24.38 ampere.

Pls help my science teacher is a horrible teacher...
Anettt [7]

First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
