Which type of seismic wave can only pass through the earths mantle?

A 16 g rifle bullet traveling 240 m/s buries itself in a 3.6 kg pendulum hanging on a 2.5 m long string, which makes the pendulu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

x = 0.54 m

y = 0.058 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 16 g = 0.016 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision = 240 m/s

M = mass of the pendulum = 3.6 kg

L = length of the string = 2.5 m

h = height gained by the pendulum after collision

V = speed of the bullet and pendulum combination

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) V

(0.016) (240) = (0.016 + 3.6) V

V = 1.062 m/s

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by bullet and pendulum combination = Kinetic energy of bullet and pendulum combination

(m + M) g h = (0.5) (m + M) V²

(9.8) h = (0.5) (1.062)²

h = 0.058 m

y = vertical displacement = h = 0.058 m

x = horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement is given as

x = sqrt(L² - (L - h)²)

x = sqrt(2.5² - (2.5 - 0.058)²)

x = 0.54 m

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y / L

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

sin θ = y / L

we substitute

d y / L = m λ

λ = $\frac{d \ y}{m \ L}$

let's calculate

λ = $\frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }$

λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

λ = 451.7 nm

Density offers a convenient means of obtaining the mass of a body from its volume or vice versa; the mass is equal to the volume multiplied by the density (M = Vd), while the volume is equal to the mass divided by the density (V = M/d).

M = V d

M = 1.4 * 2 = 2.8 kg

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

$m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s$

$m _w=0.64 \ kg$

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

$W_w = m_w g$

$W_w = ( 0.64 \ kg )(9.80\ m \ /s^2)$

$W_w = 6.272 \ N$

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}$

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

$F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )$

$F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)$

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

$F_{scale$ = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N
