The difference in ________ of p and s waves provides a method for determining the epicenter of an earthquake.

Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 8.00 m apart. If they shake it t

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two crests = 8 m

The distance between the two crests is called wavelength.

So, wavelength, λ = 8 m

frequency = 2 Hz

Let v be the velocity of wave.

v = f x λ

v = 2 x 8

v = 16 m/s

Describe how an oscilloscope should be used to measure the frequency of the sound wave from the sonometer

ratelena [41]

Answer:

T = reading (cm) time base (s / cm)

f = 1 / T

Explanation:

An oscilloscope is a piece of equipment that allows you to visualize and measure a wave that reaches you, in the case of having a sonometer this transforms the sound wave into an electrical signal to be introduced through one of the voltage channels of the equipment, on the screen we will see the oscillating alternating signal, if it is fixed we can make the reading, if it is moving the time base and the trigger must be adjusted to stop it.

In the oscilloscope we can read the period of the signal, this is the time it takes for the signal to repeat itself with this value, we can calculate the frequency with the formula, for the reading of the period the distance is measured on the labeled screen and multiplied by the time base

T = reading (cm) time base (s / cm)

f = 1 / T

20 POINTS 20 POINTS On a bright sunny day you decide to take a walk. You begin at your home and walk 1000 meters to an ice cream

Kay [80]

Answer:

A) Total Distance = 2000 m and Total displacement = 0 m

B) Average Speed = 44.44 m/min and Average Velocity = 0 m/min

C) Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s and Average velocity = 0 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance to reach ice cream shop from home = 1000 meters

Therefore distance to get back home would also be 1000 meters.

Total distance traveled = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 metres

Since journey started at home and ended at home, then total displacement = 0 metres.

B) Average speed = Total distance/total time.

Total time = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 minutes

Since total distance = 2000 m

Then;

Average speed = 2000/45

Average speed = 44.44 m/min

Average velocity = Total displacement/total time

Average velocity = 0/45 = 0 m/min

C) We now want answers in B to be in m/s.

Total time = 45 minutes.

From conversion, 60 seconds make 1 minute. Thus, 45 minutes = 45 × 60 = 2700 seconds

Thus;

Average Speed = 2000/2700

Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s

Average displacement = 0/2700 = 0 m/s

The density of ice is 0.93 g/cm3. what is the volume, in cm3, of a block of ice whose mass is 5.00 kg? remember to select an ans

serious [3.7K]

The Volume of the ice block is 5376.344 cm^3.

The density of a material is define as the mass per unit volume.

Here, the density of ice given is 0.93 g/cm^3

Mass of the ice block given is 5 kg or 5000 g

Now calculate the volume of the ice block

density=mass/volume

0.93=5000/Volume

Volume =5376.344 cm^3

Therefore the volume of ice block is 5376.344 cm^3
