Which of the three recording stations was closest to the epicenter of the earthquake, based on the seismograms shown below?

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?

Alexxx [7]

I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.

A hot air balloon is moving vertically upwards at a velocity of 3m/s. A sandbag is dropped when the balloon reaches 150m. How lo

gregori [183]

This is a perfect opportunity to stuff all that data into the general equation for the height of an object that has some initial height, and some initial velocity, when it is dropped into free fall.

   H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)

Height at any time 'T' after the drop =

(initial height) +
      (initial velocity) x (T) +
   (1/2) x (acceleration) x (T²) .

For the balloon problem ...

-- We have both directions involved here, so we have to define them:

   Upward = the positive direction

   Initial height = +150 m
   Initial velocity = + 3 m/s

   Downward = the negative direction

   Acceleration (of gravity) = -9.8 m/s²

Height when the bag hits the ground = 0 .

   H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)

   0 = (150m) + (3m/s T) + (1/2 x -9.8 m/s² x T²)

   -4.9 T² + 3T + 150 = 0

Use the quadratic equation:

   T = (-1/9.8) [ -3 plus or minus √(9 + 2940) ]

   = (-1/9.8) [ -3 plus or minus 54.305 ]

   = (-1/9.8) [ 51.305 or -57.305 ]

      T = -5.235 seconds or 5.847 seconds .

(The first solution means that the path of the sandbag is part of
the same path that it would have had if it were launched from the
ground 5.235 seconds before it was actually dropped from balloon
while ascending.)

Concerning the maximum height ... I don't know right now any other
easy way to do that part without differentiating the big equation.
So I hope you've been introduced to a little bit of calculus.

H(t) = (H₀) + (v₀ T) + (1/2 a T²)

   H'(t) = v₀ + a T

The extremes of 'H' (height) correspond to points where h'(t) = 0 .

Set    v₀ + a T = 0

+3 - 9.8 T = 0

Add 9.8 to each side: 3   = 9.8 T

Divide each side by 9.8 :   T = 0.306 second

That's the time after the drop when the bag reaches its max altitude.

Oh gosh ! I could have found that without differentiating.

- The bag is released while moving UP at 3 m/s .

- Gravity adds 9.8 m/s of downward speed to that every second.
So the bag reaches the top of its arc, runs out of gas, and starts
falling, after
   (3 / 9.8) = 0.306 second .

At the beginning of that time, it's moving up at 3 m/s.
At the end of that time, it's moving with zero vertical speed).
Average speed during that 0.306 second = (1/2) (3 + 0) = 1.5 m/s .

Distance climbed during that time = (average speed) x (time)

   = (1.5 m/s) x (0.306 sec)

   = 0.459 meter (hardly any at all)

   But it was already up there at 150 m when it was released.

It climbs an additional 0.459 meter, topping out at 150.459 m,
then turns and begins to plummet earthward, where it plummets
to its ultimate final 'plop' precisely 5.847 seconds after its release.

We can only hope and pray that there's nobody standing at
Ground Zero at the instant of the plop.

I would indeed be remiss if were to neglect, in conclusion,
to express my profound gratitude for the bounty of 5 points
that I shall reap from this work. The moldy crust and tepid
cloudy water have been delicious, and will not soon be forgotten.

A force of 100N is applied to an area of 100mm².what is the pressure exerted on the area in N/m².

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

P = 1000000[Pa] = 1000 [kPa]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of pressure, which is equal to the relationship of force over area.

$P=F/A$
