An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of the

transverse and longitudinal waves in rock are 8.8 km/s and 5.9 km/s respectively. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 69 s before that of the longitudinal waves. Assuming the waves travel in straight lines, how far away is the center of the earthquake

Answer:

1239.216 km

Explanation:

The speed of the transverse = 8.8km/s

The speed of the longitudinal = 5.9km/s

distance = speed x time,

8.8km/s x trans_time = 5.9km/s x long_time

8.8 / 5.9 = long_time / trans_time

1.49 = long_time / trans_time

long_time = 1.49 trans_time

the transverse wave was 69s faster than longitudinal,

trans_time - long_time = 69s

trans_time - 1.49trans_time  = 69s

0.49 trans_time = 69

trans_time = 69 / 0.49 = 140.82s

long_time = 140.82 - 69 = 71.82s

the distance of the earthquake;

distance = 8.8 x 140.82 = 1239.216 km

Which of these systems is an oscillator? A. A barrel rolling down the hill B. A child sitting on a swing a skater falling on the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option B:

A child sitting on a swing.

Explanation:

When we hear the word oscillator, a good example is the pendulum bob of a grandfather clock. We can picture the motion to get a perfect understanding of its path of motion and relate it to other systems of motion in our everyday life.

An oscillator is a system that moves in such a way that it reverses its direction after a period of time. It can be seen as a "to-and-fro" motion.

From the options, a child sitting on a swing is the perfect example of an oscillating system because the child will be moving forwards and backwards, alternately reversing the direction of motion with time.

Roller coasters accelerates from initial speed of 6.0 M/S2 final speed of 70 M/S over four seconds. What is the acceleration?
choli [55]

Answer:

a=16\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The formula to calculate the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

The roller coaster moves from vo=6 m/s to vf=70 m/s in t=4 seconds. To calculate the acceleration, solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{70-6}{4}=\frac{64}{4}

\boxed{a=16\ m/s^2}

Use the equation for magnetic force on a moving charge to derive the equation for magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Sho
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The formula comes from Lorentz force law which includes both the electric and magnetic field. If the electric field is zero, the force law for just the magnetic field is <u>F=q(ν×B</u>) . Here, F  is force and is a vector because the force acts in a direction.  q  is the charge of the particle.  v  is velocity and is a vector because the particle is moving in some direction.  B is the magnetic flux density.

We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd.  Since the magnitude of B is constant at every line element of the loop (circle) and it dot product with the line element is B dl everywhere, therefore

                                                  ∮B dl=μ0 I

                                                  B ∮dl=μ0 I

                                                  B 2πr=μ0 I

                                                   B=μ02πr Id=μ0/4π I dl×rr3

Since, r can be written as r=(rcosθ,rsinθ,z) and dl as dl=(dl,0,0) And now, if we take the cross product we would get

                                               dl×r=−z dlj^+rsinθk^

and therefore the magnitude of dB is equal to

dB=μ0/4π I |dl×r|/r3=μ0/4π I z2+r2sin2θ−−−−−−−−−−√dl/r3

Thus, magnetic field is depending on r,θ,z.

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.
