The separation in time between the arrival of primary and secondary wave is called LAG TIME.
The time difference between the arrival of primary wave and secondary wave in a seismogram is called lag time. The primary wave always travels faster than the secondary wave, thus the difference between the two can be obtained by estimating the difference between the arrival time of the two waves/.

A block lies on a plane raised an angle θ from the horizontal. Three forces act upon the block: F⃗ w, the force of gravity; F⃗ n
Verdich [7]

Answer:

YFy = 0 = Ffsinθ + Fncosθ - Fw

Explanation:

From the base of the vector Fn, draw a vertical line. the small angle between this line and Fn is also theta. The component of Fn in the vertical direction is Fncos(theta).

Take a moment to picture extreme cases. Sine is 0 at 0 and 1 at 90. Cosine is 1 at 0 and 0 at 90.

A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to
nordsb [41]

Answer:

v = 24 m/s, rightwards

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg

It explodes into two pieces.

One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to  the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.

The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,

5\times 0=2\times (-36)+3\times v\\\\-72=-3v\\\\v=24\ m/s

So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.

A man wishes to lift a stone weighing 1440 N, using a first-class lever that measures 5 meters. What force should it perform if
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3360 N

Explanation:

In a first-class lever, the effort force and load force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.

The lever is 5 m long.  The load force is 1.50 m from the fulcrum, so the effort force must be 3.50 m from the fulcrum.

The torques are equal:

Fr = Fr

(1440 N) (3.5 m) = F (1.5 m)

F = 3360 N

in a 4 kilometer race, a runner completes the first kilometer in 5.9 minutes, the second kilometer in 6.2 minutes, the third kil
ohaa [14]
To find the average of data collected, add all of the measurements: 5.9+6.2+6.3+6= 12.2

Then, divide the total amount by the number of data collected which is 4: 12.2/4= 3.05

The average speed of the runner of the race is approximately 3.05 km/min

Feel free to ask me any other questions you might have :)
