Why is a minimum of three seismic stations needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake?

Physics

vazorg [7]3 years ago
5 0

Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.

Use the mass spectrum of europium to determine the atomic mass of europium. where the peak representing eu-151 has an exact mass
slavikrds [6]

Answer: The atomic mass of a Europium atom is 151.96445 amu.

From the given information:

Percent intensity is 91.61% of Europium atom of molecular weight 150.91986 amu.

Percent intensity is 100.00% of Europium atom of molecular weight 152.92138 amu.

Abundance of Eu-151 atom:

X_{Eu-151}=\frac{0.9161}{0.9161+1.000}=0.4781

Abundance of Eu-153 atom:

X_{Eu-153}=\frac{1.000}{0.9161+1.000}=0.5219

Atomic mass of Europium atom:

A=(X_{Eu-151}\times150.91986+X_{Eu-153}\times152.92138)amu\\A=(0.4781\times150.91986+0.5219\times152.92138)amu=151.96445 amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of a Europium atom is 151.96445 amu.

A 1.0-kg block of aluminum is at a temperature of 50°C. How much thermal energy will it lose when its temperature is reduced by
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

22425 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Thermal Energy, c = specific heat capacity of aluminium, m = mass of aluminium, t₂ = Final Temperature, t₁ = Initial Temperature.

Given: c = 897 J/kg.K, m = 1.0 kg, t₁ = 50 °C, t₂ = 25 °C (The final temperature is reduced by half)

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 897×1×(25-50)

Q = 897×(-25)

Q = -22425 J

Hence the thermal energy lost by the aluminium is 22425 J
