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

1 answer:

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.

A glass capillary tube with a diameter of 8.5 mm and length 8 cm is filled with a salt solution with a resistivity of 2.5 ?m. Wh

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The resistance is $3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega$

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of tube = 8.5 mm

Length = 8 cm

Resistivity = 2.5 m

We need to calculate the resistance

The resistance is equal to the product of the resistivity and length divided by the area of cross section .

In mathematical form,

$R = \dfrac{\rho\times l}{A}$

Where, $\rho$ =resistivity

l = length

A = area of cross section

Put the value into the formula

$R = \dfrac{2.5\times8\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(\dfrac{8.5}{2}\times10^{-3})^2}$

$R=3526.32\ \Omega$

$R=3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega$

Hence, The resistance is $3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega$

A skateboarder is moving 5.25 m/s when he starts to roll up a frictionless hill. How much higher is he when his velocity has red

Taya2010 [7]

Mechanical energy E = mgh + 1/2mv²

When he starts, let h = 0 ⇒ E₁ = 1/2mv₁²
When he reaches height h ⇒ E₂ = mgh + 1/2mv₂²

Without friction, energy is conserved at all times.

E₁ = E₂
↓
1/2mv₁² = mgh + 1/2mv₂²
↓
1/2v₁² = gh + 1/2v₂²
↓
gh = 1/2(v₁² - v₂²)
↓
h = (v₁² - v₂²) / (2g)
