Answer:d. Ground waves

Explanation:A P-wave is one of the two main types of seismic waves. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph

Answer:

The correct options are A and C.

Explanation :

When there is a sudden release of energy due to earthquake or any type of explosion inside the earth, then this energy is transferred in the form of waves called Seismic Waves.

Seismograph helps us to measure these waves. These seismic waves can be categorized as Body Waves and Surface Wave.

Body Waves propagate inside the earth in all directions, and are further classified as Primary Waves (P-Waves) and Secondary Waves (S-Waves).The Surface Waves move along the earth’s surface, like the ripples on water surface.

Three charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3 are located in a straight line. The position of Q2 is 0.301 m to the right of Q1. Q3 is located 0.

Alexxx [7]

Answer and Explanation: A charge exerts a force over another charge even if they are very far apart. This force is called Electrostatic Force.

If the two charges have the same sign, e.g. both aare positive, the force between them is opposite. If they have opposite sign, the force is towards each other. In other words, for electrostatic force, equal charges repel and different charges attract.

So,

1. If Q2 and Q3 have opposite signs, it is TRUE force in Q2 will go the left;

2. If the 2 are negative, they have the same sign, so it's FALSE force is to the right;

Sentences 3 and 4 are also TRUE due to the reasons described above;

5. If the charges have opposite signs, it means force is towards each other, or, to the right, so the sentence is TRUE;

1. Force is directly proportional to charges in Coulomb [C] and inversely proportional to distance squared in [m]:

$F=\frac{k.q.Q}{r^{2}}$

where k is a constant that equals 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Calculating force between 1 and 2:

$F_{12}=\frac{9.10^{9}(1.9.10^{-6})(2.84.10^{-6})}{(0.301)^{2}}$

$F_{12}=536.02.10^{-3}$ N

Force between 2 and 3:

$F_{23}=\frac{9.10^{9}(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(0.169)^{2}}$

$F_{23}=2711.63.10^{-3}$ N

Total force is the net force. Since Q2 is negative and the others are positive, force of 2 related to 1 is to left and related to 3 is to the right. Therefore, total force is the difference between those two forces:

$F_{T}=2711.63.10^{-3}-536.02.10^{-3}$

$F_{T}=2175.61.10^{-3}$ N

The total force on Q2 is 2175.61 x 10⁻³ N

2. For net force to be 0, $F_{13}=F_{23}$ . Suppose distance from 1 to 3 is x, then from 2 to 3 is $x-0.301$

Calculating:

$\frac{k(1.90.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{x^{2}}=\frac{k(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(x-0.301)^{2}}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{x^{2}} =\frac{8.6052.10^{-12}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{8.6052.10^{-12}}=\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$x^{2}=0.67x^{2}-0.40x+0.061$

$0.33x^{2}+0.40x-0.061=0$

roots = 0.14 or -1.35

Solving quadratic equation gives 2 roots, but one of the roots is negative. As distance is a measure that cannot be negative, the solution is x = 0.14.

The distance of Q3 relative to Q1 is 0.14 m

Determine if the data are qualitative, quantitative, or neither. Zinc is a silver-gray metal. Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L.

AysviL [449]

Qualitative data gives the information of quality which can not be measured in numbers. For example: Color of eyes, softness of skin.

Quantitative data is information of quantity that can be represented in numbers. For example length and mass of any object.

Zinc is a silver-gray metal is a qualitative data, here silver gray color is quality of zinc metal which can not be measured in numbers.

Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L is a quantitative data. The value of density can be compared with other elements by comparing the numbers.

Gallium is not found in nature is neither qualitative nor quantitative.

Nitrogen has a melting point of –210.00 °C is a quantitative data because this is expressed in numbers.

Aluminum is a solid is a qualitative data because it tells about the state of element which can not be measured in numbers.

A factory worker pushes a crate of mass 31.0 kg a distance of 4.35 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizon

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a. 79.1 N

b. 344 J

c. 344 J

d. 0 J

e. 0 J

Explanation:

a. Since the crate has a constant velocity, its net force must be 0 according to Newton's 1st law. The push force $F_p$ by the worker must be equal to the friction force $F_f$ on the crate, which is the product of friction coefficient μ and normal force N:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

$F_p = F_f = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.26 * 31 * 9.81 = 79.1 N$

b. The work is done on the crate by this force is the product of its force $F_p$ and the distance traveled s = 4.35

$W_p = F_ps = 79.1*4.35 = 344 J$

c. The work is done on the crate by friction force is also the product of friction force and the distance traveled s = 4.35

$W_f = F_fs = -79.1*4.35 = -344 J$

This work is negative because the friction vector is in the opposite direction with the distance vector

d. As both the normal force and gravity are perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by those forces is 0. In other words, these forces do not make any work.

e. The total work done on the crate would be sum of the work done by the pushing force and the work done by friction

$W_p + W_f = 344 - 344 = 0 J$
