How do scientists know what is below the Earth's surface?

Physics

GaryK [48]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Scientists learn about the layers deep within the Earth's crust by studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth. ... By looking at the time of arrival of the main set of waves, and how the frequencies of the waves are arranged within the set, scientists can learn about the density and other properties of the layers.

Explanation:

Just read above.

A car traveling 34 mi/h accelerates uniformly for 4 s, covering 615 ft in this time. What was its acceleration? Round your answe
Contact [7]

Answer:

51.94 ft/s²

257.63 ft/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 4 s

u = Initial velocity = 34 mi/h

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 615 ft

a = Acceleration

Converting velocity to ft/s

34\ mi/h=\frac{34\times 5280}{3600}=49.87\ ft/s

Equation of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow a=2\frac{s-ut}{t^2}\\\Rightarrow a=2\left(\frac{615-49.87\times 4}{4^2}\right)\\\Rightarrow a=51.94\ ft/s^2

Acceleration is 51.94 ft/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=49.87+51.94\times 4\\\Rightarrow v=257.63\ ft/s

Final velocity at this time is 257.63 ft/s

How much power should a braked 1.5t car have to be braked to reduce its speed from 30m / s to 10m / s in 5s?​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

-120000 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = ΔE / t

P = (½ mv₂² − ½ mv₁²) / t

P = m (v₂² − v₁²) / (2t)

Given m = 1.5 t = 1500 kg, v₂ = 10 m/s, v₁ = 30 m/s, and t = 5 s:

P = (1500 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (30 m/s)²) / (2 × 5 s)

P = -120000 W

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
