What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 7km/s and a frequency of 8hz

1 answer:

4 0

the wavelength formula is the frequency multiplication propagation velocity, do not forget to bring all the units into the international system

A Foucault pendulum consists of a brass sphere with a diameter of 31.0 cm suspended from a steel cable 11.0 m long (both measure

kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

$\alpha_b$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = $18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$\alpha_s$ = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = $11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C$

$L_{0b}$ = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

$L_{0s}$ = Initial length of steel = 11 m

$\Delta L$ = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

$\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C$

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

A box of weight 74 N is sliding on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity due to an external force F-> of magnitude 4.8

n200080 [17]

Answer

4.8 N

If the box is moving with a constant velocity, then we can say that the system is in equilibrium. This is because if the external force (F->) was greater than other forces the box would be accelerating. This tells us that this force (F->) is just enough to overcome friction and so it must be equal to 4.8 N.

The normal force has no effect to the horizontal velocities or forces. It is equal to -Weight. That is -74 N. The negative sign shows that the force is in opposite direction.
