Answer;

B.focus

The point beneath the surface where rock breaks and an earthquake is produced is known as the focus.

Explanation;

When an earthquake occurs an area of the crust will move very suddenly and with a great release of energy. The point of the actual rock rupture is called the focus . The focus is usually found far beneath the surface. The point directly above the focus on the surface of the Earth is called the epicenter.

When the rocks move suddenly they will produce waves in the Earth's crust. These waves move out in all directions and can produce widespread damage on the Earth's surface.

What is wavelength ?

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of wavelength. The Greek letter lambda () is frequently used to represent wavelength. The term wavelength is also occasionally used to refer to modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 63.0 cm and a mass of 1.75 kg. Assume that the wheel is a hoop with all of the mass concentrat

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

F2 = 834 N

Explanation:

We are given the following for the bicycle;

Diameter; d1 = 63 cm = 0.63 m

Mass; m = 1.75 kg

Resistive force; F1 = 121 N

For the sprocket, we are given;

Diameter; d2 = 8.96 cm = 0.0896 m

Radius; r2 = 0.0896/2 = 0.0448 m

Radial acceleration; α = 4.4 rad/s²

Now moment of inertia of the wheel which is assumed to be a hoop is given by; I = m(r1)²

Where r1 = (d1)/2 = 0.63/2

r1 = 0.315 m

Thus, I = 1.75 × 0.315²

I = 0.1736 Kg.m²

The torque is given by the relation;

I•α = F1•r1 - F2•r2

Where F2 is the force that must be applied by the chain to give the wheel an acceleration of 4.40 rad/s².

Thus;

0.1736 × 4.4 = (121 × 0.315) - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.76384 = 38.115 - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.0448F2 = 38.115 - 0.76384

>> F2 = (38.115 - 0.76384)/0.0448

>> F2 = 833.73 N

Approximately; F2 = 834 N

Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. Honeybees are able to sense electri

Vilka [71]

Answer:

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the electric field expression

E = k q / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant that is equal to 9 109 N m² /C², q the charge and r the distance to the point of interest positive test charge, in this case the distance to the bee

let's calculate the field for each charge

Q = 24 pC = 24 10⁻¹² C

E₁ = 9 10⁹ 24 10⁻¹² / 0.20²

E₁ = 5.4 N / C

Q = 32 pC = 32 10⁻¹² C

E₂ = 9 10⁹ 32 10⁻¹² / 0.2²

E₂ = 7.2 N / C

let's find the difference between these two fields

ΔE = E₂ -E₁

ΔE = 7.2 - 5.4

ΔE = 1.8 N / C

the minimum detection field is

E_minimum = 0.77 N / C

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference
