A seismographic station receives S and P waves from an earthquake, separated in time by 17.8 s. Assume the waves have traveled o

ver the same path at speeds of 4.50 km/s and 6.90 km/s. Find the distance from the seismograph to the focus of the quake.

Answer:

D = 230.2 Km

Explanation:

let distance between seismograph and focus of quake is D

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the S wave

T_1 =\frac{D}{4.5}

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the P wave

T_2 =\frac{D}{6.90}

It is given in equation both waves are seperated from each other by 17.8 sec

so we have

T_1 - T_2 = 17.8sec

Putting both time value to get distance value

\frac{D}{4.5} - \frac{D}{6.90} = 17.8

D = 230.2 Km

If a proton and an electron are released when they are 2.50×10^-10m apart (typical atomic distances), find the initial accelerat
katrin [286]

To solve this exercise, we will first proceed to calculate the electric force given by the charge between the proton and the electron (it). From the Force we will use Newton's second law that will allow us to find the acceleration of objects. The Coulomb force between two charges is given as

F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge of proton and electron

r = Distance

Replacing we have that,

F = (9*10^9)(\frac{(1.602*10^{-19})^2}{2.5*10^{-10}})

F = 3.6956*10^{-9}N

The force between the electron and proton is calculated. From Newton's third law the force exerted by the electron on proton is same as the force exerted by the proton on electron.

The acceleration of the electron is given as

a_e = \frac{F}{m_e}

a_e = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{9.11*10^{-31}}

a_e = 4.0566*10^{21}m/s^2

The acceleration of the proton is given as,

a_p = \frac{F}{m_p}

a_p = \frac{3.6956*10^{-9}}{1.672*10^{-27}}

a_p = 2.21*10^{18}m/s^2

A 850-kg sports car accelerates from rest to 95 km/h in 6.8 s .
swat32

From the calculations, the power expended is 43650 W.

<h3>What is the power expended?</h3>

Now we can find the acceleration from;

v = u + at

u = 0 m/s

v =  95 km/h or 26.4 m/s

t =  6.8 s

a = ?

Now

v = at

a = v/t

a = 26.4 m/s/ 6.8 s

a = 3.88 m/s^2

Force = ma = 850-kg * 3.88 m/s^2 = 3298 N

The distance covered is obtained from;

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = 2as

s = v^2/2a

s = (26.4)^2/2 * 3.88

s = 696.96/7.76

s = 90 m

Now;

Work = Fs

Work =  3298 N * 90 m = 296820 J

Power =  296820 J/ 6.8 s

= 43650 W

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons
