Data was used from three different stations. Where their data overlapped was where the epicenter was located.
it is called triangulation

If the pressure exerted on a 300.0 mL sample of hydrogen gas at constant temperature is increased from 0.500 kPa to 0.750 kPa, w

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

200 mL

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 300 mL

Initial pressure, P₁ = 0.5 kPa

Final pressure, P₂ = 0.75 kPa

We need to find the final volume of the sample if pressure is increased at constant temperature. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :

$V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

V₂ is the final volume

$V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{300\times 0.5}{0.75}\\\\V_2=200\ mL$

So, the final volume of the sample is 200 mL.

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!

What functions normally performed by the placenta would the hatchery have to perform so that the embryos survive

horrorfan [7]

The functions that would be performed both by the placenta and the hatchery so that the embryos will survive is to maintain the temperature of the embryos. The temperature should also be at the temperature where the embryos would thrive and develop.

You measure a watch's hour and minute hands to be 7.4 mm and 12.1 mm long, respectively. Part A In one day, by how much does the

pychu [463]

Answer:

109.385m

Explanation:

In 1 day, the hour hand travels 2 circles, or 4π rad in angular. The distance it travels is its angle times the radius

7.4 * 4π = 93 mm

In 1 day, the minute hand travels 24*60 = 1440 circles, or 1440 * 2π = 2880π rad in angular. The distance it travels is

12.1 * 2880π = 109478 mm

So the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand that exceed the distance traveled by the tip of the hour hand is

109478 - 93 = 109385 mm or 109.385 m
