Answer:

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = 8,748 × 10⁶

Explanation:

Given:

Distance (r1) = 54 km

Distance (r2) = 1 Km

Note:

Intensity of an earthquake with 54 km distance is 3.0 × 10⁶ J/m²s is not given.

So,

Intensity of an earthquake with 54 km distance (I₁) = 3.0 × 10⁶ J/m²s

Find:

Intensity when it passed a point only 1.0 km .

Computation:

Intensity of an earthquake = (r1 / r2)² (I₁)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = (54 / 1)²(3.0 × 10⁶)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = (54)²(3.0 × 10⁶)

Intensity of an earthquake (passes 1 km) = 8,748 × 10⁶

Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes =\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is 10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t
pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin\theta\\ where;

r is the radius of the  of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

\theta\\ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm

A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exe
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

F_{r}=kv^2

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value into the formula

3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

Put the value of k

3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}

At terminal velocity \dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0

So, 1600-v^2=0

v=\sqrt{1600}

v=40\ ft/sec

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.
