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

Answer:

Mary's average speed is 0.42 meters/second.

Explanation:

Mary's total travel was 250 meters and the elapsed time was 10 minutes, equivalent to 600 seconds.

d = displacement = 80 meters + 125 meters + 45 meters = 250 meters                  

t = time = 10 minutes . 60 seconds/minute = 600 seconds

We can obtain now the average speed:

s = average speed = displacement / time = 250 meters / 600 seconds ≅ 0.4167 ≅ 0.42

Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 2.8 × 10-23 J/T. Assume that all the atoms in the
masya89 [10]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the equations related to the magnetic moment, that is, the amount of force that an image can exert on the electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field exerts on them.

The diple moment associated with an iron bar is given by,

\mu = \alpha *N

Where,

\alpha = Dipole momento associated with an Atom

N = Number of atoms

\alpha y previously given in the problem and its value is 2.8*10^{-23}J/T

L = 5.8cm = 5.8*10^{-2}m

A = 1.5cm^2 = 1.5*10^{-4}m^2

The number of the atoms N, can be calculated as,

N = \frac{\rho AL}{M_{mass}}*A_n

Where

\rho = Density

M_{mass} = Molar Mass

A = Area

L = Length

A_n =Avogadro number

N = \frac{(7.9g/cm^3)(1.5cm)(5.8cm^2)}{55.9g/mol}(6.022*10^{23}atoms/mol)

N = 7.4041*10^{23}atoms

Then applying the equation about the dipole moment associated with an iron bar we have,

\mu = \alpha *N

\mu = (2.8*10^{-23})*(7.4041*10^{23})

\mu = 20.72Am^2

PART B) With the dipole moment we can now calculate the Torque in the system, which is

\tau = \mu B sin(90)

\tau = (20.72)(2.2)

\tau = 45.584N.m

<em>Note: The angle generated is perpendicular, so it takes 90 ° for the calculation made.</em>
