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

Mitch throws a 100-g lump of clay at a 500-g target, which is at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the target, includi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

27.22 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of clay before impact is u.

the speed of clay and target is v after impact.

use conservation of momentum

momentum before impact  momentum after impact

mass of clay x u = (mass of clay + mass of target) x v

100 x u = (100 + 500) x v

u = 6 v .....(1)

distance, s = 2.1 m

μ = 0.5

final velocity is zero. use third equation of motion

v'² = v² + 2as

0 = v² - 2 x μ x g x s

v² = 2 x 0.5 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 20.58

v = 4.54 m/s

so by equation (1)

u = 6 x 4.54 = 27.22 m/s

thus, the speed of clay before impact is 27.22 m/s.

Which of the following is the best reason to rest muscle groups between workouts?
vovangra [49]

Answer;

It allows the muscles time to heal.

Explanation;

-It is very important to rest muscles between workouts. In fact, resistance training breaks down muscles causing microscopic tears. It is only during rest when the muscle-building process is stimulated and the regeneration of new tissue occurs.

-But when muscles are not allowed adequate rest and recover time, the regeneration process cannot occur. This can have several side effects such as increased soreness, decreased strength and performance, and may lead to injury.

A wooden piece is made in different shapes take length (l) = radius (r) = 2m Calculate its volume as a:
In-s [12.5K]

This question deals with the volume of different shapes.

a) volume of the sphere is "33.51 m³".

b) volume of the cylinder is "25.13 m³".

a)

The volume of a sphere is given by the following formula:

Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (2\ m)^3

<u>Volume = 33.51 m³</u>

<u />

b)

The volume of a cylinder is given by the following formula:

Volume = \pi r^2l\\\\Volume =\pi (2\ m)^2(2\ m)

<u>Volume = 25.13 m³</u>

<u />

What assumption can be made about the densities of two different spheres that have
Triss [41]

Answer:

Their densities are different as well

Explanation:

Density is worked out by dividing mass by volume. If the mass was the same then the densities would be as well. But it's not.
