<h3>Answer;</h3>

Away from the focus

Seismic waves carry energy from an earthquake away from the focus, through earth's interior and across the surface.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

When an earthquake occurs energy is produced and is transmitted or released in form of a seismic waves. Seismic waves are types of waves which results from an earthquake, they are vibrations that move through the earth carrying energy that has been released when an earthquake occurs.
The focus is the point at which a rock that is under stress breaks and triggers and earthquake. Seismic waves carry the energy released during an earthquake away from the focus through the earth in all directions.

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We know that W=mg

So $65=m\times 9.8$

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of $2.4m/sec^2$

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4= $7.4m/sec^2$

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 ${\rm m}$ . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t

blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x $10^{8}$ m/s)

f= 3 x $10^{8}$ / 2.4

f=1.25 x $10^{8}$ hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x $10^{8}$

T= 8 x $10^{-9}$ s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x $10^{-9}$ => 800 x $10^{-9}$ s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

$x_{min}$ = τc/2 => (800 x $10^{-9}$ x 3 x $10^{8}$ )/2

$x_{min}$ =120m

Water flowing from a waterfall before it hits the pond below?

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

Ang prinsipyo ay nagsasaad na ang enerhiya ay hindi maaaring malikha o masira, ngunit maaari lamang ma-convert mula sa isang anyo patungo sa isa pa. Ang tubig sa tuktok ng napakataas na talon ay nagtataglay ng gravitational potential energy. Habang bumabagsak ang tubig, ang enerhiya na ito ay na-convert sa kinetic energy, na nagreresulta sa isang daloy sa isang mataas na bilis.
