<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Away from the focus</em>

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

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

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

A 250 kg flatcar 25 m long is moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s along horizontal frictionless rails. A 61 kg worker starts walking

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

x=31.09m

Explanation:

p1=p2

The momentum of flatcar and the momentum of the worker so

The velocity of the worker is:

$m_{f}*v_{f}=m_{w}*v_{w}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{m_{f}*v_{f}}{m_{w}}\\v_{f}=\frac{61kg*3.0\frac{m}{s}}{250kg}\\v_{f}=0.732\frac{m}{s}$

The total motion has a total velocity and is

$Vt=v_{w}+v_{f}\\Vt=0.732\frac{m}{s}+3.0\frac{m}{s}\\Vt=3.732\frac{m}{s}$

The time the worker take walking is

$t=\frac{x}{v_{w}}\\t=\frac{25m}{3\frac{m}{s}}=8.33s$

Now the total time and the total velocity determinate the motion of tha flatcar how far has moved

$x=t*Vt\\x=8.33s*3.732\frac{m}{s} \\x=31.09m$

A force on a particle depends on position such that F(x) = (3.00 N/m2)x2 + (6.00 N/m)x for a particle constrained to move along

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J.

Explanation:

A force on a particle depends on position constrained to move along the x-axis, is given by,

$F(x)=(3\ N/m^2)x^2+(6\ N/m)x$

We need to find the work done on a particle that moves from x = 0.00 m to x = 2.00 m.

We know that the work done by a particle is given by the formula as follows :

$W=\int\limits {F{\cdot} dx}$

$W=\int\limits^2_0 {(3x^2+6x){\cdot} dx} \\\\W={(x^3}+3x^2)_0^2\\\\\W={(2^3}+3(2)^2)\\\\W=20\ J$

So, the work done by a particle from x = 0 to x = 2 m is 20 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
