<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.

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if

Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.40 g/cm and a tension of 17.5 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Part a)

$y_m = 0.157 mm$

part b)

$k = 101.8 rad/m$

Part c)

$\omega = 579.3 rad/s$

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of $\omega$ must be positive

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of wave in string is given by

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

so we have

$T = 17.5 N$

$m/L = 5.4 g/cm = 0.54 kg/m$

now we have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{17.5}{0.54}}$

$v = 5.69 m/s$

now we have

Part a)

$y_m$ = amplitude of wave

$y_m = 0.157 mm$

part b)

$k = \frac{\omega}{v}$

here we know that

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi(92.2) = 579.3 rad/s$

so we have

$k = \frac{579.3}{5.69}$

$k = 101.8 rad/m$

Part c)

$\omega = 579.3 rad/s$

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of $\omega$ must be positive

A potter's wheel has the shape of a solid uniform disk of mass 13.0 kg and radius 1.25 m. It spins about an axis perpendicular t

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: $10.82 kg-m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of solid uniform disk $M=13 kg$

radius of disk $r=1.25 m$

mass of lump $m=1.7 kg$

distance of lump from axis $r_0=0.63$

Moment of inertia is the distribution of mass from the axis of rotation

Initial moment of inertia of disk $I_1=\frac{Mr^2}{2}$

$I_1=\frac{13\times 1.25^2}{2}=10.15 kg-m^2$

Final moment of inertia $I_f$ =Moment of inertia of disk+moment of inertia of lump about axis

$I_f=\frac{Mr^2}{2}+mr_0^2$

$I_f=10.15+1.7\times 0.63^2$

$I_f=10.15+0.674$

$I_f=10.82 kg-m^2$
