The correct answer is False
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

There exist only two types of seismic waves

1) P waves

2) S waves

P waves are compression waves which is produced due to pushing and pulling. These waves can travel trough any medium i.e. Solid, Liquid or Gas and also these waves travels at high speed.

S Waves are secondary waves which travels at slow speed comparative to P waves. These waves can only travel through solid rocks and travels at slower speed with respect to P waves

So given statement is not true.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10
STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi}) = 379212 Pa

\rho = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = \frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4} = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = [\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m] = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 8.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 30.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligi
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2

\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}

Where the inertia is given by:

Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2

Replacing this value:

\omega c=106.46rad/s

Speed of the block will therefore be:

V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

So,

0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res
Luden [163]
The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW
