Answer:

1- Option (A) and (D)

2- Mercalli scale measures earthquake magnitude depending on its size

Explanation:

Earthquake occurs due to the sudden shaking of the earth. During an earthquake, seismic waves are produced, namely P wave and S wave, and this waves propagates through the interior of the earth depending upon its magnitude and intensity, thus travelling below the earth's surface.

Due to this wave propagation the rocks breaks and adjust themselves and the faulting occurs along the weak zones.

According to the Mercalli scale, the earthquake is measured in terms of intensity of the shaking of the ground and the size. If a small area is affected then its magnitude is less but if an earthquake affects a large area then it is a severe one.

Answer:

A. 2.2*10^-2m

Explanation:

Using

Area = length x L/ uo xN²

So A = 0.7m * 25 x 10^-3H /( 4π x10^-7*

3000²)

A = 17.5*10^-3/ 1.13*10^-5

= 15.5*10^-2m²

Area= π r ²

An archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 45.0m/s at an angle of 50.0degrees with the horizontal.An assistant standing on the

garri49 [273]

Answer:

a) u = 30.29 m/s

b) t = 2.09 s

Explanation:

given,

velocity = 45 m/s

angle (θ) = 50°

horizontal velocity = 45 cos 50°

time taken to reach 150 m.

times = $\dfrac{150}{45 cos 50^0}$

t = 5.19 s

a) height of arrow

$s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s = v sin \theta \times t+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$s = 45 sin 50^0 \times 5.19 -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 5.19^2$

s = 46.78 m

v² - u² = 2 g s

u² = 2 × 9.81 × 46.78

u = 30.29 m/s

b) time taken by the apple = $\dfrac{u}{g}=\dfrac{30.29}{9.81}$

= 3.09 s

time after which it has to be thrown = 5.19-3.09 = 2.1 s

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: part a: 19.62m

part b: 19.62 m/s

part a: 2.83 secs

Explanation:If the air resistance is ignored then the swimmer experience free fall under gravity hence

u=0

a=9.81 m/s2

t=2 secs

$s=ut+0.5at^2$

s=h

$h=0*2+0.5*9.81*2^2\\h=19.62 meters$

Part b

$v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*2\\v=19.62m/s$

Part c

now we have h=2*19.62=39.24

$39.24=0+0.5*9.81*t^2\\t^2=8\\t=2.83 secs$

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat

Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating (assume it goes upto h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m$

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

= 15.625 + 7.8125

= 23. 4375 m
