6. An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of t

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s

Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s

Time = 71 sec

We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave

Using formula of distance

$d=v\times t$

$d=9.1\times t$ ....(I)

The distance of longitudinal wave

$d=5.7\times (t+71)$ ....(II)

From the first equation

$t=\dfrac{d}{9.1}$

Put the value of t in equation (II)

$d =5.7\times(\dfrac{d}{9.1}+71)$

$\dfrac{9.1d-5.7d}{9.1}=71\times5.7$

$d0.3736=404.7$

$d =1083.24\ km$

Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo

Helga [31]

Answer: $3.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$\mu_s =0.330$

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force $F_s$

$F_s=ma_{min}$

$\mu_sN=ma_{min}$

$\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}$

$a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2$

A subducting oceanic plate

beks73 [17]

Maybe this would help understand it better.

<span>Tectonic plates can transport both continental crust and oceanic crust, or they may be made of only one kind of crust. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust</span>

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most o

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $h$ corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), $c$ is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J$

Tranform the units

$1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV$

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

$\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118$

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
