What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 5 Hz?

1 answer:

6 0

To find the wavelength you divide the wave speed over the frequency. This would be 13/5. The quotient would be 2.4. This means the wavelength is 2,.4 meters or whatever your unit is.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

An electron, moving south, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this uniform magnetic field, the electron curves upward.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Towards the west

Explanation:

Magnetic force is the interaction between a moving charged particle and a magnetic field.

Magnetic force is given as

F = q (V × B)

Where F is the magnetic force

q is the charge

V is the velocity

B is the magnetic field

V×B means the cross product of the velocity and the magnetic field

NOTE:

i×i=j×j×k×k=0

i×j=k. j×i=-k

j×k=i. k×j=-i

k×i=j. i×k=-j

So, if the electron is moving southward, then, it implies that the velocity of it motion is southward, so the electron is in the positive z-direction

Also, the electron is curved upward due to the magnetic field, this implies that the force field is directed up in the positive y direction.

Then,

V = V•k

F = F•j

Then, apply the theorem

F •j = q ( V•k × B•x)

Let x be the unknown

From vector k×i =j.

This shows that x = i

Then, the magnetic field point in the direction of positive x axis, which is towards the west

You can as well use the Fleming right hand rule

The thumb represent force

The index finger represent velocity

The middle finger represent field

A gun has a muzzle speed of 80 meters per second. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 180 meters away? Negle

olga55 [171]

Knowing the initial velocity and angle, the horizontal range formula is given by R= V^2sin(2teta) / g, so we can get
sin(2teta)=Rg/V^2
sin(2teta)= (180 x 9.8)/ 80^2= 0.27, sin(2teta)=0.27, 2teta=arcsin(0.27)=15.66, so teta=15.66/2

teta=7.83°
