You draw 3 circles around the stations with the size of the circle equal to the distance from the earthquake. Then you simply find where the edge circles all overlap.

What was the speed of a space shuttle that orbited Earth at an altitude of 1482 km?
gregori [183]

Answer:

v = 7121.3 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the centripetal force for the space shuttle is due to gravitational force of earth due to which it will rotate in circular path with constant speed

so here we will have

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

here we know that

r = orbital radius = 6370 km + 1482 km

r = 7.852 \times 10^6 m

also we know that

M = 5.97 \times 10^{24} kg

now we will have

v^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{7.852 \times 10^6}

v^2 = 5.07 \times 10^7

v = 7121.3 m/s

The inductance of a solenoid with 450 turns and a length of 24 cm is 7.3 mH. (a) What is the cross-sectional area of the solenoi
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: 0.43 V

Explanation:

L = [μ(0) * N² * A] / l

Where

L = Inductance of the solenoid

N = the number of turns in the solenoid

A = cross sectional area of the solenoid

l = length of the solenoid

7.3*10^-3 = [4π*10^-7 * 450² * A] / 0.24

1.752*10^-3 = 4π*10^-7 * 202500 * A

1.752*10^-3 = 0.255 * A

A = 1.752*10^-3 / 0.255

A = 0.00687 m²

A = 6.87*10^-3 m²

emf = -N(ΔΦ/Δt).........1

L = N(ΔΦ/ΔI) so that,

N*ΔΦ = ΔI*L

Substituting this in eqn 1, we have

emf = - ΔI*L / Δt

emf = - [(0 - 3.2) * 7.3*10^-3] / 55*10^-3

emf = 0.0234 / 0.055

emf = 0.43 V

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

\Delta  v=-27 m/s is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N

A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 60.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35 m/s^2. (a) How much time does it take for the beetle to reach
Firlakuza [10]
Im going to tell you what to do but not the result. So pay close attention: the first thing you need to do is convert miles/h to m/s. Then for the part a) <span>divide the final velocity by the initial velocity. That will give you the amount of it will take to accelerate to the final velocity.Now for the part b you </span>use the formula v=vo+at. I hope this can help you
