<span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>

In a simple machine, the energy input is 120 J. If the efficiency of the machine is 80%, calculate the energy output

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

<h2>96 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% = $\frac{80}{100} = 0.8$

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency = $\frac{output}{input}$

Cross multiplication:

$output \: = \: 0.8 \times 120$

Calculate the product

$output \: = 96 \: joules$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg roller coaster car that is moving with speed of 40.0 m/s

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

KE=800,000

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2 or Kinetic Energy= 0.5*mass*velocity^2

so 1000 is the mass and 40 is the velocity

KE=0.5*1000*40^2

KE=0.5*1,000*1,600

KE=800,000 Joules

Answer:

Radio waves have a wavelength between $10^{-9}m$ and $10^{-12}m$

While,

X rays have a wavelength between 1m and 10km.

=> It is one of the condition of diffraction that the obstacle (coming in the way) must be comparable with the size of the wavelength.

=> This shows, that radio waves have a wavelength which is comparable with the size of buildings and can really easily diffract through it

=> While, X-rays are big enough to diffract through the wall.

So, if an X-ray technician stands behind a wall during the use of her machine, she will remain safe.
