2. An earthquake travels at 3.8 km/s and has a wavelength of 480 m. What is the frequency of the earthquake?

Physics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

7.9

Explanation:

speed = 3.8

speed = frequency * wavelength

frequency = \frac{speed}{wavelength} =  \frac{3.8 * 1000}{480} = 7.9

From a set of graphed data the slope of the best fit line is found to be 1.35 m/s and the slope of the worst fit line is 1.29m/s
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Solution:

Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by 'm_{best}'

and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by 'm_{worst}'

Given that:

m_{best} = 1.35 m/s

m_{worst} = 1.29 m/s

Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:

\Delta m = \frac{m_{best}-m_{worst}}{2}               (1)

Substituting values in eqn (1), we get

\Delta m = \frac{1.35 - 1.29}{2} = 0.03 m/s

A 2498 kg car is moving at 17.1 m/s slams on its brakes and slows to 2.6 m/s. What is the magnitude (absolute value) of the impu
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<em>J=36221 Kg.m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Impulse-Momentum Theorem</u>

These two magnitudes are related in the following way. Suppose an object is moving at a certain speed v_1 and changes it to v_2. The impulse is numerically equivalent to the change of linear momentum. Let's recall the momentum is given by

p=mv

The initial and final momentums are, respectively

p_1=mv_1,\ p_2=mv_2

The change of momentum is

\Delta p=p_2-p_1=m(v_2-v_1)

It is numerically equal to the Impulse J

J=\Delta p

J=m(v_2-v_1)

We are given

m=2498\ kg,\ v_1=17.1\ m/s,\ v_2=2.6\ m/s

The impulse the car experiences during that time is

J=2498(2.6-17.1)=2498(-14.5)

J=-36221 Kg.m/s

The magnitude of J is

J=36221 Kg.m/s

An object falling straight down without air resistance is said to be exhibiting
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the object is falling straight down it is in free fall.  The difference between that and two-dimensional motion is that 2D motion is parabolic (projectile)

Number of complete 90.9 MHz radio waves over a 1.50 km distance
zimovet [89]
You could answer this right away IF you knew the length of each wave, right ?

Well,  Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency).

Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s  (the speed of light)
and
Frequency = 90.9 x 10⁶ Hertz.

So the length of each wave is  3 x 10⁸ / 90.9 x 10⁶  meters.

To answer the question, see how many pieces you have to cut
that 1.5 km into, in order for each piece to be 1 wavelength. 
It'll be

(1,500 meters) divided by (3 x 10⁸ meters/sec) / (90.9 x 10⁶ Hz)

To divide by a fraction, flip the fraction and then multiply:

(1500 meters) times (90.9 x 10⁶ Hz)/(3 x 10⁸ meters/sec)

=   454.5
