The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se

Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

A uniform disk with a mass of 5.0 kg and diameter 30 cm rotates on a frictionless fixed axis through its center and perpendicula

igomit [66]

Answer:

Angular acceleration of the disk will be $\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 5 kg

Diameter of the disk d = 30 cm = 0.3 m

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.3}{2}=0.15m$

Moment of inertia of disk is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 0.15^2=0.056kgm^2$

Force is given by F=4 N

Torque is given as $\tau =Fr=4\times 0.15=0.6N-m$

We also know that torque is given by $\tau =I\alpha$

$0.6=0.056\times \alpha$

$\alpha =10.714rad/sec^2$

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. According to this concept, it is understood as the increase or decrease of the frequency of a sound wave when the source that produces it and the person who captures it move away from each other or approach each other. Mathematically this can be described as

$f = f_0 (\frac{v-v_0}{v})$
