The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.
Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.
-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles. But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.
-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.
Displacement = 50 miles south
-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)
50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>
Answer:
The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.
Explanation:
Given that,
Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s
Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s
Time = 71 sec
We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave
Using formula of distance
....(I)
The distance of longitudinal wave
....(II)
From the first equation
Put the value of t in equation (II)
Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.
Answer:
thinnest soap film is 206.76 nm
Explanation:
Given data
wavelength = 550 nm
index of refraction n = 1.33
to find out
What is the thinnest soap film
solution
we have wavelength λ = 550 nm
that is λ = 550 × 
m
and n = 1.3
we will find the thickness of soap film as given by formula that is
thickness = λ/2n
thickness = 550 × / 2(1.33)
thickness = 206.76 × m
thinnest soap film is 206.76 nm
An example of the use of expansion of materials when they are heated is in
Thermometers. Thermometer is an instrument which is used to measure the
temperature of a place.
It contains mercury which expands as temperature increases. This is used
to accurately determine the temperature of an object.
The disadvantage of expansion of materials when they are heated can be
seen in roads as there is expansion of the surface as a result of heat
exposure leads to roads being rough thereby incurring more costs for
repairs.
