3. The Earthquake occured on the other side of the Earth

Explanation:

One of the main difference between P-waves and S-waves is that P-waves can travel through solids and liquids, while S-waves can only travel through solids. They are not able to travel through liquids.

So, if a seismic station showed only P waves, it means that there was some area in liquid state between the seismic station and the hypocenter of the earthquake. Inside the Earth, the outer part of the core is made of liquid, so this means that there outer core was along the line connecting the seismic station and the hypocenter and "blocked" the S-waves: therefore, the earthquake occurs on the other side of the Earth.


4. In order to determine with precision the location of the epicenter

Explanation:

One seismic station is only able to determine the distance of the epicenter - so, by using one seismic station only, we are only able to tell that the epicenter is located on a point along a circle, centered around the seismic station.

If we use two seismic station located at different points, we can draw two circles of possible locations for the epicenter, one for each seismic station. The intersection between the two circles will give us the exact location of the epicenter. However, two circles have two intersections: therefore, there is still an ambiguity concerning the exact location of the epicenter.

If we use three stations, therefore, we can draw three circles, and they have one intersection only: this intersection will give us the exact location of the epicenter.

Two masses —m1 and m2— are connected by light cables to the perimeters of two cylinders of radii r1 and r2 respectively, as show
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Mass of m2 is given as

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

Angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = 176.6 N

Explanation:

Part a)

When m1 and m2 both connected to the cylinder then the system is at rest

so we can use torque balance here

m_1g r_1 = m_2 g r_2

20 g(0.5) = m_2 g(1.5)

10 = 1.5 m_2

m_2 = \frac{20}{3} kg

Part b)

When block m_2 is removed then system becomes unstable

so force equation of mass m1

m_1g - T = m_1 a

also we have

T r_1 = I\alpha

now we have

m_1g = \frac{I a}{r_1^2} + m_1 a

a = \frac{m_1g}{\frac{I}{r_1^2} + m_1}

a = \frac{20 (9.81)}{\frac{45}{0.5^2} + 20}

a = 0.981 m/s^2

so angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{a}{r_1}

\alpha = \frac{0.981}{0.5}

\alpha = 1.96 rad/s^2

Part c)

Tension in the rope is given as

T = \frac{I\alpha}{r_1}

T = \frac{45 (1.96)}{0.5}

T = 176.6 N

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.
