The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 4.05 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 7.695 km/s.

A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 69.9 s after that of the longitudinal waves. How far away was the earthquake? Answer in units of km.

Answer:

x = 600 Km

Explanation:

given,

speed of transverse wave = 4.05 Km/s

speed of longitudinal wave = 7.695 Km/s

difference of the time of arrival of wave = 69.9 s

now,

t₂ - t₁ = 69.9 s

let x be the distance

\dfrac{x}{4.05} - \dfrac{x}{7.695} = 69.9

x = \dfrac{69.9\times 4.05 \times 7.695}{7.695-4.05}

x = 597.645 Km

x = 600 Km

distance of recorder from the site is 600 Km approximately.

A rocket, weighing 4.36 x 10^4 N, has an engine that provides an upward force of 8.90 x 10^5 N. It reaches a maximum speed of 86
Pavel [41]

The net force on the rocket is  846400 N.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is known that weight is the influence of gravitational force acting on any mass of the object. So in the present case, the weighing force given is equal to the gravitational force acting on the rocket. Thus, the gravitational force will be acting towards downward direction. But an upward force is required by the rocket for thrusting purpose and that force is given as upward force. So the net force acting on the rocket is the vector addition of all the forces acting on the rocket. As in this case, only upward and downward force is acting on the rocket. The vector addition will be equal to subtraction of downward acting gravitational force from upward force or force provided by engine.

Net force = Engine force - Gravitational force = 890000-43600=846400 N

So the net force acting on the rocket is 846400 N.

What is the magnitude of the impulse that would cause the 2-kg box to accelerate from 2 m/s to 5 m/s?
Law Incorporation [45]

6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

Answer:

The magnitude of impulse is 6 J.

Explanation:

Impulse is the force acting on any object for a given time interval. As force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Then the product of force with time interval will be equal to the product of mass with change in velocity.

F = m a = \frac{m(v-u)}{(t_{2}-t_{1}  )}

FΔt = mΔv

Impulse = FΔt=mΔv

As the mass of box is given as 2 kg and the velocity changes from 2 m/s to 5 m/s, then the impulse = 2 × (5-2) = 2 ×3 =6 J

So 6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.
