The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.05 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.585 km/s.

A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 56.4 s after that of the longitudinal waves. How far away was the earthquake? Answer in units of km.

Answer:

d=691.71km

Explanation:

The time lag between the arrival of transverse waves and the arrival of the longitudinal waves is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{v_t}-\frac{d}{v_l}

Here d is the distance at which the earthquake take place and v_t, v_l is the velocity of the transverse waves and longitudinal waves respectively. Solving for d:

t=d(\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l})\\d=\frac{t}{\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l}}\\d=\frac{56.4s}{\frac{1}{5.05\frac{km}{s}}-\frac{1}{8.585\frac{km}{s}}}\\d=691.71km

Block with m = 300 grams oscillates at the end of a linear spring with k = 6.5 N/m. (assume this is a top-down view and the bloc
masha68 [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the block, m = 300 g = 0.3 kg

Linear spring constant, k = 6.5 N/m

(a) Let T is the period of the block's motion. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}

where

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}= angular frequency

Also, \omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\dfrac{6.5}{0.3}}}

T = 1.34 seconds

(b) The maximum acceleration of the block is, a_{max}=2\ m/s^2

The maximum acceleration is given by :

a_{max}=\omega^2A

A is the amplitude of the motion,

A=\dfrac{a_{max}}{\omega^2}

A=\dfrac{a_{max}}{(\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}})^2}

A=\dfrac{ma_{max}}{k}

A=\dfrac{0.3\times 2}{6.5}

A = 0.09 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2-kg ball is moving with a speed of 4 m/s, and a 4-kg ball is moving with a speed of 2 m/s. What can you conclude about the of
Mila [183]
<h2>Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

For ball of mass 2 kg

           Mass, m = 2 kg

           Velocity, v = 4 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 2 x 4² = 16 J

For ball of mass 4 kg

           Mass, m = 4 kg

           Velocity, v = 2 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 4 x 2² = 8 J

Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball

Which of the following statements is TRUE? (Points : 1) The dermis is avascular There are few sensory nerve fibers in the dermis
UkoKoshka [18]
TRUE: Dermal Papillae project into and anchor the epidermis to the dermis. 

The dermal papillae increases the surface area between the epidermis and dermis. It forms dermal ridges in hands, feet, and fingertips. It extends to the epidermis and contains blood vessels that supply epidermis with nutrients.

Aside from dermal papillae, the following are found in the dermis.
1) fibroblasts
2) adipocytes
3) macrophages
4) nerve endings
5) hair follicles
6) smooth muscles
7) glands
8) lymphatic vessels
