What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake P wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 14 km and 49 k

m from the source?
Physics
1 answer:
Molodets [167]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Explanation:

r_1 = 14 km

r_2 = 49 km

Intensity of a wave is inversely proportional to distance

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{49^2}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

The ratio of the intensities is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Which statement describes the subscripts she will
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

She will use one 2 as a subscript.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol "N" and has an atomic number of 7. Thus, it is found in group (5) of the periodic table and as such it has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, nitrogen has two (5) valence electrons.

On the other hand, oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with the symbol "O."

When nitrogen and oxygen react chemically, they produce a compound known as nitrogen dioxide NO_{2}

In this scenario, Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Therefore, the statement which describes the subscripts she will use to write the chemical formula is, she will use one 2 as a subscript.

N + O_{2} ------>  NO_{2}

Where: 2 represents the subscript of oxygen.

in an effort to reach the store before it closed the motorist increase the speed of his car from 20 m per second to 60 meters pe
Ber [7]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 20 m/s

vf = 60 m/s

t = 4 second.

Formula

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (60 - 20)/4

a = 40 / 4

a = 10 m/s^2

The magnetosphere of Jupiter is
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

d. a large region outside Jupiter occupied by its magnetic field and filled with high-energy charged particles.  

Explanation:

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of a charged particle in the space around it. For the case of Jupiter its magnetic field is created by the liquid metallic hydrogen in its core.

So the magnetosphere is just the magnetic field around a planet, which interacts with high-energy charged particles (for example: Cosmic Rays).

Magnetospheres protect planets from the extreme radiation coming from stars or another interstellar source.

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 2.6 m long, its mass is 0.5
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

15.13 m/s

Explanation:

The wave speed of the stretched rope can be calculated using the following formula

v = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}

where F_T = 44N is the tension on the rope and \mu = m/L = 0.5 / 2.6 = 0.1923 kg/m is the density of the rope per unit length

v = \sqrt{\frac{44}{0.1923}} = \sqrt{228.8} = 15.13 m/s
