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

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

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses
dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes
mr Goodwill [35]
The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

How could I tell if an egg is hard boiled or raw explain using Newton's law of motion
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's 2 nd law of motion tells that when equal torque is applied on object having higher moment of inertia , it will rotate slower .

Moment of inertia of boiled egg is higher because the whole egg rotates as s solid unit . Hence it will rotate slower or it rolls slower on an inclined surface .

In this way by applying Newton's law , we can identify raw or boiled egg .
