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?

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

Which statements about Earth’s core help explain Earth’s magnetic field? Check all that apply.
Stella [2.4K]

All the statements can be used to explain about Earth's magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is almost same to that of the bar magnet. The magnetic field of the earth occurs from its core. It has an inner core which is solid in nature. in the outer core, there is a motion of the liquid due to heat flow from the inner core to the core mantle boundary which proves that the outer core is liquid and moving. The Earth's core consists of iron and nickel as the Eddy currents in the iron and nickel liquid helps generating the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence, all the three statements are true and can be used to explain the Earth's magnetic field.

Un avión da "una vuelta mortal" de radio R = 500 m con una celeridad constante v = 360 km/h. Halla la fuerza ejercida por el asi
Airida [17]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Verá, durante el salto mortal, el piloto se mueve en una trayectoria circular y la fuerza que actúa sobre él es una fuerza centrípeta.

Sea la fuerza centrípeta F, la masa del piloto (m) = 70 Kg, el radio (r) = 500 my la velocidad (v) = 360 km / hr * 1000/3600 = 100 m / s

F = mv ^ 2 / r

F = 70 * (100) ^ 2/500

F = 1400 N
