Suppose an earthquake occurs on an imaginary planet. Scientists on the other side of the planet detect primary waves but not sec

ondary waves after the quake. This suggests that:________.
a. part of the planet's interior is liquid
b. all of the planet's interior is solid
c. the planet has an iron core
d. the planet's interior consists entirely of rocky materials
e. the planet's mantle is liquid

Answer:

a. part of the planet's interior is liquid

Explanation:

Seismic waves are slowed down in a liquid medium. On earth, molten areas reduces the speed of P waves and completely stops S waves which have shearing motion that can only be transmitted through a solid

The motion has the highest speed in materials, allowing it to be detected first on seismograms. The P wave is has a smaller wavelength and a higher frequency than the surface ans the S waves.

Describe the proton gradient generated by the electron transport chain
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o
Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).

Now the force of friction is F_s=\mu*N, where N is the normal force and from the diagram it is F_y=mg*cos(\theta).

Thus F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).

Therefore,

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).

Substituting the value for F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta we get:

F_{tot}= -38.63N.

Now acceleration is simply

a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

d=\frac{1}{2} at^2

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }

Substitute the value of d=0.50m and a=7.7m/s and we get:

t=0.36s.

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of a, because for this formula absolute value is needed.
