Geologists use explosives to map subterranean. The time for the reflected waves to arrive at a monitoring station can tell a gre

at deal about the composition of the rock structures. suppose the time it takes for a wave that is reflected from the interface of 1 and 2 is 2s, and the time for another wave that is reflected between 2 and 3 is 2.5s, and the speed of the wave in layer 1 is 6 km//s and in layer 2 is 4 km/s, then how thick is layer 2?

b.)8 km
c.)3 km
d.)2 km
e.)6 km

Answer:

  1 km

Explanation:

The round-trip time through layer 1 is given as 2 seconds. The total of round-trip times through layers 1 and 2 is 2.5 seconds, so the round-trip time through layer 2 is ...

  2.5 s - 2.0 s = 0.5 s

Then the one-way time through layer 2 is 0.5/2 = 0.25 s. The distance traveled by the wave in that time is ...

  distance = speed × time = (4 km/s)×(0.25 s) = 1.0 km

Layer 2 is 1 km thick.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

We are given with, a construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity. He travels a distance of 50 m.

The work done by an object is given by :

W=Fd

F = ma

So,

W=mad

m is mass

a is acceleration

d is displacement

The worker is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration will be 0. So, the work done by the worker is 0.

Imagine a star very similar to our own Sun in both size and mass. This star moves very slightly back and forth in the sky once e
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

(c) The planet must have a mass about the same as the mass of Jupiter,

(d) The planet must be closer to the star than Earth is to the Sun.

Explanation:

Astrometry is the ideal method to detect high-mass planets that are close to their star. That is because the gravitational effect that it will have the planet over its host star will be greater. This effect can be seen as a wobble in the star as a consequence of how they orbit a common center of mass¹. The center of mass will be closer to the most massive object, So, in the case of an extrasolar planet with masses like Jupiter (Jovian), this point will be a little bit farther from the star, making the wobble more notable than in a system with a low-mass planet.          

Key terms:

Astrometry: study of the position of the stars over time in the sky.

¹Center of mass: a geometrical point in which the mass from a whole system is summed.

A parallel RC circuit has a capacitive reactance of 962 ohms and a resistance of 1,200 ohms what is the impedance of this circui
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

<em>A. 751 ohm</em>

Explanation:

Impedance: <em>This is the total opposition to the flow of current in an a.c circuit by any or all of the three circuit elements ( R, L, C). The unit of impedance is Ohms (Ω). The impedance in a parallel circuit is gives a s</em>

<em>Z = RXₐ/√(Xₐ² + R²)............................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Z = The impedance of the a.c circuit, Xₐ = capacitive reactance, R = resistance.</em>

<em>Given: Xₐ = 962 Ω, R = 1200 Ω</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>Z = 962×1200/√(962² + 1200²)</em>

<em>Z = 1154400/√(925444 + 1440000)</em>

<em>Z = 1154400/√(925444+1440000</em>

<em>Z = 1154400/1538</em>

<em>Z = 750.59 Ω</em>

<em>Z≈ 751 Ω</em>

<em>Therefore the impedance of the circuit = 751 Ω</em>

<em>The right option is A. 751 ohm</em>

George Of The Jungle's wife, Mrs. Of The Jungle, has been pestering him to go on a diet. He should have listened. During his com
Elena L [17]

Answer:

112.06 kg - Thats heavy !

Explanation:

Let's do force balance here. Let the object of our interest be George. The forces acting on him are the tension in  the upward direction, his weight in the downward direction and the centrifugal force in the downward direction. Considering the upward and downward directions on the y-axis and f=given the fact that George doesn't move up or down, the forces are balanced along the y-axis. Hence doing force balance:

magnitude of forces upward =magnitude of forces downward

i.e., Tension(T) = Weight(mg) + Centrifugal force (mv²/r)

where: 'm' is the mass of George, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). v is the speed with which George moves (14.1 m/s) and r is the radius of the circle in which he's moving at the instant (Here since he's swinging on the rope, he moves in a circle with radius as the length of the rope and hence r=7.3m).

therefore, T = m (9.8 + (14.1)²/7.3) = 4150 N

Therefore, m = 112.06 kg
