"Four seismometer stations are the minimum needed to calculate the epicenter of an earthquake".

Answer: The above statement is False.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Seismographs are devices used to measure the movement of earth and it uses a motion sensor named seismometers that are connected with a recording devices.
  • They determine the actual movement of the earth at a particular time and it records the observation.
  • Three seismometers are used to locate the center point of the earthquake region.  
  • Seismograph displays the damage caused by the earthquake in a graphical data based on the readings observed in the seismometer.

A long copper rod of diameter 2.0 cm is initially at a uniform temperature of 100°C. It is now exposed to an air stream at 20°C
Lisa [10]

Answer:

t = 4.0 min

Explanation:

given data:

diameter of rod = 2 cm

T_1 = 100 degree celcius

Air stream temperature =  20 degree celcius

heat transfer coefficient = 200 W/m2. K

WE KNOW THAT

copper thermal conductivity = k = 401 W/m °C

copper specific heat Cp = 385 J/kg.°C

density of copper = 8933 kg/m3

charateristic length is given as Lc

Lc = \frac{V}{A_s}

Lc = \frac{\frac{\pi D^2}{4} L}{\pi DL}

Lc = \frac{D}{4}

Lc = \frac{0.02}{6} = 0.005 m

Biot number is given as Bi = \frac{hLc}{k}

Bi = \frac{200*0.005}{401}

Bi = 0.0025

As Bi is greater than 0.1 therefore lumped system analysis is applicable

so we have

\frac{T(t) - T_∞}{Ti - T_∞} = e^{-bt} ............1

where b is given as

b = \frac{ hA}{\rho Cp V}

b = \frac{ h}{\rho Cp Lc}

b = \frac{200}{8933*385*0.005}

b = 0.01163 s^{-1}

putting value in equation 1

\frac{25-20}{100-20} = e^{-0.01163t}

solving for t we get

t = 4.0 min

This is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Yuri [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Motor

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In motors, electric energy is converted into mechanic energy when a magnetic torque acts on a conductor that carries a current. There are different types of motors like DC and AC motors. The moving part of a motor is called the rotor while the stationary part is called stator

A family is skating at an ice rink. The 58.2 kg mother is holding the
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

a_{y} = \frac{Fdadshandy}{msys}

then you fill it in :

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{35.5kg+58.2kg}

a_{y} = \frac{100N}{93.7kg}

a_{y} = 1.0672 m/s^{2}

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

T_{2} x= m_{2} a_{y}

T_{2} x = 35.5kg (1.0672 m/s^{2})

T_{2} x = 37.89N

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N
