An earthquake P wave traveling at 7.7km/s strikes a boundary within the Earth between two kinds of material.If it approaches the

boundary at an incident angle of 44? and the angle of refraction is 33?, what is the speed in the second medium?Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

$c_2 = 6.04\ Km/s$

Explanation:

given,

speed of wave, c₁ = 7.7 m/s

angle of incidence, i = 44°

angle of refraction, r = 33°

speed of wave in second medium.

using Snell's law

n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r

$\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin\ r}{sin\ i}$

$\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{sin\ 33^0}{sin\ 44^0}$

$\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=0.784$

now,

calculation of velocity in the medium

n₁ c₁ = n₂ c₂

$\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{c_2}{c_1}$

$c_2 = c_1\times \dfrac{n_1}{n_2}$

$c_2 = 7.7\times 0.784$

$c_2 = 6.04\ Km/s$

Speed of wave in the second medium is equal to 6.04 Km/h

1. Use Coulomb’s Law (equation below) to calculate the approximate force felt by an electron at point A in the schematic below.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the data it appears that A is the middle point between two charges.

First of all we shall calculate the field at point A .

Field due to charge -Q ( 6e⁻ ) at A

= 9 x 10⁹ x 6 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (2.5)² x 10⁻⁴

= 13.82 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

Its direction will be towards Q⁻

Same field will be produced by Q⁺ charge . The direction will be away

from Q⁺ towards Q⁻ .

We shall add the field to get the resultant field .

= 2 x 13.82 x 10⁻⁶

= 27.64 x 10⁻⁶ N/C

Force on electron put at A

= charge x field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 27.64 x 10⁻⁶

= 44.22 x 10⁻²⁵ N

Two skaters skate toward each other, each moving at 3.3 m/s. Their lines of motion are separated by a perpendicular distance of

vredina [299]

Answer:

4.4 rad/s

Explanation:

When the 2 skaters is spinning with a distance of 1.5m, their rotation radius is half of that distance, which is 1.5/2 = 0.75m.

Then their moments of inertia, given that their mass being 51 kg, is (treating them as point mass particle):

$I = Mr^2 = 2Mr^2 = 51*0.75^2 = 38.25 kg.m^2$

When they change from linear motion to rotational motion, their energy must be conserved:

$E_L = E_r$

$2*(0.5Mv^2) = 2*(0.5I\omega^2)$

$\omega^2 = \frac{Mv^2}{I}$

$\omega = v\sqrt{\frac{M}{I}}$

$\omega = 3.3\sqrt{\frac{51}{38.25}} = 4.4 rad/s$

Un hamster esta sentado sobre un tocadisco cuya rapidez angular es constante si el hamster se mueve a un punto localizado al dob

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

b) se duplica

Explanation:

The disk is moving with constant angular velocity, let's call it $\omega$ .

The linear velocity of a point on the disk is given by

$v=\omega r$

where r is the distance of the point from the axis of rotation.

In this problem, the object is moved at a distance twice as far as the initial point, so

$r' = 2r$

Therefore, the new linear velocity is

$v'=\omega r' = \omega (2r) = 2 \omega r = 2 v$

So, the velocity has doubled, and the correct answer is

b) se duplica

Someone, please help!! cant understand

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

4400 N

Explanation: (c)

P= $\frac{F}{A}$

F= PA

P= pressure

A= area

P=800x $10^{3\\$ and A= 5.5 x $10^{-3}$ $m^{2}$

Force F= 800x $10^{3}$ x0.0055= 4400 N

force exerted by the gas on the piston is 4400 N
