Dr. Inge discovered the make up of the earths inner core by studying how an earthquakes waves bounced off the core. And Inge Lehmann was studying the waves of a 1929 earthquake when she found them acting inconsistently with solid mantle crust

Which is usually greater for a pair of surfaces, the coefficient of static friction or the coefficient of sliding friction? why
lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation :

Static friction is the frictional force between two objects that are at rest. While sliding friction is the frictional force between two objects in contact and are sliding w.r.t each other.

Static friction is usually greater than sliding friction because in static friction the contact forces is more and the interlocking between objects is tight as compared to sliding friction.

A mass of 13kg stretches a spring 14cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 6sin(t/2)N and moves in a medium that impar
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\

#Where u is in meters and t in seconds.

Explanation:

Given that :m=13.0kg, \ L=0.14m, \ F(t)=6sin\frac{t}{2}N, F_d(t*)=-4N^{-1}, u\prime(t*)=0.12m/s\\u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04m/s

From \omega=kL we have:

k=\frac{\omega}{L}=\frac{mg}{0.14m}=\frac{13.0\times 9.8m/s}{0.14m}\\\\k=910kg/s^2

From F_d(t)=-\gamma u\prime(t) we have that:

\gamma=-\frac{F_d(t*)}{u\prime(t*)}=\frac{4N}{0.12m/s}\\=33.33Ns/m

Now,given that the initial value problem is given by:

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\

Hence,the position of u at time t is given by

13u\prime\prime+33.33u\prime+910u=6sin\frac{t}{2}, \ u(0)=0,u\prime(0)=0.04\\, u in meters,t in seconds.

Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
Helen [10]

It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.

-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger.  this is bigger than atoms.

-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long.  About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch.  These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.

-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long.     You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch.  Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.

-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.

Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.

The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.
