The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.08 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.3312 km/s

. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 55.9 s after that of the longitudinal waves. How far away was the earthquake?

Answer:

727.67 km

Explanation:

Sine they have Same distance D

distance = speed * time

D = 5.08t

D = 8.3312(t+55.9)

so

5.08t = 8.3312(t+55.9) t in

3.2512t = 465.71

t = 143.2s

Subtitute t

D=5.08 t

= 5.08 × 143.2

= 727.67km

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

A car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula d = t 2 + 2 t expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d , i
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

2) V = 9 ft/s

3) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

4) V = 5.9 ft/s

Explanation:

In order to know if the car is traveling at constant speed we need to derive the given formula. That way we get speed as a function of time:

V(t) = 2*t + 2   Since the speed depends on time, the speed is not constant at any time.

For the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=2 and t=5:

d(2) = 8 ft     and      d(5) = 35 ft

V_{2-5}=\frac{d(5)-d(2)}{5-2}=9 ft/s

Again, for the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=1.8 and t=2.1:

d(1.8) = 6.84 ft     and      d(2.1) = 8.61 ft

V_{1.8-2.1}=\frac{d(2.1)-d(1.8)}{2.1-1.8}=5.9 ft/s

An object is placed at 0 on a number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to the righ
Verdich [7]

The correct answer is: +5

Explanation:

An object is placed at 0; it means:

Initial position of the object = 0.

Now it moves to 3 units to right, so keeping the standard cartesian coordinate system in mind (in right right x-axis is positive and left x-axis is right), the new position of the object will be +3.

Object now moves 4 units to the left, it means +3 - 4 = -1; object is at the position -1.

Object then moves 6 units to the right, therefore,

Final position of the object = -1 + 6 = +5.

Displacement = Final position - Initial position

Displacement = +5 - 0 = +5
