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

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100
balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.  

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.  

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s  =  (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates of radius R is being charged by a battery, which provides a constant current. At
NikAS [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the magnetic field.

According to the information, the magnetic field INSIDE the plates is,

B=\frac{1}{2} \mu \epsilon_0 r

Where,

\mu =Permeability constant

\epsilon_0 =Electromotive force

r = Radius

From this deduction we can verify that the distance is proportional to the field

B \propto r

Then the distance relationship would be given by

\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B}{B_{max}}

r =\frac{B}{B_{max}} R

r = \frac{0.5B_{max}}{B_{max}}R

r = 0.5R

On the outside, however, it is defined by

B = \frac{\mu_0 i_d}{2\pi r}

Here the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance, that is

B \not\propto r

Then,

\frac{r}{R} = \frac{B_{max}{B}}

r = \frac{B_{max}{B}}R

r = \frac{B_{max}{0.5B_{max}}}R

r = 2R

Amy crashed her bike into the fence. She was thrown over it onto the lawn. Which Newton law applies
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion applies here.

Explanation:

Before crashing into the fence, Amy was moving at a certain speed on her bike. As, she crashed her bike into the fence, the collision stopped the bike suddenly. But, Amy had the same speed due to inertia of her body. Due tot  his speed Amy did not stop and she was thrown over the fence onto the lawn. So, the force of inertia of Amy's body caused her to be overthrown in this case. We study about inertia in Newton's First Law of Motion, which is also known as Law of Inertia.

<u>Newton's First Law of Motion applies here.</u>
