c: a combination of longitudinal and transverse

Explanation:

Surface waves are a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves. These waves causes destruction after an earthquake on the ground surface.

The surface waves are both rayleigh and love waves.
Rayleigh waves and love waves are responsible for the destruction caused by an earthquake.
They both have a unique characteristic of being propagated longitudinally and transversely away from their source.
The spread compressional disturbance and undulating ones at the same time on the earth surface.
These waves are seismic waves.

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = $\frac{4}{2}$ =2ohm [ proven as in series $R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm$ ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

$\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$

so,

$\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$

$R_{e} = 1ohm$

The total energy of a block—spring system is 0.18 J. The amplitude is 14.0 cm and the maximum speed is 1.25 m/s. Find: (a) the m

algol13

a) The mass is 0.23 kg

b) The spring constant is 1.25 N/m

c) The frequency is 1.42 Hz

d) The speed of the block is 1.08 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the mass of the block by applying the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the total mechanical energy of the system (which is sum of elastic potential energy, PE, and kinetic energy, KE) is constant:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

The potential energy is given by

$PE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement. When the block is crossing the position of equilibrium, x = 0, so all the energy is kinetic energy:

$E=KE_{max}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the block

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

We also know that the total energy is

$E=0.18 J$

Re-arranging eq.(1), we can find the mass:

$m=\frac{2E}{v_{max}^2}=\frac{2(0.18)}{(1.25)^2}=0.23 kg$

The maximum speed in a spring-mass system is also given by

$v_{max} =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} A$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

A is the amplitude

Here we have:

$v_{max}=1.25 m/s$ is the maximum speed

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

A = 14.0 cm = 0.14 m is the amplitude

Solving for k, we find the spring constant

$k=\frac{v_{max}^2}{A^2}m=\frac{1.25^2}{0.14^2}(0.23)=18.3 N/m$

The frequency in a spring-mass system is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

k is the spring constant

m is the mass

In this problem, we have:

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant (found in part b)

m = 0.23 kg is the mass (found in part a)

Substituting and solving for f, we find the frequency of the system:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{18.3}{0.23}}=1.42 Hz$

We can solve this part by using the law of conservation of energy; in fact, we have

$E=PE+KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where v is the speed of the system when the displacement is equal to x.

We know that the total energy of the system is

E = 0.18 J

Also we know that

k = 18.3 N/m is the spring constant

m = 0.23 kg is the mass

Substituting

x = 7.00 cm = 0.07 m

We can solve the equation to find the corresponding speed v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2E-kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.18)-(18.3)(0.07)^2}{0.23}}=1.08 m/s$
