On the New York seismogram, the first P wave was recorded at 9:01 UTC. UTC is the international standard on which most countries

base their time. At what time (UTC) did the earthquake actually occur? Explain.

What do you mean by "actually" ? ? ?

Do you mean what time was it in New York when the earthquake began ?
OR
Do you mean what time was it at the place where the earthquake occurred
when the earthquake began ?

New York is in the Eastern Time Zone.  That's five (5) zones west of UTC.

If the quake occurred between November and March, during the time
when  the US is on Standard time or "Winter" time, then the first P-wave
was recorded in New York at  4:01 AM  EST  that morning.

If the quake occurred between April and October, during the time when 
the US is on Daylight Saving time or "Summer" time, when clocks are set
1 hour ahead, then the first P-wave was recorded there at  5:01 AM  EDT 
that morning.

We have no way to calculate what the time was in the place where the earthquake occurred, because the question gives no information
regarding the location of its epicenter.  We would need to know
not only its time zone, but also the actual distance from New York,
so that we could estimate the length of time it took for the P-wave
to reach the seismograph there.

How is a projectile different from an object in free fall
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Projectile Motion. Projectile motion is different than free fall: it involves two dimensions instead of one. ... Balls traveling in two dimensions, only one of which experiences acceleration, require two sets of equations: one set for the x-direction and the other for the y-direction.

It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the sp
Ede4ka [16]

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J

Distance, x = 0.1 m

(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m

(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m

So,

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J

So, the new work is more than 130 J.
