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.

Two long, parallel wires are attracted to each other by a force per unit length of 350 µN/m. One wire carries a current of 22.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer

given,

force per unit length = 350 µN/m

current, I = 22.5 A

y = y = 0.420 m

\dfrac{F}{L}= \dfrac{KI_1I_2}{d}

I_2 = \dfrac{F}{L}\dfrac{d}{KI_1}

I_2 = 350\times 10^{-6}\times \dfrac{0.42}{2 \times 10^{-7}\times 22.5}

    I₂ = 32.67 A

distance where the magnetic field is zero

\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 32.67}{2\pi y_1}=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 22.5}{2\pi (0.42-y_1)}

y_1 = 0.248\ m

there the distance at which the magnetic field is zero in the two wire is at 0.248 m.

Find the total electric charge of 1.7 kg of electrons. me=9.11×10−31kg, e=1.60×10−19C.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

2.99\cdot 10^{11}C

Explanation:

The mass of one electron is

m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg

So the number of electrons contained in M=1.7 kg of mass is

N=\frac{M}{m_e}=\frac{1.7 kg}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg}=1.87\cdot 10^{30}

The charge of one electron is

e=1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C

So, the total charge of these electrons is equal to the charge of one electron times the number of electrons:

Q=Ne=(1.87\cdot 10^{30})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)=2.99\cdot 10^{11}C

The formation of condensation on a glass of ice water causes the ice to melt faster than it would otherwise. If 8.55 g of conden
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

m = 62.14 g

Explanation:

Energy used to melt the ice is the energy released by the condensation of the water forms on the glass

so here we have

energy for the condensation of water is given as

let mass of water condensed = m

E = m_1 L_f

now the energy of vaporization is given as

E = m_2 L_v

here we know that

L_f = 79.8 kCal/kg

L_v = 580 k Cal/kg

Now we have

8.55 \times 580 = m \times 79.8

m = 62.14 g
