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.

The two pucks of equal mass did not move linearly (they came to a stop) after the collision due to the conservation of linear mo
weeeeeb [17]

Compared to the pucks given, the pair of pucks will rotate at the same rate.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The law of conservation of the angular momentum expresses that when no outer torque follows upon an article, no difference in angular momentum will happen.  At the point when an item is turning in a shut framework and no outside torques are applied to it, it will have no change in angular momentum.

The conservation of the angular momentum clarifies the angular quickening of an ice skater as she brings her arms and legs near the vertical rotate of revolution.  In the event, that the net torque is zero, at that point angular momentum is steady or saved.  

By twice the mass yet keeping the speeds unaltered, also twice the angular momentum's to the two-puck framework.  Be that as it may, we likewise double the moment of inertia. Since L=I \times \omega, the turning rate of the two-puck framework must stay unaltered.

An uncrewed mission to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is launched from the Earth's surface as a projectile with an initial
Anna [14]

Answer:

42.96 km/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of Energy

(PE+KE)_i=(PE+KE)_f\\\Rightarrow -\frac{GmM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Mass gets cancelled

-\frac{GM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}v_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -2\frac{GM}{R}+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -v_e^2+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow v_f=\sqrt{v_i^2-v_e^2}

v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{R}} = Escape velocity of Earth = 11.2 km/s

v_i = Velocity of projectile = 44.4 km/s

v_f=\sqrt{44.4^2-11.2^2}\\\Rightarrow v_f=42.96\ km/s

The velocity of the spacecraft when it is more than halfway to the star is 42.96 km/s

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

Two cars leave towns 680 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one car's rate is 10 kilometers per hou
Evgen [1.6K]

D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km

v₁ = speed of one car

v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10

t = time taken to meet = 4 h

distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D

v₁ t + v₂ t = D

(v₁ + v₂) t = D

inserting the values

(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680

v₁ = 90 km/h

rate of slower car is given as

v₂ = v₁ - 10

v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
