Answer:

The area of the fault where the sudden rupture takes place is called the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?

ikadub [295]

D. The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible. For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed. Say the element has 10 protons. If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons

A car starts from the origin and is driven 1.88 km south, then 9.05 km in a direction 47° north of east. Relative to the origin,

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

(a) θ = 55.85 degree

(b) 7.89 km

Explanation:

Using vector notations

A = 1.88 km south = 1.88 (- j) km = - 1.88 j km

B = 9.05 km 47 degree north of east

B = 9.05 ( Cos 47 i + Sin 47 j) km

B = (6.17 i + 6.62 j) km

Net displacement is

D = A + B

D = - 1.88 i + 6.17 i + 6.62 j = 4.29 i + 6.62 j

(a) Angle made with positive X axis

tanθ = 6.62 / 4.29 = 1.474

θ = 55.85 degree

(b) distance = $Distance = \sqrt{(4.29)^{2} + (6.62)^{2}}$

distance = 7.89 km

During a solar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.

lord [1]

Answer:

(a) $F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N$

(b) $F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N$

(c) $F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N$

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of Earth, $M_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Mass of Moon, $M_{m} = 7.34\times 10^{22}\ kg$

Mass of Sun, $M_{s} = 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg$

Distance between the earth and the moon, $R_{em} = 3.84\times 10^{8}\ m$

Distance between the earth and the sun, $R_{es} = 1.5\times 10^{11}\ m$

Distance between the sun and the moon, $R_{sm} = 1.5\times 10^{11}\ m$

Now,

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass m and m' separated by a distance 'r' is given y:

$F_{G} = \frac{Gmm'_{2}}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Now,

(a) The force exerted by the Sun on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

$F_{sm} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{sm}^{2}}$

$F_{sm} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^{2}}$

$F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N$

(b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

$F_{em} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{em}^{2}}$

$F_{em} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(3.84\times 10^{8})^{2}}$

$F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N$

(c) The force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is given by eqn (1):

$F_{se} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{es}^{2}}$

$F_{se} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{((1.5\times 10^{11}))^{2}}$

$F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N$
