<h2>Answer: Superposition</h2><h2 />

The  superposition principle comes as a consequence of the <u>Coulomb's Law</u>, which describes <u>the force between two punctual electrical charges at rest</u>. However, Coulomb's law does not tell us anything about what happens if we have <u>more than two electrical charges</u> or if they are not punctual.

For example, if we have three charges aligned and we want to find the force on one of the ends and how the presence of the central electrical charge influences. The evidence from the experiments has shown that this central charge does not affect the force between them, and this can be expressed by the superposition principle which, in other words, is:

<em>Given a system of punctual charges, the electric force on each of them is the vector sum of the forces due to each of the other charges, as if the rest of the charges were not present. </em>

That is, we can calculate each term by Coulomb's law ignoring completely the existence of other charges.

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se
Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

What is angular velocity
butalik [34]

Answer:

angular velocity(ω) is the rate change of angular displacement.

ω=θ/t and it SI unit is rad/s

Explanation:

this is very similar with the definition of linear velocity (rate of change of displacement). it specifies the angular speed of an object and the axis about which the object is rotating.
