6. An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of t

he transverse and longitudinal waves in rock are 9.1 km/s and 5.7 km/s respectively. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 71 s before that of the longitudinal waves. Assuming the waves travel in straight lines, how far away is the center of the earthquake?

Answer:

The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s

Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s

Time = 71 sec

We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave

Using formula of distance

d=v\times t

d=9.1\times t....(I)

The distance of longitudinal wave

d=5.7\times (t+71)....(II)

From the first equation

t=\dfrac{d}{9.1}

Put the value of t in equation (II)

d =5.7\times(\dfrac{d}{9.1}+71)

\dfrac{9.1d-5.7d}{9.1}=71\times5.7

d0.3736=404.7

d =1083.24\ km

Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg. Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N,
White raven [17]

The net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The net force acting on an object is simply defined as the resultant force acting on the object.

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

  • Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 250 N
  • Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 315 N
  • Net force (Fₙ) =?

The net force acting on the car can be obtained as follow:

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 315 – 250

<h3>Fₙ = 65 N to the left </h3>

Therefore, the net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The load across a 12 v battery consists of a series combination of three resistors 45 ω, 55 ω, and 35 ω. what is the total resis
zubka84 [21]
For n resistors in series, the equivalent resistance is given by the sum of the resistances:
R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n

In this problem, we have three resistors, so the equivalent resistance of the load is the sum of the resistances of the three resistors:
R_{eq}=45 \Omega + 55 \Omega + 35 \Omega =135 \Omega

What is the instantaneous velocity of the hummingbird at t=1s?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The distance - time graph of the humming bird is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the attached graph, at time t = 1 s, the corresponding distance is 0.5 m.

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at that point.

Thus;

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5/1

Instantaneous velocity = 0.5 m/s
