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.

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_
Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

<em>V = 24.25 cos(377 t)</em>

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.

. Two identical vehicles traveling at the same speed are made to collide with barriers in an insurance company collision test. T
Serggg [28]

Answer:

F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum.

         I = F t = Δp

in this case the final velocity is zero

        F t = 0 -m v₀

        F = m v₀ / t

in order to answer the question we must assume that the two vehicles have the same mass and speed

concrete barrier

        F₁ = -p₀ / 0.1

        F₁ = - 10 p₀

barrier collapses

         F₂ = -p₀ / 1

let's look for the relationship of the forces

        F₁ / F₂ = 10

therefore the first out is 10 times greater than the second barrier

What is the current when the voltage is 18 volts and the resistance is 6 ohms?
juin [17]
Voltage = current(I) * resistance (R)
V = 18
R = 6

18 = I * 6
I = 18/6 = 3 Amps or D
