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 loop of area 0.250 m^2 is in a uniform 0.020 0-T magnetic field. If the flux through the loop is 3.83 × 10-3T· m2, what angle
dangina [55]

Answer:

40.0⁰

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the magnetic flux is expressed as:

\phi = BAcos\theta where:

\phi is the magnetic flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the cross sectional area

\theta is the angle that the normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field.

Given

A = 0.250m²

B = 0.020T

\phi = 3.83 × 10⁻³T· m²

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.020*0.250cosθ

3.83 × 10⁻³ = 0.005cosθ

cosθ = 0.00383/0.005

cosθ = 0.766

θ = cos⁻¹0.766

θ = 40.0⁰

<em>Hence the angle normal to the plane of the loop make with the direction of the magnetic field is 40.0⁰</em>
