P waves<span> are produced by all earthquakes. They are compression </span>waves<span> that </span>form <span>when rocks break due to pressure in the Earth. S </span>waves<span> are secondary </span>waves<span> that are also created during an earthquake. They travel at a slower speed than the </span>p-waves<span>.

S waves are the waves that come after the earthquake and P waves

A 331 N stoplight is hanging in equilibrium from cables as shown. The tension in the right cable is 550 N, and it makes an angle
Ksju [112]
<u>The correct answer is 580.

</u>The upward force the right tension cord exerts on the traffic light is equal to about 114.35 N. Because the stoplight is being help upright the natural force (upward force) provided by both tension cords must be equal to the gravitational (downward) force of the traffic light which is 331.
If 114 is the upward force on the right side then 216 N must be the force provided by the left side.
You then have a right triangle with the length opposite theta = about 216 and theta = 22. So sin(22)* X = 216, where X is the length of the hypotenuse, or the force found in the left cord.
with sig figs added to the mix the answer is 580 N

I believe the answer is true to the E dgenuity physics course

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.
malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

You’re an electrical engineer designing an alternator (the generator that charges a car’s battery). Mechanical engineers specify
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

I will specify a value of 0.009T for the alternator’s magnetic field

Explanation:

E_peak = 14 V

d = 10cm = 0.1m, so r = 0.1/2 =0.05m

N = 250 turns

f = 1200rpm = (1200rp/m x 1m/60sec) = 20 revolutions per second

At peak performance, peak voltage is given by the equation;

E_peak = NABω

Let's make the magnetic field B the subject;

B = E_peak/(NAω)

Now we know that ω = 2πf

Thus, ω = 2π x 20 revs/s = 125.664 revs/s.

Let's convert it to the standard unit which is rad/s.

1 rev/s = 6.283 rad/s

Thus, 125.664 revs/s = 125.664 x 6.283 = 789.55 rad/s

Area (A) = πr² = π x 0.05² = 0.007854 m²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values to get;

B = 14/[(250 x 0.007854 x 789.55)] = 0.009T

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much work was done?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 45 J</h3>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>workdone = force × distance</h3>

From the question

distance = 3 meters

force = 15 newtons

We have

workdone = 15 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>45 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
