Well, we don't know if it's the CLOSEST one, but it's closer than the other ones on this print-out.

There are actually three clues to this in the seismograms:

1). The waves from the tremor reach the Wink station first ... the P wave gets there 50 seconds before Chicago and 3 whole minutes before Tampa.

2). They are stronger (greater amplitude) at Wink than at Chicago or Tampa.

3). The delay between the P wave and the S wave is the smallest at Wink. This delay between the two waves grows as the detector is farther from the quake.

The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 x 10^-6 K-1. A block of copper 30 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 10 cm thick is he

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The change in volume is $6.885\times 10^{- 5}\$

Solution:

As per the question:

Coefficient of linear expansion of Copper, $\alpha = 17\times 10^{- 6}\ K^{- 1}$

Initial Temperature, T = $0^{\circ}$ = 273 K

Final Temperature, T' = $100^{\circ}$ = 273 + 100 = 373 K

Now,

Initial Volume of the block, V = $30\times 45\times 10\times 10^{- 6}\ m^{3} = 0.0135\ m^{3}$

$V' = V(1 + \gamma \Delta T)$

$\gamma = 3\alpha$

$V' = V(1 + 3\alpha \Delta T)$

where

V' = Final volume

$V' - V= 0.0135\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (T' - T))$

$\Delta V= 0.0135\times 3\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (373 - 273)) = 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\$

What do group 2 elements have in common

Leokris [45]

Although many characteristics are common throughout the group, the heavier metals such as Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra are almost as reactive as the Group 1 Alkali Metals. All the elements in Group 2 have two electrons in their valence shells, giving them an oxidation state of +2.

24. An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a. The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m is

Wewaii [24]

Given :-

An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

To Find :-

The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

Solution :-

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is non inertial frame , we would have to think of a pseudo force .

The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

$\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma$

Hence option d is correct choice .

I hope this helps .

They have the same velocity because their displacements (shortest line from point A to point B, which is a straight line) are the same and they meet at the same time.

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from

ElenaW [278]

When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation $vf^{2}=0+2*a*s$ where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
$vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}$
$vf =134.164 (m/s)$

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
$v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}
$
$v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})$

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰ $P= \frac{v}{vf}= \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707$
