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.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

16200 J

Explanation:

t = Time the battery is on = 60 hours

I = Current = $15\times 10^{-3}\ A$

Average voltage

$V=\dfrac{6+4}{2}=5\ V$

Energy is given by

$E=V\times I\times t$

$\\\Rightarrow E=5\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 60\times 3600$

$\\\Rightarrow E=16200\ J$

The energy delivered in the given time is 16200 J

The figure below shows a man in a boat on a lake. The man's mass is 74 kg, and the boat's is 135 kg. The man and boat are initia

vazorg [7]

The velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

<h3>Final velocity of the boat</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

Pi is initial momentum
Pf is final momentum

v(74 + 135) = 15 x 5

v(209) = 75

v = 75/209

v = 0.36 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

An attacker at the base of a castle wall 3.60 m high throws a rock straight up with speed 8.00 m/s from a height of 1.70 m above

ryzh [129]

Answer:

we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

Explanation:

given data

base = 3.60 m

speed u = 8 m/s

height = 1.70 m

to find out

check change in speed

solution

we know here formula for v that is

v² = u² - 2gh ............1 for upward speed

v² = u² + 2gh ............2 for projected speed

so here put all value and find v with h = 3.60 - 1.70 = 1.9 m

v² = 8² - 2(9.8) 1.9 = 26.76

v² = 8² + 2(9.8) 1.9 = 101.24

v = 5.173 m/s ..............3

v = 10.061 m/s ...................4

so change in speed form 3 and 4 equation

change in speed = v - u = 8 - 5.173 = 2.827 m/s .................5

change in speed = v - u = 10.061 - 8 = 2.061 m/s ..................6

so now we can say here that | v² - u² | is the same for upward as for downward and change in the speed is different here so | v - u | same whenever rock travel up, down for same time and not same distances

What is the static friction force??

Paul [167]

55 Kg has a weight of 55x9.8= 539 N
That is equal to the Normal force.
The static friction = 0.19 x 539 = 102.4 N
