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.

Bas_tet [7]

The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.

A truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

A pitcher throws a 0.140 kg baseball, and it approaches the bat at a speed of 35.0 m/s. The bat does Wnc = 75.0 J of work on the

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The speed of the ball is 42.5 m/s

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is:

$K_1=\frac{1}{2} m v_0^2=\frac{1}{2}*0.140 kg*(35.0 m/s)^2$ = 85.75 J

The speed of the ball after leaving the bat is:

$K_2=K_1+W_{nc}\\ \frac{1}{2}mV^2= 85.75 J + 75 J\\ (\frac{1}{2}mV^2)2=( 160.75 J)2\\ mV^2= 321.5 J\\ V^2= \frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg} \\ V=\sqrt{\frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg}}$

V=47.92 m/s

Using kinematic equation we can find the speed of the ball after being 25 m above the point of collision:

$V_f^2-V^2=-2gh$

$V_f^2-(47.92 m/s)^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m$

$V_f^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2$

$V_f=\sqrt{-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2}$

$V_f=42.5m/s$

For a storm to be a blizzard, the wind must be at least

Anton [14]

For a storm to be a blizzard, the wind must be at least 35 miles per hour. This is just one criteria for considering a storm to be a blizzard. The wind speed of 35 miles per hour should reduce the visibility to less than 400 meters. The last criteria is that the storm must continue for a time frame of at least 3 hours.
