wink is the seismic station closest to the earthquake. describe two evidences from the seismogram that demonstrates this?

Physics

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.

Hey guys can you help me solve this problem "how long will it take a car travelling 30m/s to come to stop ifs its acceleration i
salantis [7]

Answer:

10 seconds.

Explanation:

We can use a kinematic equation where we know the final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and need to determine the time <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle v_f = v_i + at<em />

<em />

The initial velocit is 30 m/s, the final velocity is 0 m/s (as we stopped), and the acceleration is -3 m/s².

Substitute and solve for <em>t: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (0\text{ m/s}) & = (30 \text{ m/s}) + (-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}) t \\ \\  t & = \frac{-30\text{ m/s}}{-3 \text{ m/s$^2$}} \\ \\ & = 10 \text{ s} \end{aligned}<em />

<em />

Hence, it will take the car 10 seconds to come to a stop.

a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 45.0 m tall and lands 24.0 m from the base. What was the ball´s initia
Sliva [168]

ball drops 45m under g=10m/s/s

45=1/2x10xt^2 ... application of kinematic equaion from rest

90/10=t^2

t=3

24.0 m in 3 secs => 8m/s no air resistance

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the sun. its closest approach to the sun is a distance of 4.5 1010 m (inside the orbit
barxatty [35]

r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m

v1 = 9*10^4 m/s

From conservation of energy

K1 +U1 = K2 +U2

0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2

0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2

M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg

G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2

0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))

v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s
