Answer:

A. Less than 2.9

Explanation:

Richter scale is a measure of the intensity of the earthquakes designed and developed by Charles Richter in 1935. Its value ranges from 1.0 to 9.0 and greater. The earthquakes having a Richter magnitude of less than 2.9 are minor earthquakes which are slightly felt by a few humans but can be recorded on a seismograph. Earthquakes with magnitude above 2.9 can easily be felt by humans.

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator =heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec =140\times 3600=504000j/hour

Let the temperature be \Delta T

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 [tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T

So  \Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K

Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l
wlad13 [49]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>

What is a hydraulic system​
Simora [160]

Explanation:

Hydraulic systems use the pump to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid passes through the valves and flows to the cylinder where the hydraulic energy converts back into mechanical energy. The valves help to direct the flow of the liquid and relieve pressure when needed
