Answer:The place to go for the answer to such an easy question is the SI Brochure, the document which defines the SI and all its units.
Answer:
16km
Explanation:
First change the minutes into hours then multiply by the distance.
(8÷60)×120=16km
Answer:
the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10
distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm
The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;
Node to Node = λ/2
L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ
Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm
The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;
v = fλ
v = 10 Hz x 15.0 cm
v = 150 cm/s
Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s
Answer:
L = 1.15 m
Explanation:
The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation
a sin θ = m λ
Where a is the width of the slit, λ the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.
The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / L
tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ
We substitute in the first equation
a (y / L) = m λ
The first maximum occurs for m = 1
The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is
y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm
y = 0.575 10⁻² m
Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)
L = a y / λ
Let's calculate
L = 115 10⁻⁶ 0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹
L = 1.15 m
Answer: They travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions.
Explanation:
The vibrations produced by Earthquake are called seismic waves. seismic waves travel from the point where fault occurs. The maximum intensity is about the focus of the fault. These waves travel away from the focus in all directions.
Seismic waves are both transverse (S waves) and longitudinal (P waves). The P and S waves can travel through the Earth where as the surface waves travel above or near the Earth's surface.
