Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.

Apply conservation of angular momentum:
L = Iw = const.
L = angular momentum, I = moment of inertia, w = angular velocity, L must stay constant.

L must stay the same before and after the professor brings the dumbbells closer to himself.

His initial angular velocity is 2π radians divided by 2.0 seconds, or π rad/s. His initial moment of inertia is 3.0kg•m^2

His final moment of inertia is 2.2kg•m^2.

Calculate the initial angular velocity:
L = 3.0π

Final angular velocity:
L = 2.2w

Set the initial and final angular momentum equal to each other and solve for the final angular velocity w:

3.0π = 2.2w
w = 1.4π rad/s

The rotational energy is given by:
KE = 0.5Iw^2

Initial rotational energy:
KE = 0.5(3.0)(π)^2 = 14.8J

Final rotational energy:
KE = 0.5(2.2)(1.4)^2 = 21.3J

There is an increase in rotational energy. Where did this energy come from? It came from changing the moment of inertia. The professor had to exert a radially inward force to pull in the dumbbells, doing work that increases his rotational energy.

If the rods with diameters and lengths listed below are made of the same material, which will undergo the largest percentage len
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a

Explanation:

For this exercise we are asked to change the length of the bar by the action of a force applied along its length, in this case we focus on the expression of longitudinal elasticity

               F / A = Y ΔL/L

where F / A is the force per unit length, ΔL / L is the fraction of the change in length, and Y is Young's modulus.

In this case the bars are made of the same material by which Young's modulus is the same for all

              ΔL / L = (F / A) / Y

the area of ​​the bar is the area of ​​a circle

               A = π r² = π d² / 4

               A = π / 4 d²

we substitute

              ΔL / L = (F / Y) 4 /πd²

changing length

               ΔL = (F / Y 4 /π) L / d²

The amount between paracentesis are all constant in this exercise, let's look for the longitudinal change

a) values ​​given d and 3L

               ΔL = cte 3L / d²

               ΔL = cte L /d²  3

To find the percentage, we must divide the change in magnitude by its value and multiply by 100.

                ΔL/L % = [(F /Y  4/π 1/d²) 3L ] / 3L 100

                ΔL/L  % = cte 100%

 

b) 3d and L value, we repeat the same process as in part a

               ΔL = cte L / 9d²

               ΔL = cte L / d² 1/9

               ΔL / L% = cte 100/9

               ΔL / L% = cte 11%

   

c) 2d and 2L value

               ΔL = (cte L / d ½ )/ 2L

               ΔL/L% = cte 100/4

               ΔL/L% = cte 25%

d) value 4d and L

               ΔL = cte L / d² 1/16

                ΔL/L % = cte 100/16

                ΔL/L % = cte 6.25%

   

The highest percentage of change corresponds to the thinnest rod, the correct answer is a

A block (mass 5 kg) is initially moving to the left at 10 m/s. After hitting the wall, the ball is moving to the right at 5 m/s.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The impulse of the net force on the ball during its collision with the wall is 25N

Explanation:

Step one :

Given data

Mass =5kg

Velocity v1=10m/s

Velocity v2=5m/s

The equation for impulse is given as

P=m(v1-v2)

Where P =impulse

Substituting our values into the equation we have

P=5*(10-5)

P=5*5

P=25N

The impulse 25N

What is impulse?

Impulse is the change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for an interval of time.
