What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 15 km/s and a frequency of 12 Hz?

Physics

Natasha2012 [34]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: 1.25 km</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity V of a wave is given by:

V=\lambda.f   (1)

Where:

\lambda  is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave. Its unit is Hertz (1Hz=\frac{1}{s})

So, we have to find \lambda  from equation (1):

\lambda=\frac{V}{f}   (2)

\lambda=\frac{15km/s}{12Hz}

Finally we obtain the wavelength of the earthquake wave:

\lambda=1.25 km

Static charges can be applied to neutral objects by friction, induction or conduction. What do all of these methods utilize to c
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

B) electrons

Explanation:

When charge is transferred by friction, induction or conduction, the charge carriers are the electrons.

In fact, protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus of the atoms, so they are tightly bound and they cannot be easily gained/given off. On the contrary, electrons are found in the electron clouds around the nucleus, so atoms can more easily gain/lose electrons, which become free and can be passed by an object to another.

The three methods of charging are:

- Friction: by rubbing two objects together, electrons may be transferred from one to another

- Induction: by moving a charged object closer to a neutral object, opposite charges in the neutral object migrate towards the opposite ends of the object, and if the object is connected to the ground, the charges of one polarity leave the object, leaving the object charged

- Conduction: by putting a charged object in contact with a neutral object, electrons can be transferred from the charged object to the neutral one

A car and a heavy truck roll down a hill and reach the bottom at the same speed. Compared with the momentum of the truck, the mo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A. less

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to it mass and velocity. It is the product of mass and velocity of the object. Given as

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) \times Velocity (v)

So the momentum of car,

p_{c} = m_{c}\times v_{c}

Momentum of truck,

p_{t} = m_{t}\times v_{t}

We know that, mass of car is less than that of truck and velocity of the two are same. It is implied that, momentum of car will be less than that of truck.

Approximately how long will it take light to travel to 1.7 AU in minutes? Use 3 × 108 m/s for the speed of light. unanswered
stich3 [128]

Answer:

14.1mins

Explanation:

We know that

Time =Distance/Speed

So

= 1.7 au/ (3 E8 m /s )

= 1.7 x 1.496 x 10^11 m /(3 x 10^8 m /s

Converting Au to meters (1.7 x 1.496 x 10^11 m)

= 847.7 s

=14.1 mins

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

P = n P₀ 4.9 10¹⁴  Pa

Explanation:

The radiation pressure for full absorption is

        P = S / c

Where S the pointing vector, which is equal to the intensity of the beam that is defined as the energy per unit area per unit time

The energy of the protons can be calculated

       Em = K = ½ m v²

Area

          A = π r²

Intensity is

          I = n ½ m v² / π r²

          I = ½ n m /π v² / r²

We replace

         S = U / t A

          S = ½ n m /π v² / r² Δt

The pressure is

           P = 1/c   (½ n m /π (v / r Δt)²2

           Δt = 45 10⁻⁹ s

           P = n [½ m /πc  (v/r)²] 4.9 10¹⁴

The amount in square brackets is the pressure that a proton creates, which is why it is useful

         P = n P₀ 4.9 10¹⁴  Pa

Where Po is the pressure created by a proton

a ladybug crawls vertically on a leaf. its motion is shown on the following graph of vertical position y vs time t what is the a
Sladkaya [172]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the position-time graph of a ladybug. We need to find the average speed of the ladybug between t = 4 s to t = 7 s.

We know that, the slope of a position-time graph gives velocity of an object. It can be given by :

v=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{t_2-t_1}

In this case, the position of a ladybug at t = 4 s and at t = 7 s is the same i.e. 2 m.

It means its velocity is equal to at this time or we can say that ladybug is at rest.
