Differentiate between sound waves and seismic waves?

algol13

The only real difference is that common seismic waves travel through the ground and sound waves travel through the air. If you had a pipe attached to granite and you were listening to it, you might detect both.

A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

$F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }$

F = 0.679 N

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall 0.294 m in heigh

Karolina [17]

Answer:

v = 7.65 m/s

t = 0.5882 s

Explanation:

We are told that the salmon started downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall.

Thus, range = 3.18 m

Since the horizontal velocity component is constant, then;

Range = vcosθ × t

Thus,

vcosθ × t = 3.18 - - - (eq 1)

We are told the salmon reached a height of 0.294 m

Thus, using distance equation;

s = v_y•t + ½gt²

g will be negative since motion is against gravity.

s = v_y•t - ½gt²

Thus;

0.294 = v_y•t - ½gt²

v_y = vsinθ

Thus;

0.294 = vtsinθ - ½gt² - - - (eq 2)

From eq(1), making v the subject, we have;

v = 3.18/tcosθ

Plugging into eq 2,we have;

0.294 = (3.18/tcosθ)tsinθ - ½gt²

0.295 = 3.18tanθ - ½gt²

We are given g = 9.81 m/s² and θ = 45°

0.295 = (3.18 × tan 45) - ½(9.81) × t²

0.295 = 3.18 - 4.905t²

3.18 - 0.295 = 4.905t²

4.905t² = 2.885

t = √2.885/4.905

t = 0.5882 s

Thus;

v = 3.18/(0.5882 × cos45)

v = 7.65 m/s

The weight of spaceman Speff at the surface of planet X, solely due to its gravitational pull, is 389 N. If he moves to a distan

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

mass of the planet X = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.

Explanation:

According to Newtons law of universal gravitation,

F = GM₁M₂/r²

Where F = gravitational force, M₁ = mass of the speff, M₂ = mass of the planet X, G = gravitational constant r = distance between the speff and the planet X

making M₂ The subject of the equation above,

M₂ = Fr²/GM₁ .......................... equation 2

Where F = 24.31 N, r = 1.08×18⁴km ⇒( convert to m ) =1.08 × 10⁴ × 1000 m

r = 1.08 × 10⁷ m, G = 6.67 × 10 ⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², M₁ = 75 kg

Substituting this values in equation 2,

M₂ = 24.13(1.08 × 10⁷ )²/75( 6.67 × 10 ⁻¹¹)

M₂ = 24.13 × 1.17 × 10¹⁴/500.25 × 10⁻¹¹

M₂ = (28.23 × 10¹⁴)/(500.25 × 10⁻¹¹)

M₂ = 0.056 × 10²⁵

M₂ = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.

Therefore mass of the planet X = 5.6 × 10²³ kg.
