List three unique examples of situations in your daily life where expansion and contraction occur.

1 answer:

3 0

When you put ice in the freezer, the water expands when in gets cold.
the sidewalks have cracks in them to make room for the expansion and contraction when it heats up and cools down.
as you drive a car, the heat from combustion causes metal to expand. when you turn the car off, the metal cools down and contracts

Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par

taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

$t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 = \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s$

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

A 256 Hz tuning fork is resonating in a closed tube on a warm day when the speed of sound is 346 m/s. What is the length of the

Ilya [14]

Assuming our "closed tube" is closed at only one end, then
 v = fλ = f*4L/n
 where "n" is the harmonic number. So
 L = nv / 4f = n*346m/s / 4*256Hz = n*0.38 m
 Since the only option in your list that is an integer multiple of 0.38 m is 1.35 m
 I'd say that we're hearing the fourth harmonic.
answer is
A. 1.35 m
