Most persons are of the belief that the old time hard or solid iron cars are much safer in collisions than the new model softer

cars. But how can newer, softer cars be safer in a collision, considering momentum?

Softer cars will crumple better in a collision- they absorb more of the impact force and therefore are safer

6. An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of t

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s

Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s

Time = 71 sec

We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave

Using formula of distance

$d=v\times t$

$d=9.1\times t$ ....(I)

The distance of longitudinal wave

$d=5.7\times (t+71)$ ....(II)

From the first equation

$t=\dfrac{d}{9.1}$

Put the value of t in equation (II)

$d =5.7\times(\dfrac{d}{9.1}+71)$

$\dfrac{9.1d-5.7d}{9.1}=71\times5.7$

$d0.3736=404.7$

$d =1083.24\ km$

Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.

(a) If two sound waves, one in a gas medium and one in a liquid medium, are equal in intensity, what is the ratio of the pressur

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of the pressure amplitude of the waves is 43.21

(b) The ratio of the intensities of the waves is 0.000535

Explanation:

Given;

density of gas, $\rho _g$ = 2.27 kg/m³

density of liquid, $\rho _l$ = 972 kg/m³

speed of sound in gas, $C_g$ = 376 m/s

speed of sound in liquid, $C_l$ = 1640 m/s

The of the sound wave is given by;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C} \\\\P_o^2 = 2 \rho C I\\\\p_o = \sqrt{2 \rho CI}$

Where;

$P_o$ is the pressure amplitude

$P_o_g= \sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI} -------(1)\\\\P_o_l= \sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}---------(2)\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \frac{\sqrt{2 \rho _l C_lI}}{\sqrt{2 \rho _g C_gI}} \\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho _l C_lI}{2 \rho _g C_gI} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ \rho _l C_l}{ \rho _g C_g} }\\\\ \frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = \sqrt{\frac{ (972)( 1640)}{ (2.27)( 376)} }\\\\\frac{P_o_l}{P_o_g} = 43.21$

(b) when the pressure amplitudes are equal, the ratio of the intensities is given as;

$I = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho C}\\\\I_g = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _g C_g}-------(1)\\\\I_l = \frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l}-------(2)\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = (\frac{P_o^2}{2 \rho _l C_l})*(\frac{2\rho_gC_g}{P_o^2} )\\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{\rho _gC_g}{\rho_lC_l} \\\\\frac{I_l}{I_g} = \frac{(2.27)(376)}{(972)(1640)}\\\\ \frac{I_l}{I_g} = 0.000535$

How does the law of conservation of energy relate to the system shown in this model

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system.
