If the wave is detected 12.5 minutes after the earthquake, estimate the distance from the detector to the site of the quake​

Physics

Answer:

Remember the relation:

Speed*Time = Distance.

We can estimate that the speed at which an earthquake "moves", in the surface, is:

S = 6km/s  (this is a low estimation actually)

Then if the wave is detected 12.5 minutes after the earthquake, we know that it traveled for 12.5 minutes before reaching the detector.

So we know the speed of the wave and the time it took to reach the detector, then we can use the equation:

Speed*Time = Distance.

to find the distance.

First, we should write the time in seconds

we know that:

1 min = 60 s

then:

12.5 min = 12.5*(60 s) = 750 s

Then, the wave traveled with a speed of 6 km/s for 750 seconds until it reached the detector, then the distance that it traveled is:

(6km/s)*750s = 4500 km

The distance between the detector and the site of the quake is around 4500 km.

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A
Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

F = ILBsin \theta

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

\theta = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But \theta = 90\°

F = ILB

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

B = \frac{F}{IL}

Here the force per unit length,

B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}

Replacing with our values,

B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}

B = 0.0078T

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T

Jeff of the Jungle swings on a 7.6-m vine that initially makes an angle of 32 ∘ with the vertical.
shtirl [24]

To solve this problem we will use the trigonometric concepts to find the distance h, which will allow us to find the speed of Jeff and that will finally be the variable that will indicate the total tension, since it is the variable of the centrifugal Force given in the vine at the lowest poing of the swing.

From the image:

cos (32) = \frac{(7.6-h)}{7.6}

h = 1.1548m

When Jeff reaches his lowest point his potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.1548)}

v= 4.75m/s

Tension in the string at the lowest point is sum of weight of Jeff and the his centripetal force

T = W+F_c

T = mg + \frac{mv^2}{r}

T = (83)(9.8)+\frac{(9.8)( 4.75)^2}{7.6}

T = 842.49N

Therefore the tension in the vine at the lowest point of the swing is 842.49N
