Disturbances inside Earth’s core cause earthquakes. The starting point of the disturbance is called the epicenter. Why does the

The waves lose energy in the form of heat. The frequency of the waves continues to increase. Disturbances inside Earth's core cause earthquakes. The starting point of the disturbance is called the epicenter.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

How can the IMA of a first- class lever be increased?
Dimas [21]
IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage

First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1

Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2

=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2

IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2

Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.

If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot,  IMA decreases.

If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot  (X1) IMA will decrease.

Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(y)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}  

Explanation:

Given data

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

so

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to \pi /2 for θ

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} y²p dA

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x)  = k ({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0 ×  {θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0

I(x)  = k × ({6}^{6}/6) × (  {\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)

I(x)  = k ×  ({6}^{5}) ×   {\pi /4}

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}    .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y)   by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be  I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}   ......................2

Thomas Newcomen was the first to produce a working steam engine. Why is the work of James Watt more widely known than the work o
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen ans more suitable for the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

James Watt is more widely know for working steam engine because Watt has created better engine which is suitable for the industrial revolution. The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen. Watt developed the condensing arrangement by using piston which lessen the initial pressure leading to effectively worked than Newcomen's

A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

C' = \frac{1}{2}C

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

V= \frac{Q}{C}

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

V' = 2 V

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.
