How can seismographs be used to predict hurricane intensity?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: The earth is a noisy place. Seismometers, which measure ground movements to detect earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and manmade explosives, are constantly recording smaller vibrations caused by ocean waves, rushing rivers, and industrial activity.

Which particles are heavy and which are light

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons are heavy, Electrons are extremely light

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and reside in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Electrons are extremely lightweight and exist in a cloud orbiting the nucleus.

A spherical balloon is made from a material whose mass is 3.30 kg. The thickness of the material is negligible compared to the 1

stellarik [79]

Answer:

563712.04903 Pa

Explanation:

m = Mass of material = 3.3 kg

r = Radius of sphere = 1.25 m

v = Volume of balloon = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

M = Molar mass of helium = $4.0026\times 10^{-3}\ kg/mol$

$\rho$ = Density of surrounding air = $1.19\ kg/m^3$

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T = Temperature = 345 K

Weight of balloon + Weight of helium = Weight of air displaced

$mg+m_{He}g=\rho vg\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=\rho vg-m\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=1.19\times \frac{4}{3}\pi 1.25^3-3.3\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=6.4356\ kg$

Mass of helium is 6.4356 kg

Moles of helium

$n=\frac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{6.4356}{4.0026\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=1607.85489$

Ideal gas law

$P=\frac{nRT}{v}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{1607.85489\times 8.314\times 345}{\frac{4}{3}\pi 1.25^3}\\\Rightarrow P=563712.04903\ Pa$

The absolute pressure of the Helium gas is 563712.04903 Pa

I would like help with this physics problem

Darina [25.2K]

(a) This is a freefall problem in disguise - when the ball returns to its original position, it will be going at the same speed but in the opposite direction. So the ball's final velocity is the negative of its initial velocity.

Recall that

$v_f=v_i+at$

We have $v_f=-v_i$ , so that

$-2v_i=at\implies-2\left(8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)=\left(-2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\implies t=8\,\mathrm s$

(b) The speed of the ball at the start and at the end of the roll are the same 8 m/s, so the average speed is also 8 m/s.

(d) The position of the ball $x_f$ at time $t$ is given by

$x_f=x_i+v_it+\dfrac12at^2$

Take the starting position to be the origin, $x_i=0$ . Then after 6 seconds,

$x_f=\left(8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(-2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2=42\,\mathrm m$

so the ball is 42 m away from where it started.

We're not asked to say in which direction it's moving at this point, but just out of curiosity we can determine that too:

$x_f-x_i=\dfrac{v_i+v_f}2t\implies42\,\mathrm m=\dfrac{8\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+v_f}2(6\,\mathrm s)\implies v_f=6\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$
