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.

suppose a 51 kg bungee jumper steps off the royal gorge bridge, in colorado. The bridge is situated 321 m above the arkansas riv

Akimi4 [234]

The total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is 90,000 J.

The given parameters;

mass of the jumper, m = 51 kg
height of the bridge. h = 321 m
spring constant of the cord, k = 32 N/m
extension of the cord, x = 179 m - 104 m = 75 m

The total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is calculated as follows;

U = ¹/₂kx² + mgΔh

where;

Δh is the change in height after falling

U = ¹/₂(32)(75)² + (51)(9.8)(0)

U = 90,000 J

Thus, the total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is 90,000 J.

the pull of gravity on mars is 3.7m/s^2. if a astronaut on mars lifts a 10 kg rock 1 m off the ground, just to see whats under i

Elanso [62]

Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula:

$PE_{grav} =mgh$

Where:
PEgrav = Gravitational potential energy
m= mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height

On Earth acceleration due to gravity is a constant 9.8 but since the scenario is on Mars, the pull of gravity is different. In this case, it is 3.7, so we will use that for g.

So put in what you know and solve for what you don't know.
m = 10kg
g = 3.7m/s^2
h = 1m

So we put that in and solve it.
$PE_{grav} =mgh$
$PE_{grav} =(10kg)(3.7m/s^{2})(1m)$
$PE_{grav} =37J$

A cruise ship is moving at constant speed through the water. The vacationers on the ship are eager to arrive at their next desti

MArishka [77]

Answer: 1. higher than it was before they started running

Explanation: As the vacationers run towards the back(stern) of the ship the exerting more pressure against the pressure exerted by the wave supporting the moving ship,the pressure exerted on the moving ship will be increased, leading to a slight increase in the speed of the ship compared to the speed before they started running towards the back(stern) of the ship.

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at rate of 1.1×10^6 kg/s and falls 49.4 m. How much power is generated by the fallin

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.

Explanation:

Power: Power can be defined as the time rate of doing work. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

Mathematically,

Power (P) = Work done/time or Energy/time

P = mgh/t............................... Equation 1

P = δgh............................. Equation 2

Where δ = fall rate, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

Given: δ = 1.1×10⁶ kg/s, h = 49.4 m g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 2

P = 1.1×10⁶×49.4×9.81

P = 533.08×10⁶

P = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.

Thus the power generated is = 5.33×10⁸ Watt.
