1.) There was an earthquake in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 18, 2020, in the morning at  9 hours, 9 minutes, and 45 seconds Mo

untain Standard Time (9:9:45 MST).  If the velocity of the p-wave is 7.3 km/sec and the velocity of the s-wave is 5.1 km/sec and the s-p time lag is 16 seconds, what is the distance in kilometers from Salt Lake City to the focus of the earthquake?  Explain how you calculated the answer.

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera
Ede4ka [16]
The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w
where 
m_w = 30 g is the mass of the water
C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C) is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
Q = m_i L_f
where m_i is the mass of the ice while L_f =334 J/g is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
m_i =  \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

Which type of electronic exchange connects buyers with sellers within a specific industry?
Sonja [21]
I think the correct answer would be horizontal exchanges or market. It is a type of market wherein a service or a product would meet a need of a very wide range of consumers from different sectors. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
KIM [24]

Answer:

- the expected value is 8

- the standard deviation is 2.8284

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The model N(t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a poisson process,

∴ N(t) has distribution of poisson distribution with parameter (λt)

so

the mean is;

λ = 1 every month = 1/3 per month

E[N(t)] = λt

E[N(t)] = (1/3)(24)

E[N(t)] = 8

Therefore, the expected value is 8

For poisson process, Variance and mean are the same,

Var[N(t)] = Var[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = E[N(24)]

Var[N(t)] = 8

so the standard deviation will be;

σ[N(24)] = √(Var[N(t)] )

σ[N(24)] = √(8 )

σ[N(24)] = 2.8284

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.8284
