The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth.

a volleyball is hit upward with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. calculate the displacement of the volleyball when its final velo

Luden [163]

Answer:

The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s

displacement of the volleyball, d = ?

Apply the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2gd

2gd = u² - v²

$d = \frac{u^{2}-v^{2} }{2g}\\\\d = \frac{7.5^{2}-2.2^{2} }{2*9.8}\\\\d = 2.62 \ m$

Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

A model rocket blasts off from the ground, rising straight upward with a constant acceleration that has a magnitude of 86.0 m/s2

Harman [31]

<span>When the fuel of the rocket is consumed, the acceleration would be zero. However, at this phase the rocket would still be going up until all the forces of gravity would dominate and change the direction of the rocket. We need to calculate two distances, one from the ground until the point where the fuel is consumed and from that point to the point where the gravity would change the direction.

Given:
a = 86 m/s^2
t = 1.7 s

Solution:

d = vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = (0) (1.7) + 0.5 (86) (1.7)^2
d = 124.27 m

vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + 86 (1.7)
vf = 146.2 m/s (velocity when the fuel is consumed completely)

Then, we calculate the time it takes until it reaches the maximum height.
vf = vi + at
0 = 146.2 + (-9.8) (t)
t = 14.92 s

Then, the second distance
d= vi (t) + 0.5 (a) (t^2)
d = 146.2 (14.92) + 0.5 (-9.8) (14.92^2)
d = 1090.53 m

Then, we determine the maximum altitude:
d1 + d2 = 124.27 m + 1090.53 m = 1214.8 m</span>

A particle with charge 5 . 0- µ C is placed at the corner of a cube. (Physics Help)? A particle with charge 5.0-µC is placed at

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Gauss law states that the electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge inside the surface. This is expressed mathematically in the form of:

Φ = Q / εo

Where,

Φ = the electric flux = unknown (which we have to find for)

Q = the net electric charge = 5.0 µC = 5 E-6 C

εo = the permittivity of free space = a constant value = 8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2

Plugging in the values into the equation will result in:

Φ = 5 E-6 C / (8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2)

Φ = 564,971.75 Wb = <span>5.6 x 10^5 Wb </span>

A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in vacuum. At a given point P and at a particular time, the electric field is i

olasank [31]

Answer:

The direction of the wave propagation is the negative z -axis

The amplitude of electric and magnetic field are $A_E= 3.35*10^5 V/m$ ,

$A_M= 1.12 *10^{-3} T$ respectively

Explanation:

According to right hand rule, your finger (direction of electric field) would be pointing in the positive x-axis i.e towards your right let your palms be face toward the direction of the magnetic field i.e negative y-axis (toward the ground ) Then anywhere your thumb stretched out is facing is the direction of propagation of the wave here in this case is the negative z -axis

The Intensity of the wave is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon _O E_{rms}^2$
