Answer:

We will use Potential Energy Formula

Potential Energy = mass × gravitation × height

PE = 0,55 × 10 × 4

PE = 22 J (A)

You want to put a new CD in your car stereo.While driving at 45 mi/h,you look away for 2.0s.What distance (in miles) do you driv

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

You drive 0.025 miles blind (or 132 ft)

Explanation:

(distance) = (speed) x (time)

(distance blind) = (speed) x (time looking for CD)

(distance blind) = (45 mi/hr) x (2 s) x (1/3600 hr/s) = 0.025 miles = 132 ft

Assuming typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a par

taurus [48]

Answer:

The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s

speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s

The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;

Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁

then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.

v₁t₁ = v₂t₂

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)

v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)

v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂

v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂

t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂

$t_1 = \frac{72v_2}{v_1-v_2}\\\\t_1 = \frac{72*5.5}{8.5-5.5}\\\\t_1 = 132 \ s$

The distance traveled is given by;

Δx = v₁t₁

Δx = (8.5)(132)

Δx = 1122 km

Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km

Why might the cost of fossil fuels become more expensive in the future?

ki77a [65]

Because fossil fuels are non-renewable resources.

This means, if we run out, we will not be able to reproduce it.
It would be the last that exists. (For oil, it'd be for the next few hundred years.)
