Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the gl

obe. One such meteor produced infrasound waves with a wavelength of 6.5 km that propagated 8830 km in 8.47 h. What was the frequency of these waves?

Answer:

0.04455 Hz

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Wavelength, λ = 6.5km = 6500m

Distance travelled by the wave, x = 8830km = 8830000m

Time taken, t = 8.47hours = 8.47 * 3600 = 30492 secs

First, we find the speed of the wave:

Speed, v = distance/time = x/t

v = 8830000/30492 = 289.58 m/s

Frequency, f, is given as velocity divided by wavelength:

f = v/λ

f = 289.58/6500

f = 0.04455 Hz

zysi [14]

Answer:

Work done is equal to 125.44 J

Explanation:

We have given mass of the student m = 80 kg

Distance moved d = 4 m

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu =0.4

So normal force exerted by student F=\mu mg=0.4\times 80\times 9.8=313.6N

We know that work done is equal to multiplication of force and distance

So work done W=Fd=313.6\times 0.4=125.44J

A 200 g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.40 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the energy stored in a spring in relation to conservation of energy

Given data

Mass of block m =200g

To kg= 200/1000= 0.2kg

Spring constant k = 1.4kN/m

=1400N/m

Compression x= 10cm

In meter x=10/100 = 0.1m

Using energy considerations or energy conservation principles

The potential energy stored in the spring equals the kinetic energy with which the block move away from the spring

Potential Energy stored in spring

P.E=1/2kx^2

Kinetic energy of the block

K.E =1/mv^2

Where v = velocity of the block

K.E=P.E (energy consideration)

1/2kx^2=1/mv^2

Kx^2= mv^2

Solving for v we have

v^2= (kx^2)/m

v^2= (1400*0.1^2)/0.2

v^2= (14)/0.2

v^2= 70

v= √70

v= 8.36m/s

a. Distance moved if the ramp exerts no force on the block

Is

S= v^2/2gsinθ

Assuming g= 9. 81m/s^2

S= (8.36)^2/2*9.81*sin60

S= 69.88/19.62*0.866

S= 69.88/16.99

S= 4.11m

42) The sailboat travels east with velocity v_e=30 mph, while the current moves south with speed v_s=30 mph. Since the two velocities are perpendicular to each other, he resultant velocity will be given by the Pytagorean theorem:
v= \sqrt{v_e^2+v_s^2}= \sqrt{(30)^2+(30)^2}=42 mph
and the direction is in between the two original directions, therefore south-east. So, the correct answer is
D) 42 mph southeast

43) Since the light moves by uniform motion, we can calculate the distance corresponding to one light year by using the basic relationship between velocity, space and time. In fact, we know the velocity:
v=300,000,000 m/s=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s
and the time is one year, corresponding to:
t=32,000,000 s=3.2 \cdot 10^7 s
therefore, the distance corresponding to one light year is:
S=vt=(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(3.2 \cdot 10^7 s)=9.6 \cdot 10^{15}m
Therefore, the correct answer is D.

44) For the purpose of the problem, we can assume that the light travels instantaneously from the flash to us (because the distances involved are very small), so the time between the flash and the thunder corresponds to the time it took for the sound to travel to us.
The speed of sound is
v=1100 ft/s=750 mph=335 m/s
And since the time between the flash and the thunder is t=3 s, the distance is
S=vt=(335 m/s)(3 s)=1005 m=0.62 miles
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 3/5 mile.
