The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.09 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.5512 km/s

. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 64.9 s after that of the longitudinal waves. How far away was the earthquake

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of transverse wave Vt = 5.09 km/s

Velocity of longitudinal wave Vl = 8.5512 km/s

Let earthquake occurred d km  away .

Time taken by transverse wave to travel d distance

= d / 5.09 s

Time taken by longitudinal  wave to travel d distance

= d / 8.5512 s

According to question

\frac{d}{5.09} -\frac{d}{8.5512} = 64.9

.19646 d - .11694 d = 64.9

.07952 d = 64.9

d = 816.15 km .

A battery-operated car utilizes a 120.0 V battery with negligible internal resistance. Find the charge, in coulombs, the batteri
fgiga [73]

Answer:

4.29×10⁵ C

Explanation:

From the question,

The energy stored in the battery = Kinetic energy of the car+ Energy needed to make the car climbed the hill+Energy required to exert a force.

E = 1/2mv²+mgh+Fd.................... Equation 1

Where E = Energy stored in the battery, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car, h = height of the hill, F = force exerted on the car, d = distance traveled by the car.

But,

d = vt.................... Equation 2

Where v = velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

E = 1/2mv²+mgh+F(vt)................... Equation 3

Given: m = 770 kg, v = 26 m/s, h = 2.15×10² m = 215 m, F = 5.3×10² N = 530 N, t = 1 hour = 3600 s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

E = 1/2(770)(26²)+(770)(9.8)(215)+(530)(26)(3600)

E = 260260+1622390+49608000

E = 51490650 J

Using,

E = qV................. Equation 4

Where q = charge of the battery, V = Voltage.

make q the subject of the equation

q = E/V............... Equation 5

Given: E = 51490650 J, V = 120 V

Substitute into equation 5

q = 51490650/120

q = 429088.75 C

q = 4.29×10⁵ C

Projectile Motion—A tennis ball is thrown out a window 28 m above the ground at an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s and 20.0° below
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The distance will be x = 41.7 [m]

Explanation:

We must first find the components in the x & y axes of the initial velocity.

(v_{o})_{x} = 15*cos(20)= 14.09[m/s]\\(v_{o})_{y} = 15*sin(20)= 5.13[m/s]

The acceleration is the gravity acceleration therefore.

g = 9.81 [m/s^2]

Now we can calculate how long it takes to fall.

y=(v_{o})_{y}*t-0.5*g*t^2\\-28 = 5.13*t-0.5*9.81*t^2\\-28=-4.905*t^2+5.13*t\\4.905*t^2-5.13*t=28\\t = 2.96[s]

With this time we can find the horizontal distance that runs the projectile.

x=(v_{o})_{x}*t\\x=14.09*2.96\\x=41.7[m]

A solenoid that is 78.8 cm long has a cross-sectional area of 15.9 cm2. There are 914 turns of wire carrying a current of 8.25 A
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

(a) Energy density will be equal to 57.31J/m^3

(b) Total energy will be equal to 0.0718 J

Explanation:

It is given that length of solenoid l = 78.8 cm = 0.788 m

Cross sectional area A=15.9cm^2=15.9\times 10^{-4}m^2

Number of turns of the wire N = 914

Current in the solenoid i = 8.25 A

Inductance of the wire is equal to L=\frac{\mu _0N^2A}{l}=\frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 914^2\times 15.9\times 10^{-4}}{0.788}=2.117\times 10^{-3}H

(b) Total energy stored in magnetic field U=\frac{1}{2}Li^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 2.11\times 10^{-3}\times 8.25^2=0.0718J

(a) Energy density will be equal to

U_b=\frac{0.0718}{15.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.788}=57.31J/m^3
