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 .

Help yet again :) A hockey player is skating on the ice at 15km/h. He shoots the puck at 138 km/h according to a radar gun on th
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

speed of puck acc. to the radar gun = 138 km/h

speed of player = 15 km/h

since the player is in motion when he shoots, the speed of the puck will be the sum of the speed of the player and the speed at which he shot. so,

speed of puck = speed of player + speed of puck acc. to player

138 = 15 + speed of puck acc. to player

speed of puck acc. to player = 138 -15

speed of puck acc. to player = 123 km/h

yes

Explanation:

objects with constant velocity also have zero net external force. this means the forces on the object are balanced. this mean they are in equilibrium

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.
