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 .

Jack travelled 360 km at an average speed of 80 km/h. Elaine
diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

Explanation:

Total Distance covered by Jack = 360km

Average Speed of Jack = 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = Distance / Average speed = 360 km / 80 km/h

Time taken by Jack to complete his journey = 4.5 hours

As it is given the both Jack and Elain travelled the same amount of distance:

Total distance travelled by Elain = 360 km

It is given that Elain took 1.5 hourse more than Jack to cover the distance, so Time taken by Elain to cover the distance is = 4.5 hours + 1.5 hours = 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = Distance/ time = 360 km / 6 hours

Average speed of Elain = 60 km/h

the electron are accelrated to a speed of 2.40*10^7 in 1.8*10^-9, the force experinced by an electron ?
dalvyx [7]
Force = mass × acceleration

To find acceleration, we can divide the speed by the time it took:

acceleration = 2.40×10^7 / 1.8×10^-9

acceleration = 1.33×10^16

the mass is equal to the mass of an electron

force = (9.11×10^-31)(1.33×10^16)

force = 1.21×10^-14 N

The more twists per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to ____.
Murljashka [212]
The more twist per foot in a pair of wires, the more resistant the pair will be to cross talk. A cross talk in network planning and design is a disturbance produced by electromagnetic interference beside a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal interrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can source the signals to turn out to be confused and cross over each other.
