Answer:

"An earthquake radiates P and S waves in all directions and the interaction of the P and S waves with Earth's surface and shallow structure produces surface waves. Near an earthquake the shaking is large and dominated by shear-waves and short-period surface waves."  please rephrase this in your own words.

Explanation:

How quickly a leaf grows is proportional how big [ie the surface area] the leaf is. If the area of the leaf grows from 2cm2 to 3
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 9 days

Explanation:

  • Step 1

Let the rate of Leaf growth <em>r</em> be defined as, \frac{Increase  in  area}{time taken} = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

where <em>A</em> is initial area of the leaf, <em>A1</em> is the final area of the leaf and<em> t</em> is the time taken for the increase in Area.

  • Express the proportional relationship in equation.

Given that rate of leaf growth, r is proportional to the surface area of the leaf A. we have r ∝ A.

r = kA, where k is the rate constant.

therefore, k = \frac{r}{A}

when A = 2cm^{2}, A1 = 3

so k = \frac{\frac{3 - 2}{3}}{2}

= \frac{1}{3} ÷ 2

= 0.33 ÷ 2

k = 0.167

  • After calculating the rate constant k, we then find the time t when A1 is 5cm^{2}
  • we have r = k × A1 = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

so, 0.167 × 2 = \frac{5 - 2}{t}

0.33 = \frac{3}{t}.

t = 3/0.33

Therefore, t = 9 days.

A bike with 15cm diameter wheels accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.1m/s over a distance of 35.4m. Determine the an
Finger [1]

Answer:

9.47 rad/s^2

Explanation:

Diameter = 15 cm, radius, r = diameter / 2 = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m, u = 0, v = 7.1 m/s,

s = 35.4 m

let a be the linear acceleration.

Use III equation of motion.

v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s

7.1 x 7.1 = 0 + 2 x a x 35.4

a = 0.71 m/s^2

Now the relation between linear acceleration and angular acceleration is

a = r x α

where,  α is angular acceleration

α = 0.71 / 0.075 = 9.47 rad/s^2

a 75-kg refrigerator is located on the 70th floor of a skyscraper (300 meters above ground). what is the potential energy of the
mart [117]
Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground.
We know, U = mgh
Here, m = 75 Kg
g = 9.8 m/s²       [ constant value for earth system ]
h = 300 m

Substitute their values into the expression:
U = 75 × 9.8  × 300
U = 220500 J

In short, Your Final Answer would be 220,500 J 

Hope this helps!

A box sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface runs into a fixed spring, compressing it a distance x1 from its relaxed posit
inn [45]

Answer:twice of initial value

Explanation:

Given

spring compresses x_1 distance for some initial speed

Suppose v is the initial speed and k be the spring constant

Applying conservation of energy

kinetic energy converted into spring Elastic potential energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_1^2----1

When speed doubles

\dfrac{1}{2}m(2v)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx_2^2----2

divide 1 and 2

\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}

x_2=2x_1

Therefore spring compresses twice the initial value
