What is the difference between these two kinds of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves?

Physics

<span>A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface.

 P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways</span>

point A is at the bottom of a rough plane which is inclined at angle tita to the horizontal . A body of mass M is projected from
ziro4ka [17]

<h2>The work done , when body moves along the plane </h2>

Explanation:

A body is projected from bottom of the inclined plane . When body is going up the plane .

The downward force = m g sinθ is developed due to its weight

As body is moving upwards , the force of friction will act downwards

The force of friction = μ R

here μ is the coefficient of friction ans R is the normal reaction

Thus force of friction f = μ mg cosθ

Let the acceleration upwards is a

The upward force required = m a

Thus m a = mg sinθ + μ mg cosθ

or acceleration a = g ( sinθ + μ cosθ )

The work done in moving upwards  W = F S

Thus W =  mg ( sinθ + μ cosθ ) S

here S is the displacement on the plane

When body moves down , the force of friction acts upwards

Thus m a = m g ( sinθ - μ cosθ )

The work done W = m g ( sinθ - μ cosθ ) S

As the body is projected with velocity u

which can be calculated by the relation v² - u² = - 2 a X

Here v = 0 at the highest point

Thus u = \sqrt{2ax}

here a = g ( sinθ + μ cosθ )

Similarly , when it moves down , the initial velocity u = 0

Thus v² - 0 = 2 a x

or  v = \sqrt{2ax}

here a = g ( sinθ - μ cosθ )

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle  = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical  energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

              Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

   substitute the parameters in the equation;

                       600  = \frac{1}{2} x m x 15²

                     225m  = 1200

                            m  = \frac{1200}{225}    = 5.33kg

The wavelength you entered in the last problem is related to the energy required to eject an electron from sodium metal, the so-
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

2.30 eV

Explanation:

Some details of the problem are missing:

"Light of wavelength 540 nm is required to extract electrons from sodium. What is the work function of sodium?"

The equation that describes the photoelectric effect is

\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\phi +K

where:

\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incoming photon, with

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is Planck constant

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\Phi is the work function of the material

K is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

The minimum energy needed by the photons to extract the photoelectrons is that for which the kinetic energy is zero, so

K = 0

Therefore we have

\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\phi

In this problem, we know that the wavelength of the incoming light is

\lambda=540 nm = 540\cdot 10^{-9}m

Therefore, we can find the work function of sodium:

\phi=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{540\cdot 10^{-9}}=3.68\cdot 10^{-19}J

And converting into electronvolts,

\phi=\frac{3.68\cdot 10^{-19}J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.30 eV
