Why is a minimum of three seismic stations needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake?

vazorg [7]

Each station can detect how far away the epicenter was. So each station basically has a circle made of possible epicenters. When you have three, you narrow it down to one, final point.

A diver springs upward from a board that is 2.70 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 10.9 m/s

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

vo=5.87m/s

Explanation:

Hello! In this problem we have a uniformly varied rectilinear movement.

Taking into account the data:

α =69.2

vf = 10m / s

h=2.7m

g=9.8m/s2

We know we want to know the speed on the y axis.

We calculate vfy

vfy = 10m / s * (sen69.2) = 9.35m / s

We can use the following equation.

$vf^{2} =vo^{2}+2*g*h\\$

We clear the vo (initial speed)

$vo=\sqrt{vf^{2}-2*g*h }$

$v0=\sqrt{(9.35m/s)^{2}-2*9.8m/s^{2} *2.7m}$

vo=5.87m/s

A 5-kg ball collides inelastically head-on with a 10-kg ball, which is initially stationary. Which of the following statements i

NARA [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball.

Explanation:

In inelastic collision, the total momentum is always conserved after collision but the kinetic energy is reduced.

Momentum is Mass X velocity.

5 kg ball is in motion, while 10 kg ball is stationary; that is zero velocity.

The momentum of 10 kg ball before collision is zero while the momentum of 5 kg ball before collision is more than zero. Therefore, the magnitude of change in momentum will not be equal.

Next possible options are in kinetic Energy

Initial Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

Final kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Change in kinetic energy = Final Kinetic Energy - Initial Kinetic Energy

Change in kinetic energy of 5kg ball = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2$

Since the 5-kg ball has initial velocity (u), the magnitude of the change in velocity will be reduced.

Change in kinetic energy of 10kg ball:

the ball is initially at rest, therefore the initial velocity (u) will be zero (0)

Δ K.E = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-u)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v-0)^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

From the solution above, the magnitude of the change in velocity experienced by 10 kg ball is higher than 5 kg ball.

Hence, The magnitude of the change of velocity the 5-kg ball experiences is less than that of the 10-kg ball

A man hits a golf ball (0.2 kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s2. What amount of force acted on the ball?

Delvig [45]

Newton taught us that Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (0.2) x (20) = <em>4 newtons</em> .

Something to think about: The ball can only accelerate while the club-face
is in contact with it. Once the ball leaves the club, it can't accelerate any more,
because the force against it is gone.
