The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.

<h3>Epicenter of earthquake</h3>

The earthquake's epicenter is the point above the fault location on the earth's surface.

Given that:

A p-wave arrives at 3:00:00 and the s-wave arrives at 3:07:20.

Difference in arrival time = 3:07:20 - 3:00:00 = 7 minutes 20 seconds

From the earthquake time travel graph, a time difference of 7 min 20 sec is at x = 6

The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

F=mg

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{rg}

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}

v=49.49\ m/s

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

How many joules of kinetic energy does a pendulum have when it has 100 joules of potential energy
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy is 100 j.    

Explanation:

<h3>The kinetic energy = (potential energy) + (kinetic energy) and the potential energy of 0 J implying its kinetic energy is 100 J, which is its maximum. </h3>

To lower the voltage from a "120 V" outlet, what is used (first, at least) in most situations
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

B. Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.

The roller coaster is designed according to safety regulations that prohibit the speed of the car from exceeding 20 m/s. find th
hram777 [196]

maximum allowed value of the speed in roller coaster is given as

v = 20 m/s

now from kinematics we can say

v^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s

here initial speed will be

v_i = 0

acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we can use this to find the height

20^2 - 0^2 = 2 * 9.8* h

400 = 19.6 *h

h = 20.4 m

so maximum allowed height will be 20.4 m
