If the wave is detected 12.5 minutes after the earthquake, estimate the distance from the detector to the site of the quake​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Remember the relation:

Speed*Time = Distance.

We can estimate that the speed at which an earthquake "moves", in the surface, is:

S = 6km/s  (this is a low estimation actually)

Then if the wave is detected 12.5 minutes after the earthquake, we know that it traveled for 12.5 minutes before reaching the detector.

So we know the speed of the wave and the time it took to reach the detector, then we can use the equation:

Speed*Time = Distance.

to find the distance.

First, we should write the time in seconds

we know that:

1 min = 60 s

then:

12.5 min = 12.5*(60 s) = 750 s

Then, the wave traveled with a speed of 6 km/s for 750 seconds until it reached the detector, then the distance that it traveled is:

(6km/s)*750s = 4500 km

The distance between the detector and the site of the quake is around 4500 km.

57. A red ball (m= 10 kg) is moving at 3 m/s. A green ball (m = 8 kg) is moving at 3.5 m/s. Which ball has more
energy and by how much (2)

Answers

Answer:

the green ball has 4J more energy

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is given by the formula

K = 0.5 m v^2

the kinetic energy of the red ball:

K(red) = 0.5*10*3^2= 45J

of the green ball:

K(green)=0.5*8*3.5^2 = 49J

therefore the green ball has more energy by 4 Joules

2 What are(i) free fall , (ii) acceleration due to gravity, (iii) escape velocity , (iv) centripetal force?​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Free fall implies an object falling under the gravitational influence only. During the flight, no other force acts on it except the gravitational pull.

2. Acceleration due to gravity is the earth's natural force of pull on all objects on its surface, close to its surface, or in the region where the force can be felt. This force pulls object to the surface of the earth.

3. Escape velocity is the required minimum velocity for an object to leave the gravitational influence of the earth. It has a constant value which can be determined by;

Escape velocity = [tex]\sqrt{2gR}[/tex]

where g is the gravitation force of the earth and R is the radius of the earth.

4. Centripetal force is the force of pull that is required to keep a rotation object in its curved path.

49. A block is pushed across a horizontal surface with a
coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15 by applying a
150 N horizontal force.
(a) The block accelerates at the rate of 2.53 m/s2
Find the mass of the block.

(b) The block slides across a new surface while
experiencing the same applied force as before.
The block now moves with a constant speed.
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the block and the new surface?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 37.5 kg

(b) 4

Explanation:

Force, F = 150 N

kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15

(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2

According to the newton's second law

Net force = mass x acceleration

F - friction force = m a

150 - 0.15 x m g = m a

150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)

m = 37.5 kg

(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.

[tex]F = \mu m g \\\\150 = \mu\times 37.5\\\\\mu = 4[/tex]

The gravitational force acting on various masses is measured on different planets. Measured values for the forces acting on the corresponding masses are shown in the data table. Analyze the data and develop a method for comparing the gravitational field strengths on the different planets. Use your method to compare the gravitational field strengths, and report your conclusions.

Answers

we Know that gravitational field strength(g) at a point on a planet is equal to gravitational force exerted per unit mass placed at that point.
It Means,
g=F/m
Here,
g=gravitational field strength
F=Gravitational force
m=Mass
Case A
planet force =10 and mass= .5
g1=F/m
g1=10/.5
=100/5
g1=20m/s
case B
F=30 and m=2
therefore g2=30/2
g2=15m/s^2
case C
F=45 and m=3
g3=45/3
=15m/s^2
case D
g4=60/6
g4=10m/s^2
from above results it is clear that the gravitational field strength of planet D is minimum which is 10m/s^2 and gravitational field strength of planet A is maximum which is 20m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

a) i) x = 0.25 m, ii) x = 0.10 m, iii)  x = 0.050 m

b) i)  x = 0.40 m

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we use the rotational equilibrium equation, where we assume that the anticlockwise rotations are positive.

1) L = 2W  

we set our reference system in the center of the bar where the fulcrum is

              ∑τ = 0

              W 0.50 - L x = 0

              x = 0.50 W / L

we substitute the value

              x = 0.50 W / 2W

              x = 0.25 m

ii) L = 5W

we calculate

              x = 0.50 W / 5W

              x = 0.10 m

iii) L = 10 W

               x = 0.50 W / 10W

              x = 0.050 m

b) a new weight is placed at x₂ = 30 cm on the left side

              W 0.50 + W 0.30 - L x = 0

              x = (0.50 + 0.30) W / L

              x = 0.80 W / L

we calculate

i)  L = 2W

                x = 0.80 w / 2w

                x = 0.40 m

The summer camps had a field trip from the campus to Fragrance Hill. They traveled at an average speed of 65 km/h in the first 2 hours. After that, traveled at another average speed of 78 km/h. If the distance between the campus and Fragrance Hill is 364 km, what was the total time for the field trip?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

They traveled this distance in 2 parts, essentially. Part 1 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, part 2 had an average speed for a certain number of hours, and those 2 parts taken together took them a distance of 364 km. In equation form, that looks like this:

km/hr part 1 + km/hr part 2 = 364 km

Now we need to find each part on the left side of that equation. Part 1 first:

We traveled 65 km/hr for 2 hours, so that took us

[tex]65\frac{km}{hr}*2hr[/tex] and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 1 we got

65(2) = 130 km. Good. Now onto the second part, where our unknown is.

We traveled 78 km/hr the second part for x hours, so that took us

[tex]78\frac{km}{hr}*xhr[/tex] and canceling out the hour label, we have that in part 2 we got

78x km. Now we can fill in the main equation (the one in bold print)

130 km + 78x km = 364 km and subtracting 130 km from both sides:

78x km = 234 km and dividing by 78 km:

x = 3 hours. Part 2 took 3 hours. Part 1 took 2 hours, so the whole trip took 5 hours.

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{m}{s^2} =a[/tex]

Explanation:

Use the kinematic equation.

[tex]v_{2} =v_{1} +at[/tex]

This equation can be derived from [tex]f=ma[/tex], but we can just memorize, or look them up when needed as it saves us time.

Now we can plug our measurements into each variable to solve for acceleration.

[tex]18\frac{m}{s} =8\frac{m}{s} +a*5s[/tex]

Subtract 8m/s from both sides.

[tex]10\frac{m}{s} =a*5s[/tex]

Divide by 5 seconds. Left with acceleration in terms of [tex]\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{m}{s^2} =a[/tex]

A basketball is shot by a player at a height of 2.0m. The initial angle was 53° above the horizontal. At the highest point, the ball was travelling 6 m/s. If he scored (the ball went through the rim that is 3.00m above the ground), what was the player's horizontal distance from the basket?

Answers

At the ball's highest point, it has no vertical velocity, so the 6 m/s is purely horizontal. A projectile's horizontal velocity does not change, which means the ball was initially thrown with speed v such that

v cos(53°) = 6 m/s   ==>   v = (6 m/s) sec(53°) ≈ 9.97 m/s

The player shoots the ball from a height of 2.0 m, so that the ball's horizontal and vertical positions, respectively x and y, at time t are

x = (9.97 m/s) cos(53°) t = (6 m/s) t

y = 2.0 m + (9.97 m/s) sin(53°) t - 1/2 gt ²

Find the times t for which the ball reaches a height of 3.00 m:

3.00 m = 2.0 m + (9.97 m/s) sin(53°) t - 1/2 gt ²

==>   t ≈ 0.137 s   or   t ≈ 1.49 s

The second time is the one we care about, because it's the one for which the ball would be falling into the basket.

Now find the distance x traveled by the ball after this time:

x = (6 m/s) (1.49 s) ≈ 8.93 m

Answers

[tex]\large{\underbrace{\underline{\fcolorbox{White}{pink}{\bf{ANSWER♥︎}}}}}[/tex]kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

given that : v = speed of the bottle in each case = 4 m/s when m = 0.125 kg

KE = (0.5) m v² = (0.5) (0.125) (4)² = 1 J

when m = 0.250 kg KE = (0.5) m v² = (0.5) (0.250) (4)² = 2 J

when m = 0.375 kg KE = (0.5) m v² = (0.5) (0.375) (4)² = 3 J

when m = 0.0.500 kg KE = (0.5) m v² = (0.5) (0.500) (4)² = 4 J
