How does energy from an earthquake reach each surface? Describe the three types of seismic waves.

Answers

Answer 1
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.

A 0.2 kg hockey puck is sliding along the ice with an initial velocity of -10 m/s when a player strikes with his stick, causing it to reverse it's direction and giving it a velocity of +25 m/s. The impulse the stick applies to the puck is most nearly

Answers

I = 7 N-s

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as

I = ∆p = m(vf - vi)

We are given

m = 0.2 kg

vi = -10 m/s (to the left)

vf = +25 m/s (to the right)

Therefore, the impulse imparted on the puck is

I = (0.2 kg)[25 m/s - (-10 m/s)]

= (0.2 kg)(35 m/s)

= 7 N-s

A 8.25-N force is applied to a 2.50 kg object to accelerate it rightwards. The object
encounters 2.19 N of friction. Determine the acceleration of the object. (Neglect air
resistance.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Use F - f = ma since we are on a flat surface. We are given the applied Force as 8.25, the frictional force as 2.19, and a mass of 2.50. Filling in:

8.25 - 2.19 = 2.50a. Doing the subtraction on the left gives us:

6.06 = 2.50a and we divide to 3 sig figs to get

a = 2.42 m/s/s

Monochromatic light falling on two very narrow slits 0.048mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 5.00m away are 6.5cm apart near the center of the pattern.What is the wavelength and frequency of the light?

Answers

Answer:

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

We will use Young's Double Slit Experiment's Formula here:

[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{Yd}{L}[/tex]

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Y = Fringe Spacing = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

d = slit separation = 0.048 mm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁵ m

L = screen distance = 5 m

Therefore,

[tex]\lambda = \frac{(0.065\ m)(4.8\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m)}{5\ m}[/tex]

λ = 5.85 x 10⁻⁷ m = 585 nm

Now, the frequency can be given as:

[tex]f = \frac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]

where,

f = frequency = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

[tex]f = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{5.85\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\\\[/tex]

f = 5.13 x 10¹⁴ Hz

If there are 1,600 meters in a mile, find the speed of sound in this experiment in units of "miles / hour"

Answers

v = 771.75 mile / h

Explanation:

The speed of sound is v = 343 m / s  at T= 20C

the transformation ratios are

     1 mile = 1600 m

     1 h = 3600 s

Let's reduce

    v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1600 m) (3600 s / 1 h)

An 85.0-N crate of apples sits at rest on a ramp that runs from the ground to the bed of a truck. The ramp is inclined at 28.0° to the ground. A) The interaction partner of this normal force has what magnitude and direction? B) The normal and frictional forces are perpendicular components of the contact force exerted on the crate by the ramp. What is the magnitude and direction of the contact force?

Answers

Answer:

A  75.1 N and a direction of 152° to the vertical.

B 85.0 N at 0° to the vertical.

Explanation:

A) The interaction partner of this normal force has what magnitude and direction?

The interaction partner of this normal force is the component of the weight of the crate perpendicular to the ramp. It has a magnitude of 85cos28° = 75.1 N and a direction of 180° - 28° = 152° to the vertical(since it is directed downwards perpendicular to the ramp).

B) The normal and frictional forces are perpendicular components of the contact force exerted on the crate by the ramp. What is the magnitude and direction of the contact force?

Since this force has to balance the weight of the crate, its magnitude is 85.0 N. Its direction has to be vertically opposite to that of the weight.

Since the weight is 180° to the vertical (since it is directed downwards), this force is 0° to the vertical.

So, this force has a magnitude of 85.0 N and a direction of 0° to the vertical.

A children's roller coaster is released from the top of a track. If its maximum speed at ground level is 3 m/s, find the height it was released from.

Homer Agin leads the Varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, Homer hit a 34.5 m/s sinking curve ball head on, sending it off his bat in the exact opposite direction at 23.9 m/s. The actually contact between ball and bat lasted for 0.00075 seconds. Determine the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during the contact with the bat in m/s/s. Do not include units or /- sign. Round your answer to a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

–77867 m/s/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Acceleration = (final velocity – Initial velocity) /time

a = (v – u) / t

With the above formula, we can obtain acceleration of the ball as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 34.5 m/s

Final velocity (v) = –23.9 m/s

Time (t) = 0.00075 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (–23.9 – 34.5) / 0.00075

a = –58.4 / 0.00075

a = –77867 m/s/s

Thus, the acceleration of the ball is –77867 m/s/s.

Explain why a kangaroo can jump higher as it's speed increases

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of the Kangaroo to jump higher is due to the stretching of its tendons as its speed increases.

As the tendons are being stretched more and more, the elastic potential energy increases with each increasing stretch.

This elastic potential energy is translated into gravitational potential energy hence the Kangaroo jumps higher as it's speed increases.

The kangaroo can  jump higher as it's speed increases due to the ability of its tendons to stretch more and more.

The jumping of kangaroo can be related with the concept of spring force and spring potential energy. The spring force is given as,

F = kx

And spring elastic potential energy is,

[tex]U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}[/tex]

In both the cases, k is the spring constant and x is the stretching distance.

When kangaroo try to jump, the tendons provide extra flexibility to jump higher due to the more stretching. Here, the value of x increases. As value of x increases, ultimately more acceleration is provided to increase its speed.

As the tendons are being stretched more and more, the elastic potential energy increases with each increasing stretch.

This elastic potential energy is translated into gravitational potential energy hence the Kangaroo jumps higher as it's speed increases.

Thus, we can conclude that the kangaroo can  jump higher as it's speed increases due to the ability of its tendons to stretch more and more, such that more energy conversion of energy takes place.

Calculate the time it takes for the cart to travel 200 meters.

Answers

Answer:

t = 8.94 s

Explanation:

where,

s = distance = 200 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

the object as it falls?
A. 60. J
B. 590 J
C. 720 J
D. 1200 J

Answers

Given :

A 10.-kilogram object falls freely for a distance of 6.0 meters near Earth's

surface.

To Find :

The total kinetic energy gained by  the object as it falls.

Solution :

Since, only conservative force i.e gravity is applied on the object.

So, its total energy is constant.

Total kinetic energy gained = Total potential energy gained

K.E = mgh ( Here, g is acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8 m/s² )

K.E = 10 × 9.8 × 6 J

K.E = 588 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the product of its mass and the square of the velocity of the object.

The kinetic energy of the object is 588 J. Option B shows the kinetic energy of the object.

What is kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy that it possesses due to the motion of the object.

Given that the mass m of the object is 10 kg and it falls from the height h of 6 meters near the earth's surface. The object falls vertically, so the gravitational acceleration is applied to it.

The potential energy of the object is given below.

[tex]PE = mgh[/tex]

[tex]PE = 10 \times 9.8 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]PE = 588 \;\rm J[/tex]

The total force applied to the object is due to gravity only. Hence the total energy of the object will be constant. Thus the kinetic energy of the object will be equivalent to the potential energy of the object.

Hence we can conclude that the kinetic energy of the object is 588 J. Option B shows the kinetic energy of the object.
