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.

A car generator turns at 400 rpm (revolutions per minute) when the engine is idling. It has a rectangular coil with 300 turns of dimensions 5.00 cm by 6.46 cm that rotates in an adjustable magnetic field. What is the field strength needed to produce a 24.0 V peak emf

Answers

Answer:

The field strength needed to produce a 24.0 V peak emf is 0.5913 T

Explanation:

From the formula for maximum emf of a generator,

[tex]emf_{max}= NAB\omega[/tex]

∴ [tex]B = \frac{emf_{max} }{NA\omega}[/tex]

Where N is the number of loops

A is cross section of loops

B is magnetic field strength

ω is the angular frequency of loops

From the question, [tex]emf_{max} = 24.0V[/tex]

N = 300 turns

A = l × b ( since it is a rectangular coil)

A = 6.46 cm × 5.00 cm

A = 0.0646 m × 0.05 m

A = 0.00323 m²

ω = 400 rpm = (400/60)×2π rad/s

ω = 41.8879 rad/s

Putting all the parameters into the formula

[tex]B = \frac{emf_{max} }{NA\omega}[/tex]

[tex]B = \frac{24.0}{300\times0.00323\times41.8879}[/tex]

[tex]B = 0.5913T[/tex]

Hence, the field strength needed to produce a 24.0 V peak emf is 0.5913 T

Question 6 (5 points)
Which of the following scenarios describes a condition in which resonance can
occur?
A) Tivo tuning forks are struck simultaneously, one with a frequency of 659Hz
and one with a frequency of 639 Hz, causing beats.
B Two tuning forks that vibrate at the same frequency are near each other. One
tuning fork is struck with a mallet so that it vibrates.
C) A tuning fork is over a column of air that is 9/2 the wavelength of the wave
produced by the tuning fork.
An isolated tuning fork is struck with a mallet, causing it to vibrate strongly at
659 Hz.

Answers

Answer:

B. Two tuning forks that vibrate at the same frequency are near each other. One tuning fork is struck with a mallet so that it vibrates.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Resonance can be defined as a phenomenon in which an object is forced to vibrate as a result of the vibration of a second object at the same natural frequency of the first object. Thus, it's an increase in the amplitude of oscillation that occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is equal to the natural frequency of the system on which it's acting.

Hence, the scenario that best describe a condition in which resonance can occur is two tuning forks that vibrate at the same frequency are near each other. One tuning fork is struck with a mallet so that it vibrates.

Answer:

B Two tuning forks that vibrate at the same frequency are near each other. One

tuning fork is struck with a mallet so that it vibrates.

Answers

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 19506.

Explanation:

Length of solenoid, L = 0.28 m

Magnetic field, B = 7 T

Current, I = 80 A

Let the number of turns is N.

The formula used to find the magnetic field is

[tex]B = \frac{\mu 0N I}{L}\\\\7 = \frac{4 \times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times N\times 80}{0.28}\\\\N = 19506[/tex]

To what height, h, would the pendulum bob rise after a single swing if it was being released from the height of 0.80 m

Answers

Answer:

0.80 m

Explanation:

Neglecting friction, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum is constant.

E = K + U where K = kinetic energy and U = potential energy.

At its release point of 0.80 m, the pendulum bob has a mechanical energy which is equal to its potential energy, since, its initial kinetic energy is zero. By the time the bob swings to the other end, it has a mechanical energy equal to it initial potential energy since total energy is conserved.

Neglecting friction, the pendulum bob would swing back to its original height of 0.80 m since the total mechanical energy is conserved and at its highest point, it is purely potential energy.

So, the height the pendulum bob swings to after release from a height of 0.80 m neglecting fiction is 0.80 m.

A toy car with a mass of 5.5 kg is moving horizontally over flat ground at a speed of 2.1 m/s. An unknown force then directly pushes the car for a distance of 3 meters, after which the car has a speed of 7.3 m/s. You may assume that air resistance and friction are both negligible. What was the magnitude of the unknown force

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the unknown force is 44.8 N.

Explanation:

The force can be found with Newton's second law:                

[tex] F = ma [/tex]

Where:

m: is the mass of the toy car = 5.5 kg

a: is the acceleration

F: is the force =?

We can calculate the acceleration with the following kinematic equation:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{f} [/tex]: is the final speed = 7.3 m/s

[tex] v_{0} [/tex]: is the initial speed = 2.1 m/s

d: is the distance traveled = 3 m

Hence, the acceleration is:

[tex] a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2d} = \frac{(7.3 m/s)^{2} - (2.1 m/s)^{2}}{2*3 m} = 8.15 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Finally, the magnitude of the force is:

[tex]F = ma = 5.5 kg*8.15 m/s^{2} = 44.8 N[/tex]                                  

Therefore, the magnitude of the unknown force is 44.8 N.

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
A. Series
B. Parallel
C. Open
D. Combination

Answers

That's a parallel circuit. (B)

When current from Point-A reaches the 3-way intersection just to the right of Point-B, it has to make a choice:  Either turn left, go through B, and light the lower bulb, or go straight and light the upper bulb.

A circuit that has any "decision" points in it is a parallel circuit.  What happens in the real world is:  The current splits up.  Some of the current that reaches the intersection turns left toward Point-B, and the rest of it goes straight up.

A series circuit is one in which there's only one possible path all the way around.  There are no intersections of more than 2 roads, and no electron ever has to decide which way to flow.

An open circuit is one in which there's a break somewhere along the line and electrons can't jump across it.  It's like a railroad where a big piece is cut out of the track somewhere.  So no trains can travel on that route, and there's no current flowing anywhere in the circuit.

I'm not so sure about a "combination" circuit.  I guess you could give that name to a complicated circuit that has some series parts and some parallel-parts.  Personally, I'd call that a "series-parallel" circuit.  But it really doesn't matter right now.  Whatever the word means, the circuit in the picture is definitely not a "combination" circuit.

Answer:

B. Parallel Circuits

Explanation:

A parallel circuit is constructed by connecting the terminals of all the individual load devices so that the same value of voltage appears across each component. In a parallel circuit, charge divides up into separate branches such that there can be more current in one branch than there is in another.

The heat required to raise 3 kg of copper from 0°C to 10°C raises 1kg of lead from 10°C to 100°C. If the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.095 cal/g°C,find the specific heat capacity of lead.​

Answers

The specific heat capacity of lead has been determined to be 0.032 cal/g°C.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of its unit mass by 1 Kelvin rise in temperature.  There is no phase change during the process. This can be expressed as:

Q = mcT

c = [tex]\frac{Q}{mT}[/tex]

Where c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, Q is the quantity of heat required, m is the mass of the substance and T is its change in temperature.

In the given question, the heat emitted by the copper mass would be absorbed by the lead mass.

So that;

heat emitted by copper = heat absorbed by lead

[tex]m_{c}[/tex] [tex]c_{c}[/tex]([tex]T_{2}[/tex] - [tex]T_{1}[/tex]) = [tex]m_{l}[/tex][tex]c_{l}[/tex]([tex]T_{2}[/tex] - [tex]T_{1}[/tex])

With the given information in the question, the above equation is expressed as:

3 * 0.095 * (10 - 0) = 1 * [tex]c_{l}[/tex]* (100 - 10)

3*0.095*10 = [tex]c_{l}[/tex] * 90

2.85 = [tex]c_{l}[/tex]*90

[tex]c_{l}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2.85}{90}[/tex]

  = 0.031667

[tex]c_{l}[/tex] = 0.032 cal/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of lead is 0.032 cal/g°C.
