How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?

Physics
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]2 years ago

Answer: Seismograph is an instrument that is used to measure the vibration of the earthquake. It is based on seismic waves. X ray is an electromagnetic energy wave that is used for CAT ( computerized axial tomography) scan.

Hence, both seismic wave and X ray are energy waves.

The velocity of seismic waves is different in different media. Similarly, X ray loses its amplitude depending upon the dense layer of the tissue.

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Horizontal component: F_x = 58\ N

Vertical component: F_y = 33.5\ N

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

F_x = F * cos(angle)

F_x = 67 * cos(30)

F_x = 58\ N

For the vertical component, we have:

F_y = F * sin(angle)

F_y = 67 * sin(30)

F_y = 33.5\ N

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.
