How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?

Physics
1 answer:
aleksklad [387]2 years ago
5 0

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.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?
saul85 [17]
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.

A sports car accelerates from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s. How long would it take to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph, assuming the power of
Crank

Answer:

6 s

Explanation:

given,

Sports car accelerate from 0 to 30 mph in 1.5 s

time taken to accelerate  0 to 60 mph = ?

The power of the engine is independent of velocity and neglecting friction

power =

P = constant  

the kinetic energy for 60 mph larger than this of 30 mph

 = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2}{\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2}

 = \dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}

 = \dfrac{60^2}{30^2}

 = 4

gain in kinetic energy  = P x t

time = 4 x 1.5

       = 6 s

Planetary orbits... are spaced more closely together as they get further from the Sun. are evenly spaced throughout the solar sy
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.

Explanation:

Kepler's laws establish that:

All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).

A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).

The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).

T^{2} = a^{3}

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.

However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)

In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).

Therefore, option A and B can not be true.

In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.

1. What is the momentum of a golf ball with a mass of 62 g moving at 73 m/s?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>momentum = mass × velocity</h3>

From the question

mass = 62 g = 0.062 kg

velocity = 73 m/s

We have

momentum = 0.062 × 73 = 4.526

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.53 kgm/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
