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.

A person is nearsighted with a far point of 75.0 cm. a. What focal length contact lens is needed to give him normal vision

Complete Question

The  complete question is  shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

  f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

b

  P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  image distance is  d_i =  -75 cm

The value of the image is negative because it is on the same side with the corrective glasses

    The  object distance is  d_o =  \infty

The  reason object distance  is because the object father than it being picture by the eye

General focal length is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{d_i}  -   \frac{1}{d_o}

substituting values

             \frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{-75}  -   \frac{1}{\infty}

=>         f=  -75 \ cm =  - 0.75 \ m

Generally the power of the corrective lens is  mathematically represented as

        P  =  \frac{1}{f}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{1}{-0.75}

        P  =  -1.33 \ diopters

A gas is compressed from 600 cm3 to 200cm3 at a constant pressure of 400 kpa. at the same time, 100 j of heat energy is transfer
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The initial volume of the gas is
V_i = 600 cm^3
while its final volume is
V_f = 200 cm^3
so its variation of volume is
\Delta V = V_f - V-i = 200 cm^3 - 600 cm^3 = -400 cm^3 = -400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3

The pressure is constant, and it is
p=400 kPa = 400 \cdot 10^3 Pa

Therefore the work done by the gas is
W=p\Delta V = (400 \cdot 10^3 Pa)(-400 \cdot 10^{-6} m^3)=-160 J
where the negative sign means the work is done by the surrounding on the gas.

The heat energy given to the gas is
Q=+100 J

And the change in internal energy of the gas can be found by using the first law of thermodynamics:
\Delta U = Q-W = 100 J - (-160 J)=+260 J
where the positive sign means the internal energy of the gas has increased.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>

A 250 Hz tuning fork is struck and the intensity at the source is I1 at a distance of one meter from the source. (a) What is the
Zina [86]

Answer:

a) 0.0625 I_1

b) 3.16 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles  </u>

The intensity at a distance r from a point source that emits waves of power P is given as:  

I=P/4π*r^2                         (1)

<u>Given Data</u>

f (frequency of the tuning fork) = 250 Hz

I_1 is the intensity at the source a distance r_1 = I m from the source.  

<u>Required Data</u>

- In part (a), we are asked to determine the intensity I_2 a distance r_2 = 4 in from the source.

- In part (b), we are asked to determine the distance from the tuning fork at which the intensity is a tenth of the intensity at the source.  

<u>solution:</u>

(a)  

According to Equation (1), the intensity a distance r is inversely proportional to the distance from the source squared:

I∝1/r^2

Set the proportionality:  

I_1/I_2=(r_2/r_1)^2                                 (2)

Solve for I_2 :  

I_2=I_1(r_2/r_1)^2  

I_2=0.0625 I_1

(b)  

Solve Equation (2) for r_2:  

r_2=(√I_1/I_2)*r_1

where I_2 = (1/10)*I_1:

r_2=(√I_1/1/10*I_1)*r_1

     =3.16 m
