How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?

1 answer:

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 long-distance swimmer is able to swim through still water at 4.0 km/h. She wishes to try to swim from Port Angeles, Washington

Roman55 [17]

Let $\theta$ be the direction the swimmer must swim relative to east. Then her velocity relative to the water is

$\vec v_{S/W}=\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)$

The current has velocity vector (relative to the Earth)

$\vec v_{W/E}=\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath$

The swimmer's resultant velocity (her velocity relative to the Earth) is then

$\vec v_{S/E}=\vec v_{S/W}+\vec v_{W/E}$

$\vec v_{S/E}=\left(\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath$

We want the resultant vector to be pointing straight north, which means its horizontal component must be 0:

$\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}=0\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac{3.0}{4.0}\implies\theta\approx138.59^\circ$

which is approximately 41º west of north.

Does a fish appear closer or farther from a person wearing swim goggles with an air pocket in front of their eyes than the fish

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

Explanation:

This exercise can be analyzed with the law of refraction that establishes that a ray of light when passing from one medium to another with a different index makes it deviate from its path,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of the incident and refracted means and the angles are also for these two means.

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

1 sin θ₁ = 1.33 sin θ₂

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ ( 1/1.33 sin θ₁)

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

If a force of 65 N is exerted on a 45 kg sofa and the sofa is moved 6.0 meters, how much work is done in moving the sofa? 17,550

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: W = 390 J

Explanation:

Work is the transfer of energy when a body is moved from one place to another.

Data

Force = 65 N

mass = 45 kg

distance = 6 meters

work = ? J

Formula

W = F x d

Process

W = 65 N x 6 m

W = 390 J

Which one of the following represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom? (arranged as n, l, m l ,

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The correct option that represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom is;

(b) 4, 3, -3, 1/2.

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the available options where the set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom are arranged as n, l, m l , and ms are;

4, 4, 4, 1/2

4, 3, -3, 1/2

4, 3, 0, 0

4, 5, 7, -1/2

4, 4, -5, 1/2

Let us label them as a to as follows

(a) 4, 4, 4, 1/2

(b) 4, 3, -3, 1/2

(d) 4, 5, 7, -1/2

(e) 4, 4, -5, 1/2

Next we note the rules for the assignment and arrangement of quantum numbers are as follows

Number Symbol Possible values

Principal Quantum Number .......n........................1, 2, 3, ......n

Angular momentum quantum

number...............................................l.........................0, 1, 2, .......(n - 1)

Magnetic Quantum Number........m₁......................-l, ..., -1, 0, 1,.....,l

Spin Quantum Number.................m $_s$ .....................+1/2, -1/2

We are meant to analyze each of the arrangement for acceptability.

Therefore for (a),

we note that the angular momentum quantum number, l =4 , is equal to the principal quantum number n =4 which violates the rule as the maximum value of the angular momentum quantum number is (n-1) where the maximum value of the principal quantum number is n.

Therefore (a) is not acceptable.

(b) Here we note that

The principal quantum number n = 4 ∈ (1, 2, 3, ......n) → acceptable

The angular momentum quantum number l = 3 ∈ (0, 1, 2, .......(n - 1)) → acceptable

The magnetic quantum number m₁ = -3 ∈ (-l, ..., -1, 0, 1,.....,l) → acceptable

The spin quantum number m $_s$ = 1/2 ∈ (+1/2, -1/2) → acceptable

Therefore (b) 4, 3, -3, 1/2 represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom.

The principal quantum number n = 4 ∈ (1, 2, 3, ......n) → acceptable

The angular momentum quantum number l = 3 ∈ (0, 1, 2, .......(n - 1)) → acceptable

The magnetic quantum number m₁ = 0 ∈ (-l, ..., -1, 0, 1,.....,l) → acceptable

The spin quantum number m $_s$ = 0 ∉ (+1/2, -1/2) → not acceptable

Therefore (c) 4, 3, 0, 0 does not represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom.

(d) Here we have;

The principal quantum number n = 4 ∈ (1, 2, 3, ......n) → acceptable

The angular momentum quantum number l = 5 ∉ (0, 1, 2, .......(n - 1)) → not acceptable

The magnetic quantum number m₁ = 7 ∉ (-l, ..., -1, 0, 1,.....,l) → acceptable

The spin quantum number m $_s$ = -1/2 ∈ (+1/2, -1/2) → acceptable

Therefore (d) 4, 5, 7, -1/2 does not represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom.

(e) Here we have;

The principal quantum number n = 4 ∈ (1, 2, 3, ......n) → acceptable

The angular momentum quantum number l = 4 ∉ (0, 1, 2, .......(n - 1)) → not acceptable

The magnetic quantum number m₁ = -5 ∉ (-l, ..., -1, 0, 1,.....,l) → acceptable

The spin quantum number m $_s$ = 1/2 ∈ (+1/2, -1/2) → acceptable

Therefore (e) 4, 4, -5, 1/2 does not represents an acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom.

A block spring system oscillates on a frictionless surface with an amplitude of 10\text{ cm}10 cm and has an energy of 2.5 \text

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The energy of the system is 15 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E = 2.5 J

Amplitude = 10 cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of mechanical energy of the system

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2$

Put the value into the formula

$2.5=\dfrac{1}{2}k\times(10\times10^{-2})^2$

$k=\dfrac{2.5\times2}{(10\times10^{-2})^2}$

$k=500\ N/m$

If the block is replaced by a block with twice the mass of the original block

Amplitude = 6 cm

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of mechanical energy

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times500\times(6\times10^{-2})$

$E=15\ J$

Hence, The energy of the system is 15 J.
