Chapter 16, Problem 51EAP

Earthquakes are essentially sound waves—called seismic waves—traveling through the earth. Because the earth is solid, it can support both longitudinal and transverse seismic waves. The speed of longitudinal waves, called P waves, is 8000

m / s . Transverse waves, called S waves, travel at a slower 4500 m / s . A seismograph records the two waves from a distant earthquake. If the S wave arrives 2.0 m m after the P wave, how far away was the earthquake? You can assume that the waves travel in straight lines, although actual seismic waves follow more complex routes.

••63 SSM www In the circuit of Fig. 27-65, 8 = 1.2 kV, C = 6.5 µF, R₁ S R₂ R3 800 C H R₁ = R₂ = R3 = 0.73 MQ. With C completely uncharged, switch S is suddenly closed (at t = 0). At t = 0, what are (a) current i̟ in resistor 1, (b) current 2 in resistor 2, and (c) current i3 in resistor 3? At t = ∞o (that is, after many time constants), what are (d) i₁, (e) i₂, and (f) iz? What is the potential difference V2 across resistor 2 at (g) t = 0 and (h) t = ∞o? (i) Sketch V2 versus t between these two extreme times. Figure 27-65 Problem 63.
Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. Thor's escape velocity is 33532.9 rad/s, the angular velocity is 8055.5 rad/s^2. While the hammer is spinning at its maximum speed what impossibly large tension does the leather strap, which the hammer is spinning by, exert when the hammer is at its lowest point? the hammer has a total mass of 20.0kg.
