Chapter 11 #44 and #55

44. (II) P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps in locating the earthquake “epicenter” (where the disturbance took place). (a) Assuming typical speeds of and for P and S waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a particular seismic station detects the arrival of these two types of waves 2.0 min apart? (b) Is one seismic station sufficient to determine the position of the epicenter? Explain.
55. (II) The velocity of waves on a string is If the frequency of standing waves is 475 Hz, how far apart are two adjacent nodes?

and watch the video (a little over 9 minutes) That's the lab you will be doing on Thursday.

Due Friday, February 24, 2012

READ Giancolli Chapter 20-1 to 20 -4 about magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are different from electric fields. I expect you to know equations 20-1 and 20-3, including what each term means; and, you should look at how to figure out the direction of a magnetic force (Right Hand Rules summarized in Table 20-1). Friday's quiz will be basic questions about this reading. You will be allowed to use your notes on this quiz if the notes were personally handwritten by you.
Review Chapter 19

pg 465 and 466

#8 (II) A person scuffing her feet on a wool rug on a dry day accumulates a net charge of -42 micro- coulombs. How many excess electrons does she get, and by how much does her mass increase?
12. (II) Particles of charge +75, +48, and -85 micro- coulombs are placed in a line (Fig. 16–49). The center one is 0.35 m from each of the others. Calculate the net force on each charge due to the other two.
17. (II) Three charged particles are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 1.20 m (Fig. 16–53). The charges are +4.0 micro Coulomb, -8.0 micro Coulomb, and -6.0 micro Coulomb. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force on each due to the other two.
