The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the earthquakes origin. A seismograph can be used to determine the distance to the epicenter of an earthquake. Seismographs are needed in three different places to locate an earthquake's epicenter. Find the location of the earthquake's epicenter if it is 3 miles away from A(2,3), 4 miles away from B(-5,3), and 5 miles away from C(-1,-2).

A muon is created 50 km above the surface of the earth. In the earth's frame, the muon is traveling directly downward at 0.9999c. Part A In the earth's frame of reference, how much time elapses between the muon's creation and the time it reaches the surface? Part B Use time dilation to determine, in the muon's frame, how much time elapses between the muon's creation and the time it reaches the surface. Part C In the muon's frame of...

A point charge +q is at the origin. A spherical Gaussian surface centered at the origin encloses +q. So does a cubical surface centered at the origin and with edges parallel to the axes. Select "True" or "False" for each statement below. 1. Suppose (for this statement only), that q is moved from the origin but is still within both the surfaces. The flux through both surfaces is changed. 2.If the radius of the spherical Gaussian Surface is varied, the...
