Along boundaries plates are brittle and the crust fractures (breaks and cracks) forming ___

Physics
1 answer:
docker41 [41]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Along boundaries plates are brittle and the crust fractures (breaks and cracks) forming Faults

Explanation:

Brittle material are substances that looks hard but can be easily broken by strain. Brittle deformation leads to crack and fracture of the material involve. Brittle crust lacks elastic ability , elasticity in this rocks are almost absent.

Fractures and cracks in rocks form fault. Fault is a discontinuity in rocks with an appreciable displacement. Fault is a displacement in rocks relative to one part. Generally, Fault occur when brittle rock fracture or crack, the fractured rocks move relative to one another.

Differential stress can cause rocks to fracture. If that part of the crust lacks ductility the stress on the rock will cause a brittle deformation. The brittle deformation causes fracture(breaks and cracks) leading to structure like Faults and Joints.

A gas in a closed container is heated with 12J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 3m with 5N of force. What is
levacccp [35]

Answer:

27J

Explanation:

From conservation of Thermal energy, the total internal energy is the total sum of energy supplied or taken from the system plus work done for or on the system.

Now the change in internal energy would be the sum of the received energy substended in the gas plus the work done by the system which is workdone that it will sustend in pushing the lid. This is expressed mathematically as;

U = Q + (F×d);

U- change in internal energy

Q is the energy received by the system and is positive when energy is received by the system.

Fxd is the workdone and is positive since the gas pushes up the lid- the system does work.

U=12+(3×5)= 27J

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

 we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = \frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}

where ω (angular velocity) = \frac{2π}{time}

= \frac{2π }{5.5} = 1.14

Uk = \frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8} = 0.76

Science not has only achievements but also challenges justify with an example
statuscvo [17]
For example science has discovered many amazing things like atoms,molecules which led to the development of nuclear reactors etc. Challenges would be like trying to prove theories like evolution for 100 of years trying to discover all the stuff we still don’t know exists all the mysteries of life. A lot of science is still theory we can’t prove some things until we have more advanced technology etc.

The kinetic energy of a proton and that of an a-particle are 4 eV and 1 eV,
madam [21]

Answer:

  • <u><em>(b) 1:1</em></u>

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>1. Formulae:</u>

  • E = hf  
  • E = h.v/λ
  • λ = h/(mv)
  • E = (1/2)mv²

Where:

  • E = kinetic energy of the particle
  • λ = de-Broglie wavelength
  • m = mass of the particle
  • v = speed of the particle
  • h = Planck constant

<u><em>2. Reasoning</em></u>

An alha particle contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons, thus its mass number is 4.

A proton has mass number 1.

Thus, the relative masses of an alpha particle and a proton are:

       \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4

For the kinetic energies you find:

          \dfrac{E_\alpha}{E_p}=\dfrac{m_\alpha \times v_\alpha^2}{m_p\times v_p^2}

            \dfrac{1eV}{4eV}=\dfrac{4\times v_\alpha^2}{1\times v_p^2}\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p^2}{v_\alpha^2}=16\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p}{v_\alpha}=4

Thus:

           \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4=\dfrac{v_p}{v__\alpha}

          m_\alpha v_\alpha=m_pv_p

From de-Broglie equation, λ = h/(mv)  

       \dfrac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha}=\dfrac{m_\lambda v_\lambda}{m_pv_p}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1:1

Why is the following situation impossible? A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as h
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A skater glides along a circular path. She defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point at which the distance she has traveled along the path from the origin is smaller than the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

So here in circular motion of the skater we can see that the total path length of the skater is along the arc of the circle while we can say that displacement is defined as the shortest distance between initial and final position of the object.

So it is not possible in any circle that arc-length is less than the chord joining the two points on the circle

As we know that arc length is given as

L = R\theta

length of chord is given as

L_c = 2Rsin(\frac{\theta}{2})

so here

L > L_c

R\theta > 2R sin(\frac{\theta}{2})

so we have

\frac{\theta}{2} > sin(\frac{\theta}{2})
