Answer:

Fault

Explanation:

The answer is fault because.... A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. Faults have no particular length scale.

18. Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5 kg object on the moon will weigh A. the same amount. B. less. C. more.
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

B. less

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity on Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

acceleration due to gravity on Moon, g = 1.6 m/s²

Given mass of the object as, m = 5 kg

Weight of an object is given as, W = mg

                                                         

Weight of the object on Earth, W = 5 x 9.8 = 49 N

Weight of the object on Moon, W = 5 x 1.6 = 8 N

Therefore, the object weighs less on the moon compared to its weight on Earth.

The correct option is "B. less"

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge
DerKrebs [107]
The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

If each washer has a mass of 4.9 g, then the mass of two washers in kilograms would be Given that F = ma, and if 4 washers are a
zysi [14]

Given that,

Mass of each washer  = 4.9 g

We need to calculate the mass of two washers in kg

Using conversion of unit

Mass of each washer m= 4.9\times10^{-3}\ Kg

So, Mass of two washers is

M=2\times m

Put the value of m

M=2\times4.9\times10^{-3}\ k

M=0.0098\ Kg

If 4 washer are attached to the spring

We need to calculate the applied force on the car

Using formula of force

F=mg

Put the value into the formula

F=4\times4.9\times10^{-3}\times9.8

F=0.192\ N

Hence, (i), The mass of two washers is 0.0098 kg.

(ii). The applied force on the car is 0.192 N.

Two charged spheres are 20cm apart and exert an attractive force of 6x10^-9 N on each other. What will be the force of attractio
Travka [436]
The force of attraction between 2 charged spheres can be explained by Coulomb's law,
It states the force of attraction is directly proportional to the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

/F =  \frac{k q_{1}  q_{2} }{ r^{2} }
where F - force of attraction/repulsion
q₁ and q₂ - charges of the 2 spheres 
k - Coulomb's law constant
r - distance between the spheres

In the question given, the charges of the spheres remain constant in both instances, only distance changes. Therefore (kq₁q₂) = c which is a constant 
then F = c / r²
first instance 
6 x 10⁻⁹ N = c/ (20 cm)² ---1)
F = c/(10 cm)² --- 2)
2) / 1)
\frac{F}{6* 10^{-9} } =  \frac{400}{100}
F = 6 x 10⁻⁹ x 4
F = 2.4 x 10⁻⁸ N
