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.

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is 4.6\times 10^{6} s

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}         (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}

T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}

T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s

2. A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It weighs 16kg. The block has
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

3136 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

P.E = mgh.............. Equation 1

Where P.E = potential energy, m = mass of the cinder block, h = height of the platform, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: m = 16 kg, h = 20 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P.E = 16(20)(9.8)

P.E = 3136 Joules

Hence the potential energy of the cinder block is 3136 Joules
