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.

Darina [25.2K]
Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Lisa [10]

Explanation:

Let us assume that piece 1 is m_{1} is facing west side. And, piece 2 is m_{2} facing south side.

Let m_{1} \text{and} m_{2} = m and m_{3} = 2m. Hence,

        2mv_{3y} = m(21)

          v_{3y} = \frac{21}{2}

                     = 10.5 m/s

2mv_{3x} = m(21)

          v_{3x} = \frac{21}{2}

                     = 10.5 m/s

  v_{3} = \sqrt{v^{2}_{3x} + v^{2}_{3y}}

              = \sqrt{(10.5)^{2} + (10.5)^{2}}

              = 14.84 m/s

or,          = 15 m/s

Hence, the speed of the third piece is 15 m/s.

Now, we will find the angle as follows.

          \theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{3y}}{v_{3x}})

                      = tan^{-1}(\frac{10.5}{10.5})

                      = tan^{-1} (45^{o})

                      = 45^{o}

Therefore, the direction of the third piece (degrees north of east) is north of east.

A parallel-plate air capacitor with a capacitance of 260 pF has a charge of magnitude 0.155 μC on each plate. The plates have a
butalik [34]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance C=260\ pF

Charge q=0.155\ \mu\ C

Separation of plates = 0.313 mm

We need to calculate the potential difference between the plates

Using formula of potential difference

V= \dfrac{Q}{C}

Where, Q = charge

C = capacitance

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{0.155\times10^{-6}}{260\times10^{-12}}

V=596.2\ volts

Hence,The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

About how long does it take ocean water to travel around a gyre?
mylen [45]
The Gulf Stream, for example, has an average speed of 4 mph, or 100 miles/day, or 3600 miles/year, in round numbers. A complete circuit around the Atlantic is 8 or 10 thousand miles, which would take around 3 years on a raft.
