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.

Which of the following equations describes Newton’s second law

C.

Newton’s Second Law is F=ma (force is equal to the mass multiplied by acceleration), however, the equation can be rearranged to isolate and calculate mass from force over acceleration. Therefore, m=F/a

Determine the maximum shearing stress in a solid shaft of 1.5-in. diameter as it transmits 75 hp at a speed of 1800 rpm. (Round
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

\tau=3.96\ ksi

Explanation:

Given that

d= 1.5 in                      ( 1 in = 0.0254 m)

d= 0.0381 m

P= 75 hp                      ( 1 hp = 745.7 W)

P= 55927.5 W

N= 1800 rpm

We know that power P is given as

P=\dfrac{2\pi N\ T}{60}

T=Torque

N=Speed

55927.5=\dfrac{2\times \pi \times 1800\ T}{60}

T=296.85 N.m

The maximum shear stress is given as

\tau=\dfrac{16 T}{\pi d^3}

\tau=\dfrac{16\times 296.85}{\pi \times 0.0381^3}

\tau=27.35\ MPa

We know that 1 MPa =0.145 ksi

\tau=3.96\ ksi

A bomb of mass 6kg initially at rest explodes into two fragments of masses 4kg and2kg respectively. If the greater mass moves wi
Katen [24]

Answer:

v = 10 [m/s]

Explanation:

The largest mass is that of 4 [kg], in this way the momentum can be calculated by means of the product of the mass by velocity.

P=m*v\\

where:

P = momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass = 4 [kg]

v = velocity = 5 [m/s]

Now the momentum:

P=4*5\\P=20[kg*m/s]

This same momentum is equal for the other mass, in this way we can find the velocity.

P=m*v\\20=2*v\\v=10[m/s]

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same velocity when the driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Car H

Explanation:

Frictional force is a resistant force. It is given as:

F = u*m*g

Where u = coefficient of friction

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

From the formula above, we see that frictional force is dependent on the mass of object and the coefficient of friction.

Since they all have the same tires, the coefficient of friction between the tire and the floor is the same for each car. Acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant.

The only factor that determines the frictional force of each car is the mass. Hence, the more the mass, the more the frictional force.

So, the most massive car will have the most frictional force and hence, will come to a stop quicker than the others. The least massive car will have the least frictional force and so, will take a longer time to stop.
