After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

A 1400.0 kg car crests a 3200.0 m pass in the mountains and briefly comes to rest. The car descends 1000 m before climbing and c
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) v = 88.54 m/s

b) vf = 26.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 1400.0 kg

a)

by using the energy conservation

loss in potential energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

mg × ( 3200-2800) = 1/2 ×m×v²

so

1400 × 9.8 × 400 = 0.5 × 1400 × v²

5488000 = 700v²

v² = 5488000 / 700

v² = 7840

v = √7840

v = 88.54 m/s

b)

Work done by all forces is equal to change in KE

W_gravity + W_non - conservative = 1/2×m×(vf² - vi²)

we substitute

1400 × 9.8 × ( 3200-2800) - (5 × 10⁶) = 1/2 × 1400 × (vf²  -0 )

488000 = 700 vf²

vf² = 488000 / 700

vf² = 697.1428

vf = √697.1428

vf = 26.4 m/s

5. How much heat is generated when an
Mila [183]

Answer:

I HOPE THIS IS CORRECT

Explanation:

Power of water =2 kw=2000w

Mass of water =200kg

difference in temperature ΔT=70−10=60oC

Concept

energy required to heat the water = energy given by water in time t=pt

energy required to increase tempeature of water by 60oC,Q=msΔT

S= specific heat =4200J/kgoC

              pt=msΔT

   2000×t=200×4200×60

      t=25200  

or   t=25.2×103sec.

If the density of a substance is 5g/cm3 and the volume is 10cm3,<br> determine the mass.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g

Explanation:

This is just a conversion formula. Easy to find using dimensional analysis.

(5g/cm³)*(10cm³) = 50g
