If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, nea

r a mid ocean ridge, near a subduction zone, or on a volcanic island such as Hawaii? What are the relative risks of earthquakes at each of these locations?

Answer: A volcanic island arc like Hawaii.

Explanation: The Hawaiian island is the most safest place for the people to live in comparison to the other given options.

The plate tectonic movement generates energy due to collision, resulting in sudden release of energy, and seismic waves are produced that propagates and causes earthquake.

Due to the constant collision between the plates, different places at different time experiences earthquake. Near a fault region, earthquakes are very severe, and also near the mid oceanic ridge it is not possible for a person to live. The subduction zones are the region where a denser plate subducts beneath the other, and its impossible for life to exist there.

Thus the most safest place out of all the option is the volcanic islands where numerous people resides. for example, the Hawaiian and Stromboli.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

angle minimum   θ = 41.3º

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium

    N - W = 0

    N = W

The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall

We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive

     fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0

     

the friction force formula is

     fr = μ N

     fr = μ W

we substitute

      μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2   cos θ = 0

      μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0

         

       μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0

       sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ

       tan θ = 1/2 μ

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))

      θ = 41.3º

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t
pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin\theta\\ where;

r is the radius of the  of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

\theta\\ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/mL. How many kilograms of mercury would you expect to fit in a cylindrical glass cup with a bot
vovangra [49]

Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;</em>

density = mass / volume      

mass = density x volume       -------------(i)

The substance in question here is <em>mercury </em>which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

<em>Where;</em>

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

<em>For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm</em>

r  = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

<em>Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;</em>

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]

<em>Now the following value has been found;</em>

volume = 19406.5cm³

<em>Substitute the values of density and volume into equation (i)  as follows;</em>

mass = 19406.5cm³ x 13.56g/cm³

mass = 263152.14g

<em>Convert the result to kg by dividing by 1000</em>

mass = 263.152kg

Therefore, 263.152kg kilograms of mercury would fit in the cylindrical glass.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

2.5 ms⁻²

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force applied on the object,

By that you can get the equation,

F = ma ⇒ a = F/m

where terms are in usual meaning

a = 3750/1500 = 2.5 ms⁻²
