Fault block mountains form when large blocks of crust are and tilted along normal faults

1 answer:

6 0

Fault block mountains form when large blocks of crust are uplifted and tilted along normal faults. The uplifted blocks are called block mountains. They are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks<span> when forces in the Earth's crust pull it apart. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upward and others collapse down.</span>

A submersible pump is put under the water at the bottom of a well and is used to push water up through a pipe. What minimum outp

Maslowich

Answer:

695800 N/m^2 or Pa

Explanation:

Height of the water from the ground H = 71 m

Acceleration due to gravity g =9.8 m/s^2

density of water ρ= 1000 kg/m^3

The minimum output gauge pressure to make water reach height H

P= ρgH

= 1000×9.8×71= 695800 N/m^2 or Pa

Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?

mylen [45]

Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:

Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?

provide a diverse habitat for many organisms

experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts

store and transport the Sun's heat energy

reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters

Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.

Explanation:

Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.

A simple pendulum is made by tying a 2.44 kg stone to a string 4.57 m long. The stone is projected perpendicularly to the string

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$v_{max}=8.2226m/s$

Explanation:

The problem is solved using the law of conservation of energy,

$mgL(1-cos\theta)+\frac{1}{2}mv^2_0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{2gL(1-cos\theta)+v^2_0}$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(4.57)(1-cos(69.4))+8^2}$

$v_{max}=8.2226m/s$

How do you think that changing the mass of the pendulum bob will affect the period of the pendulum swing?

myrzilka [38]

(Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)
