From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

A transparent oil with index of refraction 1.28 spills on the surface of water (index of refraction 1.33), producing a maximum o
Veseljchak [2.6K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the principle of destructive and constructive interference. Mathematically this expression can be given as

2nt = m\lambda

Here,

n = Index of refraction

t = Thickness

m = Order of the reflection

\lambda = Wavelength

We have all of this values, therefore replacing,

2(1.28)t = (1)(600nm)

t = 233nm    

Therefore the thickness of the oil slick is 233nm

When you pick something up do you do work to it
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Simple answer: Yes

Explanation:

Even if you touch an item with a stick you re still doing work to it, most of the time something sitting on a table not being disturbed is having work done to it. Everything has the force of gravity working on it to essentially keep the items from floating away so workis being done to it.

Work done can be something so small (e.g) a pencil sitting on a table) or as big as an earthquake or kicking a ball through a window and smashing the glass.
