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

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w
steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})

so its initial gravitational potential energy U_0 is

U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})

\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})

\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U

We know that the initial kinetic energy K_0, as well as its final gravitational potential energy U are zero so we can write the conservation law as

mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}

\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}

someone made a copy of an analog wave in a digital wave compare the copies with the original waves and explain which type of wav
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Analog transfer information quicker, example electromagnetic waves which are used in our modern day phones.

Explanation:  Digital signals are a more reliable form of transmitting information because an error in the amplitude or frequency value would have to be very large in order to cause a jump to a different value. Signals are composed of infinite possible values. Signals are composed of only two possible values: 0 or 1.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use conservation of energy

the electric potential energy is

          U = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}}

for the proton at x = -1 m

          U₁ =- k \frac{e^2 }{r+1}

for the electron at x = 1 m

          U₂ = k \frac{e^2 }{r-1}

starting point.

        Em₀ = K + U₁ + U₂

        Em₀ = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1}

final point

         Em_f = k e^2 ( -\frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})

   

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e^2 (- \frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})              

       

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e²(  \frac{2}{(r_2+1)(r_2-1)} )

we substitute the values

½ 9.1 10⁻³¹ 450 + 9 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² [ - \frac{1}{20+1} + \frac{1}{20-1} ) = 9 109 (1.6 10-19) ²( \frac{2}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 2.304 10⁻³⁷ (5.0125 10⁻³) = 4.608 10⁻³⁷ ( \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 1.1549 10⁻³⁹ = 4.608 10⁻³⁷     \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          \frac{2.0475 \ 10^{-28} }{1.1549 \ 10^{-37} } = \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          r₂² -1 = (4.443 10⁸)⁻¹

           

          r2 = \sqrt{1 + 2.25 10^{-9}}

          r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>
