How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?

Physics

Allisa [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.

Sound waves don't cause earthquakes.

When parts of the Earth shake and quake and rub against each other, THAT's an earthquake.

THEN, whenever anything is shaking, THAT makes sound waves.

If the magnetic force is 3.5 × 10–2 N, how fast is the charge moving?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The velocity of charge is 1.1×10⁴

Option(D)

Explanation:

F = q(v×B)

3.5×10-²= (8.4×10-⁴)*(v)*(6.7×10-³)*sin35

v = (3.5)/(8.4×6.7×0.57) × 10⁵

v = 3.5/32.08 × 10⁵

v = 0.109 × 10⁵

v ≈ 1.1 × 10⁴ m/s

Two objects of the same mass are on two different planets. Planet A has a force of gravity that is weaker than that of planet B.
iris [78.8K]
C) The weight of the object on planet A will be less than the weight of the object on planet B.


This happened because: when gravitational pull of a planet is weak, an object will weigh less as a result of less gravity forcing it down to the ground.

Two balls of equal mass are thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity. They hit identical stationary boxes resting on a
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The box 1 moves faster.

Explanation:

lets

Mass =m  kg

Initial velocity = u m/s

Initial velocity of box = 0 m/s

Let stake mass of block = m

When ball bounces back:

The final speed of the box = v

Final speed of ball = - u

Pi = Pf  ( From linear momentum conservation)

m x u + m x 0 = m ( - u) + m v

mu + mu = m v

v= 2 u

When ball get stuck :

The final speed of ball and box = v

Pi = Pf  ( From linear momentum conservation)

m x u + m x 0 = (m+m) v

v= u /2

So the box 1 moves faster.

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.40 m and a spring constant of 340 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

(a) Both the charges are positive or negative.

(b) Teh value of each charge is 1.53 x 10^-5 C.

Explanation:

Spring constant, K = 340 N/m

Natural length, L = 0.4 m

stretch, y = 0.033 m

(a) Let the charge on each sphere is q and they repel each other so the nature of charge of either sphere may be both positive or both negative.  

(b) The electrostatic force is balanced by the spring force.

\frac{kq^2}{(L + y)^2}=Ky\\\\\\\frac{9\times 10^9 q^2}{(0.4 +0.033)^2} = 340\times0.033\\\\q= 1.53\times 10^{-5} C
