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.

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

grin007 [14]

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let $P$ be the pressure at a point.

Let $p$ be the density fluid at a point.

Let $v$ be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that $P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant$ for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let $p_{up}$ be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let $p_{do}$ be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

$\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}$

So, $p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa$

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is $27ms^{2}$ .

So,lifting force is $16398.48\times 27=442758.96N$

The cavity within a copper [β = 51 × 10-6 (C°)-1] sphere has a volume of 1.180 × 10-3 m3. Into this cavity is placed 1.100 × 10-

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The answer is " $60.74^{\circ}$ ".

Explanation:

Cavity and benzene should be extended in equal quantities.

$\to 1.18 \times 10^{-3}\times (1+ \Delta T \times 0.000051) = 1.1\times 10^{-3} \times (1+ \Delta T \times 0.00124)\\\\\to (\frac{1.18}{1.1})\times (1+ \Delta T \times 0.000051) = 1+ \Delta T \times 0.00124\\\\ \to 1.072\times (1+ \Delta T \times 0.000051) = 1+ \Delta T \times 0.00124\\\\ \to 1.072+ \Delta T \times 0.000054672 = 1+ \Delta T \times 0.00124\\\\ \to 1.072+ \Delta T \times 0.000054672 - 1- \Delta T \times 0.00124=0\\\\$

$\to 0.072+ \Delta T \times 0.000054672 - \Delta T \times 0.00124=0\\\\ \to 0.072+ \Delta T ( 0.000054672 -0.00124)=0\\\\ \to \Delta T ( 0.000054672 -0.00124)= -0.072\\\\ \to \Delta T = -\frac{0.072}{( 0.000054672 -0.00124)}\\\\ \to \Delta T = -\frac{0.072}{-0.001185328 }\\$

$\to \Delta T = \frac{0.072}{0.001185328 }\\\\ \to \Delta T = 60.74^{\circ}\\$

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called ________.

tatyana61 [14]

<span>Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.
</span>

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.

arlik [135]

Answer:

the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J

Explanation:

The computation of the kinetic energy is shown below:

Kinetic energy = 1 ÷ 2 × mass × velocity^2

= 1 ÷ 2 × 4 kg × 40 m/s^2

= 3,200 J

Hence the height of the potential energy is 3,200 J
