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.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$T_2 = 77.5c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first bolts $T_1=100$

Temp of 2nd bolt $T_2=55$

Generally the equation showing the relationship between heat & temperature is given by

$q=cm \triangle T$

Generally heat released by the iron bolt = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

$-(0.45*m* (T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)$

$-(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)$

$T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c$

$T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}$

$T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$

Therefore $T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$ is the final temperature inside the container

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$1270.64\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = $\dfrac{mg}{g}$

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}$

The work done against friction is $1270.64\ \text{J}$ .
