If san andreas fault slips 2.5 cm each year how far would it separate in 100 years

Physics
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

250cm or 2.5m

Explanation:

using direct variation

the length is = l

the time (year) = t

let k be the constant

so he have:

l=kt

2.5=k× 1

k= 2.5

Now in the next statement the 100 is given but not the length so

l=kt

~ l=k× 100 years

But k = 2.5

so :

l= 2.5×100

l= 250 cm

Hence it will be 250cm or 2.5m at which they will get separated

F=K*X,
F=M*a 

M*a=K*X

2.5*9.81=K*0.0276

24.525=K*0.0276

24.525/0.0276=K

K= 888.6 N/m ---- force constant 

assuming 2.5 refers to the new extension, just divide F/ 0.025
to get

981N/m

The radii of curvature of a biconvex lens are 4 cm and 15 cm. The lens is in air, its index of refraction is 1.5. An object is a
rewona [7]

Answer:

v = 6.315 cm

Explanation:

given,

R₁ = 4 cm = 0.04 m

R₂ = 15 cm = 0.15 m

n =1.5

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{-1}=(1.5-1)(\dfrac{1}{0.04}+\dfrac{1}{0.15})

\dfrac{1}{v}+1 = 0.5 \times 31.66

\dfrac{1}{v} = 15.833

v = 0.06315 m

v = 6.315 cm  

hence, the distance of the image from the back surface is v = 6.315 cm

Explanation:

Tour de France is the biggest bicycle race in the world held at France over a period of 23 days. At the end of each day of racing they give to the certain riders FOUR different colored jerseys:

  1. The yellow jersey is given to the overall winner at each stage, this shows the rider who was the best in the previous stage.
  2. The green jersey is given to the best sprinter of each stage,
  3. The polka dot jersey is given to the rider who first reach the crest of designated hills and mountains at each stage.
  4. The white jersey is given to the fastest rider at each stage under 25 years at the beginning of the racing year.

At the end of the competition, the total points are counted and the different jerseys are given to the overall winners.

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.
Alla [95]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, A=3\ m^2

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why does it rain a lot?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets. ... As more and more droplets join together they become too heavy and fall from the cloud as rain. Warm air can hold more moisture than cool air. When the warmer air is cooled and the moisture condenses, it often rains more heavily.
