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

The flagpole is held vertical by two ropes. The first of these ropes has a tension in it of 100 N and is at an angle of 60° to t
KatRina [158]

Answer:

T₂ = 123.9 N,  θ = 66.2º

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we use the law of equilibrium, since the diaphragm does not appear, let's use the adjoint to see the forces in the system.

The tension T1 = 100 N, we create a reference frame centered on the pole

X axis

       T₁ₓ - T_{2x} = 0

        T_{2x}= T₁ₓ

Y axis y

      T_{1y} + T_{2y} - 200N = 0

      T_{2y} = 200 -T_{1y}

let's use trigonometry to find the component of the stresses

         sin 60 = T_{1y} / T₁

         cos 60 = t₁ₓ / T₁

         T_{1y} = T₁ sin 60

         T1x = T₁ cos 60

         T_{1y}y = 100 sin 60 = 86.6 N

         T₁ₓ = 100 cos 60 = 50 N

for voltage 2 it is done in the same way

         T_{2y} = T₂ sin θ

         T₂ₓ = T₂ cos θ

we substitute

         

           T₂ sin θ= 200 - 86.6 = 113.4

           T₂ cos θ = 50              (1)

to solve the system we divide the two equations

           tan θ = 113.4 / 50

           θ = tan⁻¹ 2,268

           θ = 66.2º

we caption in equation 1

           T₂ cos 66.2 = 50

           T₂ = 50 / cos 66.2

           T₂ = 123.9 N

A 0.380 kg block of wood rests on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a spring (also horizontal) with a 28.0 N/
Sati [7]

Initial momentum of the Play-doh: 0.0600 x 2.60 = 0.156 kg/m/s

Total mass of the block and play-doh: 0.38 + 0.0600 = 0.44 kg.

Final momentum is mass x velocity = 0.44v

V = Initial momentum / mass

V = 0.156 / 0.44 = 0.3545 m/s

Work done by spring is equal to the Kinetic enrgy.

Work Done by spring = 1/2 *28.0 * distance^2 = 14 * d^2

KE = 1/2 * 0.44* 0.3545^2

set to equal each other:

14 * d^2 = 0.22 *0.12567

Solve for d:

d = √(0.22*0.12567)/14

d = 0.44 meters = 4.4cm

A small uniform disk and a small uniform sphere are released simultaneously at the top of a high inclined plane, and they roll d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

the sphere

Explanation:

From the given information,

A free flow body diagrammatic expression  for the small uniform disk and a small uniform sphere which are released simultaneously at the top of a high inclined plane  can be seen in the image attached below.

From the diagram;

The Normal force mgsinθ - Friction force F  = mass m × acceleration a

Meanwhile; the frictional force

F = \dfrac{I \alpha }{R}

where

\alpha = \dfrac{a}{R}  in a rolling motion

Then;

F = \dfrac{I a }{R^2}

∴

The Normal force mgsinθ - F  =  m ×  a     can be re-written as:

\mathtt{mg sin \ \theta- \dfrac{Ia}{R^2} = ma}

making a the subject of the formula, we have:

a = (\dfrac{mg \ sin \theta}{m + \dfrac{I}{R^2}})

Similarly;

I = mk²  in which k is the radius of gyration

∴

replacing I = mk² into the above equation , we have:

a = (\dfrac{mg \ sin \theta}{m + \dfrac{mk^2}{R^2}})

where;

the uniform disk \dfrac{k^2}{R^2 }= \dfrac{1}{2}  

the uniform  sphere \dfrac{k^2}{R^2 }= \dfrac{2}{5}

∴

a = \dfrac{2}{3} \ g sin \theta \ for \ the \ uniform \ disk

a = \dfrac{5}{7} \ g sin \theta \ for \ the \ uniform \ sphere

We can now see that the uniform sphere is greater than the disk as such the sphere will reach the bottom first.

If Object C and Object D both have the same momentum, which statement is true? Question 11 options: They both have the same velo
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The product of mass times velocity for both objects is the same.

Explanation:

They both have the same velocity. False

They both have the same mass. False: Because two objects of different masses can have the same momentum. The least massive of the two objects will have the greatest kinetic energy.

The product of mass times velocity for both objects is the same. True: Same momentum means that the large mass must have a small velocity; therefore, their product is equal to the small mass times a large velocity.

Mass and velocity is the same for both. False: Based on what was stated for the second option.
