The third one is false,

The atmosphere has some weight and it gravitates, true, but the very most part of the gravity comes from the Earth mass, much heavier than all the gast in the atmosphere.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

If a piece of an object is dropped down vertically is the moment of inertia gonna be 0? And why?
Degger [83]

Answer:

The object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero. Once the object has left contact with whatever held or threw it, the object is in free-fall. Under these circumstances, the motion is one-dimensional and has constant acceleration of magnitude g.

No so sure

Explanation:

Hope it helps

If it is brittle, dissolves easily in water, has a high melting point, and conducts electric current it is a(n) __________.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Ionic Compound

Explanation:

We know that an ionic compound dissolves easily in water. Its melting point is very high, and it is a conductor.

The equation for Ionic Compound (IC) versus Electricity (EC) is

IC=1/2 divided by EC

EC is the base for the mathematics, so EC is a base warmth at 360.

360 divided by 1/2 is 180

That is the speed in which the current has.
