Which type of stress causes deformation that leads to earthquakes at converging plate boundaries?

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is <em>Compressional Stress
</em>
In geology, stress<span> is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. ... This is called confining </span>stress<span>. Compression squeezes rocks together, </span>causing<span> rocks to fold or fracture (break). Compression is the most common </span>stress<span> at </span>convergent plate boundaries<span>.

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D</span>

Answer:

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

Explanation:

We need solve this problem though the conservation of momentum. That is,

$m_1 v_1 = m_2 v_2$

$m_1=2260Kg\\m_2=15.5Kg\\v_2= 109m/s$

Using the equation to find $v_1$ ,

$v_1=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1}\\v_1=\frac{15.5*109}{2260}\\v_1= 0.7475$

Using the conservation of energy equation, we have,

$KE= \frac{1}{2}m*v^2$

$KE_{cball}=\frac{1}{2}(15.5)(109)^2=92077.75J$

$KE_{cannon}=\frac{1}{2}(2260)(0.7475)^2=631.39J$

$Total KE= 92077.75+13425530=92708.9J$

Now this energy over the cannonball

$KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2$

$92708.9=\frac{1}{2}15.5v_2^2$

$V_2 = 109.37m/s$

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

White raven [17]

So, there should be two forces acting on the refrigerator: the applied force and the friction force.

The question mentioned that the friction force was set to zero, so the only effective force now would be the applied force.

We have an applied force of 400 N to the right, this means that:
<span>The magnitude of the net force is 400, directed to the right.</span>
