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

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is Compressional Stress

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

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D

A generator is designed to produce a maximum emf of 190 V while rotating with an angular speed of 3800 rpm. Each coil of the gen

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

Explanation:

Given;

maximum emf of the generator, = 190 V

angular speed of the generator, ω = 3800 rev/min =

area of the coil, A = 0.016 m²

magnetic field, B = 0.052 T

The number of turns of the generator is calculated as;

emf = NABω

where;

N is the number of turns

$\omega = 3800 \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s } = 397.99 \ rad/s$

$N = \frac{emf}{AB\omega } \\\\N = \frac{190}{0.016 \times 0.052\times 397.99} \\\\N = 573.8 \ turns$

Therefore, the number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

Part of the question is missing. Here it is:

A 72 g autographed baseball slides off of a 1.3 m high table and strikes the floor a horizontal distance of 0.7m away from the table. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2. What was the direction of the ball’s velocity just before it hit the floor?

Answer:

$\theta=-75.7^{\circ}$
