Earthquakes are usually caused by tectonic plates slipping past each other. An earthquake generates seismic waves of energy that

travel through the ground. What would you expect to happen when a seismic wave passes from the ground into a body of water?

Which of the following are examples of levers?

guajiro [1.7K]

The examples of levers are seesaw, door and corkscrew

Answer: Option A, B, and C

<u>Explanation:</u>

A simple machine which is capable of rotating or moving with respect to a fixed point at the center of mass is termed as lever. Lever is made up of a rigid rod which acts as the beam or the object on which the effort can be applied based on the load and a fixed hinge like thing named as fulcrum or the center of mass.

The fulcrum will be fixed and the beam will be rotating or moving with the support of fulcrum at the center for given load or effort. So among the given options, ramp is not falling under the categories of lever as door also have a fulcrum. But the ramp is only an inclined plane without fulcrum. But the Seesaw, door and the corkscrew has both fulcrum and beam which confirms them falling in the category of lever.

I need help with number so can any one help me please and thanks

Inga [223]

Answer:

Experiment plays many roles in science. One of its important roles is to test theories and to provide the basis for scientific knowledge. ... Experiment can provide hints toward the structure or mathematical form of a theory and it can provide evidence for the existence of the entities involved in our theories.

A horizontal beam of electrons initially moving at 4.0×10^7 m/s is deflected vertically by the vertical electric field between o

givi [52]

Answer:

$1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

0.000439077936334 m

Explanation:

q = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

E = Electric field = $2\times 10^{4}\ N/C$

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

d = Distance between plates = 2 cm (assumed)

m = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

The beam consists of electrons which means it has negative charge this means the upper plates will be positive and the lower plate will be negative.

The direction is upper to lower lower plate.

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\epsilon_0E\\\Rightarrow \phi=8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 2\times 10^{4}\\\Rightarrow \phi=1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The charge per unit area on the plates is $1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

Deflection is given by

$s=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{qE}{m}(\dfrac{d}{v})^2\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2\times 10^4}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}(\dfrac{0.02}{4\times 10^7})^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.000439077936334\ m$

The deflection is 0.000439077936334 m

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion, how much water stored behind a 50 centimetre high hydroelectric dam would be required

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Complete question is;

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion how much water stored behind a 50 centimeter high hydroelectric dam would be required to charge the battery with power rating, 12 V, 50 Ampere-minutes

Answer:

Amount of water required to charge the battery = 7.35 m³

Explanation:

The formula for Potential energy of the water at that height = mgh

Where;

m = mass of the water

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

H = height of water = 50 cm = 0.5 m

We know that in density, m = ρV

Where;

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = volume of water

So, potential energy is now given as;

Potential energy = ρVgH = 1000 × V × 9.8 × 0.5 = (4900V) J

Now, formula for energy of the battery is given as;

E = qV

We are given;

q = 50 A.min = 50 × 60 = 3,000 C

V = 12 V

Thus;

qV = 3,000 × 12 = 36,000 J

E = 36,000 J

At a 100% conversion rate, the energy of the water totally powers the battery.

Thus;

(4900V) = (36,000)

4900V = 36,000

V = 36,000/4900

V = 7.35 m³

I’m struggling... please help

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

M. A change that causes the gene to increase the amount of lactase ir produces will increase a person's ability to break down lactose

Explanation:

Lactose is a sugar found in dairy products. Humans require an enzyme, called lactase, to break down the sugar in the body. This enzyme is produced by the lactase gene.

Some people have some variation in their gene that means they do not produce very much lactase. This means they do not produce sufficient amount of the enzyme to break down the sugar lactose found in milk. This causes them to feel ill and get abdominal pain when they eat dairy, because their body can't break down the sugar.

Therefore, a change in the gene that causes it to produce more lactase will make people more able to consume lactase. A change that decreases the amount of lactase enzyme will have the opposite effect.

The source of protein and minerals found in dairy are not processed by lactase, so R is not correct.
