Seismic waves and water can weaken soil, causing it to move. This is called earthquake and erosion. Earthquake happens when the Earth is shaking and usually causes big damages on infrastructures. Erosion is the slowly breaking of either water, wind, etc.

The answer is liquefaction.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when soil saturated in water or unconsolidated soil becomes a suspension because of an earthquake. The earthquake reduces the strength and stiffness of the soil. The vibrations from the earthquake and water pressure cause the soil particles to loosen.

An electron is ejected from the cathode by a photon with an energy slightly greater than the work function of the cathode. How w
Ksivusya [100]

It will be approximately equal.

<h3>How will the final kinetic energy change?</h3>

We can infer that all of the energy in the electron is Potential energy (PE) because the energy provided by the photon is hardly enough to outweigh the work function.

It will gain kinetic energy (KE) as it advances in the direction of the anode because it is moving through an electric field. All of the PE will have been transformed to KE by the time it reaches the anode.

According to the question

K = hf - W

W = Work function

The energy of photons is comparable. After conversion, there was only a little amount of KE remaining.

Therefore, PE (W) essentially equals KE (K).

It will about be equal.

Sometimes students are taught that "air expands as it is heated". And sometimes they are taught that "as air expands it cools".
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Both are true under specific circumstances. And are related to Boyle's law. volume and pressure in a gas are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

There is a tendency to entropy in our reality, that is, in particular true and visible with gases, they tend to occupy the whole space where they are confined, when we heat a volume of gas, then the movement of the particles and in consequence the pressure of the gas increases and to compensate this the volume tends to be increased too, according to Boyle's law. And the opposite happens when the volume is increased, then the pressure is  relieved and since the particles are further one from each other, then the temperature is lower, and therefore it cools down.

Describe the energy transfer when you touch a block of ice with your hand
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Thermal energy always flows from the warmer object to the colder object. This causes your hand to get cold, while the ice absorbs your heat and melts.

Which statement best define percent error? check all that apply.
Art [367]

Percent error is the difference between the experimental value and theoretical value and measures the accuracy of the result found. The larger the error, lesser is the accuracy and vice versa.

Solution:

It is a mathematical way of showing accuracy

The higher the percent error, the less accurate the data set,
