Which factors are involved in earthquakes formation (multiple choice)

Physics
2 answers:
RoseWind [281]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1- Option (A) and (D)

2- Mercalli scale measures earthquake magnitude depending on its size

Explanation:

Earthquake occurs due to the sudden shaking of the earth. During an earthquake, seismic waves are produced, namely P wave and S wave, and this waves propagates through the interior of the earth depending upon its magnitude and intensity, thus<u> travelling below the earth's surface</u>.

Due to this wave propagation<u> the rocks breaks</u> and adjust themselves and the faulting occurs along the weak zones.

<u>According to the Mercalli scale, the earthquake is measured in terms of intensity of the shaking of the ground and the size</u>. If a small area is affected then its magnitude is less but if an earthquake affects a large area then it is a severe one.

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

Which of the following represents the greatest energy transition from a higher energy level to a lower one?
prohojiy [21]
You need to use Planck's law:
E = h·υ = (h·c)/λ

Without making all the calculations, a fraction is bigger than another when the denominator is smaller. Therefore you need to find the smallest wavelength (λ) which is 450nm.

You could also be helped by colors: in order of decreasing energy, you have blue - green - yellow - red.

In any case, the correct answer is a).

An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.31 m and a spring constant of 220 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached
Kruka [31]
The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx

It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring. 

a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be 
<span>F = kx 
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N 
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.
