What happens to Earth’s plates during an earthquake?

Physics
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
4 0

A) Claim 1: Plates move, which can cause earthquakes.

Explanation:

The Plate Tectonic Theory proves the claim of  plate move, causing earthquakes.

This theory states that the earth’s crust along with the uppermost mantle is formed of several thin but large surfaced rigid patch work of plate-like structures called tectonic plates.  

There are about 15 large slabs on the earth’s outer surface and constitutes the lithosphere. Lithosphere of the earth is represented by the oceanic and continental crust layer and the uppermost mantle layer.

These plates move or slide relative with each other. These plates form divergent, convergent, or transform boundaries. Slips or faults along these boundaries forms subduction zones leading to great stress. This prevents normal gliding motion resulting in earthquakes.

An artist wants to create a metal sculpture using a mold so that his artwork can be readily mass produced. He wants his sculptur
lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

A spring whose spring constant is 270 lbf/in has an initial force of 100 lbf acting on it. Determine the work, in Btu, required
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.02585 BTU

Explanation:

Given: Spring constant, k = 270 lbf/in

Initial force, f =100 lbf

Compression, x = 1 in

Work done can be calculated as follows:

W = \int {(f+kx)} \, dx \\W = fx + \frac{1}{2}kx^2\\W= (100 lbf)(1 in)+ \frac{1}{2}(270 lbf/in)(1 in)^2\\W= 100+135 = 235 lbf in\\W=235 \times 0.00011 BTU = 0.02585 BTU

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient  shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any  damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.
