Explain in detail what happens to the Earths surface after an earthquake due to the force of tension

After the two plates Collide the amount of tension is what makes the two plates slip. When two plates slip the Earths surface begins to move because of the slipping of the plates thats when we feel an earth quake. After the earth quake is finshed the tension between the two plates happen again so the Earths surface may be cracked as a result of the immense slipping. But the tension will happen again and devolpe slowly over time. Intill it happens again almost like a cycle

The engine of a locomotive exerts a constant force of 8.1*10^5 N to accelerate a train to 68 km/h. Determine the time (in min) t

Bumek [7]

Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of $8.1\times 10^5 N$

Mass of train $=1.9\times 10^7$

Final speed (v) $=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s$

F=ma

so $acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}$

$a=0.042631 m/s^2$

and acceleration is

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}$

$t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s$

Help mee! Physics i think!

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Use the form of equation:

Q=mL

You have the specific latent heat of vaporization L = 2.260*10^{6}

And Q, the heat energy supplied, which equals 1695 KJ = 1695*10^{3} J

So you can get the mass by substitution in the formula below.

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify

frosja888 [35]

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.
