The correct answer is (c.) elastic. Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of elastic energy that was stored in rocks that have been subjected to great forces. This makes the rock's energy to exceed and eventually breaks the rock due to the vibrations of an earthquake.

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock 1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

T= 3600\ sec

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Put the value into the formula

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}

\omega=0.001745\ rad/s

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

a=r\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2

a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock 1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is 2.5 m.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of pool = 12 m

radius of pool, r = 6 m

Total height raised, h = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 m

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of water, m = Volume of water x density

m = πr²h x d

m = 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 5.5 x 1000

m = 113040 kg

Work = m x g x h

W = 113040 x 9.8 x 5.5

W = 6092856 J

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?
sdas [7]
The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
W=q \Delta V
where q is the charge and \Delta V is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is \Delta V = 9.0 V, so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C

You connect five identical resistors in series to a battery whose EMF is 12.0 V and whose internal resistance is negligible. You
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total resistance in the circuit

= EMF / current in the circuit

= 12 / .969

= 12.383 ohm

This resistance consists of 5 identical resistances in series

resistance of each resistor

= 12.383 / 5

= 2.476 ohm .

potential difference on each

= current x resistance of each

= .969 x 2.476

= 2.399 V

= 2.4 V

Bright white shadings on infrared images indicate cloud tops that have relatively ________ temperatures
Maru [420]
Infrared is created by detecting the produced radiation coming off of clouds. The temperature of the cloud will define the wavelength of radiation produced from the cloud. The benefit of the infrared imagery is that can be used day and night to conclude the temperature of the cloud tops and earth surface structures and to get the general idea of how clouds are. Based on the general guidelines to define cloud features, if the cloud is bright white on infrared then it is a high cloud or has a cloud top that is developed high into the troposphere. In this way infrared images actually display patterns of temperature on a gray scale such that at one extreme dark gray is warm and at the other extreme bright white is cold. A color scale is used to portray temperature and some improved infrared images show two or more gray scale sequences. High cold clouds are brighter white than low warm clouds.
