Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of which kind of energy stored in rock subjected to great forces?

2 answers:

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.

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, $\rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.$

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

$\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.$

where,

$\rm \sigma$ = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = $\dfrac qA$ .

$\rm q$ = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
$\rm A$ = surface area of each of the plate = $\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.$
$\epsilon_o$ = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.$

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

$\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

Answer:

A regulation game consists of 7 innings unless extended because of a tie score or unless shortened because the home team needs none or only a fraction of its 7th inning or unless 1 team is leading by 10 runs after 5 innings.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

wo = 18.75 rev / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise in endowment kinematics, it indicates that the final angular velocity is w_f = 109 rad / s, the time to reach this velocity is t = 1.87 s and the deceleration a = 4.7 rad / s²

w_f = w₀ - a t

w₀ = w_f + a t

w₀ = 109 + 4.7 1.87

w₀ = 117.8 rad / s

let's reduce to revolutions / s

w₀ = 117.8 rad / s (1 rev / 2pi rad)

w₀ = 18.75 rev / s
