What is an intraplate quake? What causes them?

1 answer:

8 0

intraplate earthquake<span> occurs in the interior of a </span>tectonic plate, basically its a lower version of an earth quake but just less damage. The cause of them is the two tectonic plate hitting each other or i should say sliding togather.

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert

pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

$W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J$

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?

konstantin123 [22]

The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers - troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere, stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

A conical container of radius 6 ft and height 24 ft is filled to a height of 19 ft of a liquid weighing 64.4 lb divided by ft cu

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Part (i) work required to pump the contents to the rim is 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5ft above the cone's rim is 426,484.878 lb.ft

Explanation:

The center of mass of a uniform solid right circular cone of height h lies on the axis of symmetry at a distance of h/4 from the base and 3h/4 from the top.

Center mass of the liquid Z = (24-19)ft + 19/4 = 5ft + 4.75ft = 9.75 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = volume × density (ρ) = ¹/₃.π.r².h.ρ

where;

r is the radius of the liquid surface = [6*(19/24)]ft = 4.75ft

ρ is the density of liquid = 64.4 lb/ft³

h is the height of the liquid = 19 ft

Mass of liquid in the cone = ¹/₃ × π × (4.75)² × 19 × 64.4 = 28,914.229 lbs

Part (i) work required to pump the contents to the rim

Work required = 28,914.229 lbs × 9.75 ft = 281,913.733 lb.ft

Part (ii) work required to pump the liquid to a level of 5 ft above the cone's rim

Extra work required = 28,914.229 lb × 5ft = 144571.145 lb.ft

Total work required = (281,913.733 + 144571.145) lb.ft

= 426,484.878 lb.ft
