 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 cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of 10.0 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal to that
kherson [118]

Answer:

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

Explanation:

From the above question, we are told that:

Kinetic Energy of the proton is K. E = 10.0 MeV

Step 1

We convert 10.0 MeV to Joules

1 Mev = 1.602 × 10-13 Joules

10.0 MeV = 10.0 × 1.602 × 10^-13 Joules = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Hence, the Kinectic energy of a proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Step 2

Find the Speed of the Proton

The formula for Kinectic Energy =

K.E = 1/ 2 mv²

Where

m = mass of the proton

v = speed of the proton

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kilograms

Speed of the proton = ?

1.602 × 10^-12J = 1/2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 × v²

1.602 × 10^-12J = 8.3631095 ×10^-28 × v²

v² = 1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28

v = √(1.602 × 10^-12/8.3631095 ×10^-28)

v = 43772331.227m/s

v = 4.3772331227 × 10^7m/s

Approximately = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

Step 3

Find the Magnetic Field of that region of space

The formula for Magnetic Field =

B = m v / q r

We are told that the proton executes a circular orbit, hence,

mv = √2m(KE)

m = Mass of the proton = 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg

K.E of the proton = 1.602 × 10^-12 J

v = speed of the proton = 4.4 × 10^7 m/s

q = Electric charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C

r = radius of the orbit = 5.80Ã10^10 m

= 5.8 × 10^10m

Magnetic Field =

=√ (2 × 1.6726219 × 10^-27 kg × 1.602 × 10^-12 J) /( 1.6 × 10^-19 C × 5.80 × 10^10 m)

= 7.88 × 10^-12 T

The magnetic field in that region of space is approximately 7.88 × 10^-12 T

A steel cable with Cross Sectional Area 3.00cm² has an elastic limit of 2.40 x 10^8pascals. Find the maximum upward acceleration
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Stress = F / A       force per unit area

A = 3.00 cm^2 = 3 E-4  m^2

F = 2.4E8 N/m^2 * 3E-4 m^2 = 7.2E4 N    max force applied

F/3 = 2.4E4 N  if force not to exceed limit   (= f)

f = M a

a = 2.4 E4 N / 1.2 E3 kg = 20 m / s^2      about 2 g

Consider two wheels with fixed hubs. The hub cannot move, but the wheel can rotate about it. The hubs are fixed to a stationary
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 4 N

Explanation:

Given that

I=mr^2

For wheel A

m= 1 kg

d= 1 m,r= 0.5 m

F=1 N

We know that

T= F x r

T=1 x 0.5 N.m

T= 0.5 N.m

T= I α

Where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration

I_A=1 \times 0.5^2\ kg.m^2

I_A=0.25\ kg.m^2

T= I α

0.5= 0.25 α

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

For Wheel B

m= 1 kg

d= 2 m,r=1 m

I_B=1 \times 1^2\ kg.m^2

I_B=1 \ kg.m^2

Given that angular acceleration is same for both the wheel

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

T= I α

T= 1 x 2

T= 2 N.m

Lets force on wheel is F then

T = F x r

2 = F x 1

So F= 2 N

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 2 N
