Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

A train travels 200km/hr. how much distance will the train be from the station in 2.5 hours?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

500km

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed = 200km/hr

Time taken = 2.5hrs

Unknown:

Distance = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the speed, time and distance equation.

Therefore;

Distance = Speed x time

So;

Distance = 200 x 2.5 = 500km

When the current in a toroidal solenoid is changing at a rate of 0.0240 A/s , the magnitude of the induced emf is 12.4 mV . When

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 230.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of change of current, $\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0.0240\ A/s$

Induced emf, $\epsilon=12.4\ mV=12.4\times 10^{-3}\ V$

Current, I = 1.5 A

Magnetic flux, $\phi=0.00338\ Wb$

The induced emf through the solenoid is given by :

$\epsilon=L\dfrac{dI}{dt}$

$L=\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}$ ........(1)

The self inductance of the solenoid is given by :

$L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$ .........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get :

$\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$

N is the number of turns in the solenoid

$N=\dfrac{\epsilon I}{\phi (dI/dt)}$

$N=\dfrac{12.4\times 10^{-3}\times 1.5}{0.00338 \times 0.024}$

N = 229.28 turns

N = 230 turns

So, the number of turns in the solenoid is 230. Hence, this is the required solution.

6. Draw conclusions: Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will travel at a constant velocity unless acted upon by

gavmur [86]

You can test if it’s true by holding a pencil in mid air over a table and the table is supposed to be the unbalanced forced that stopped the pencil from moving at the constant velocity it was going by.
