True or False? Megathrust earthquakes, like one that can occur on the Cascadia subduction zone off the coast of Oregon and North

ern California (north of Mendocino California), can be strongest in magnitude—stronger than a San Andreas earthquake like 1906.

Answer: True

Explanation:

A megathrust earthquake is a very strong and large earthquake that occurs in a subduction zone, a region where one of the earth's tectonic plates is thrust under another

The 1700 Cascadia earthquake is estimated moment magnitude of 8.7–9.2  The length of the fault rupture was about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), with an average slip of 20 meters (66 ft).

While the California earthquake of April 18, 1906 ranks as one of the most significant earthquakes of all time. But the length of the fault rupture was about, 296 miles (477 kilometers) of the San Andreas fault from northwest of San Juan Bautista to the triple junction at Cape Mendocino.

Since the ruptured length of the coast of Oregon and Northern California (north of Mendocino California), is great than a San Andreas earthquake like 1906, so it magnitude likewise.

A 1.00-kg object is attached by a thread of negligible mass, which passes over a pulley of negligible mass, to a 2.00-kg object.
Anna [14]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

v = 2.56 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass A = 1 kg

mass B = 2 kg

vertical distance between them = 1 m

F_d = mg

F_d = 2 \times 9.8

F_d = 19.6\ N

F_u = mg

F_u = 1 \times 9.8

F_u = 9.8\ N

F_{net} = 19.6 - 9.8

F_{net}=9.8\ N

F = (m_1+m_2)a

9.8 = (2+1)a

a = 3.27 m/s²

The speed of the system at that moment is:

v² = u² + 2×a×s

v² = 0² + 2× 3.27 × 1

v ² = 6.54

v = 2.56 m/s

A vessel that contains a gas has two pressure gauges attached to it. One contains liquid mercury, and the other an oil such as d
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Pressure of the gas = 12669 (Pa) and height of the oil is 1,24 meters

Explanation:

First, we can use the following sketch for an easy understanding, in the attached image we can see the two pressure gauges the one with mercury to the right and the other one with oil to left. We have all the information needed in the mercury pressure gauge, so we can determine the pressure inside the vessel because the fluid is a gas it will have the same pressure distributed inside the vessel (P1).

Since P1 = Pgas, we can use the same formula, but this time we need to determine the height of the column of oil in the pressure gauge.

The result is that the height of the oil column is higher than the height of the one that uses mercury, this is due to the higher density of mercury compared to oil.

Note: the information given in the units of the fluids is not correct because the density is always expressed in units of (mass /volume)

Where does pressure come from?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j
AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of \Psi are [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

2) Fundamental units of \Phi are [\frac{mol}{m^3}]

Explanation:

The equation for the variable \rho is

\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}

where we have:

\rho measured in [\frac{mol}{ft^3}]

\gamma measured in [\frac{J}{kg}]

r measured in [in]

g measured in [\frac{m}{s^2}]

We can re-write the equation as

\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, \Psi must have the same units of \rho r g. So,

[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of \Psi are

[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

2)

The term 2\gamma \Phi must have the same units of \Psi in order to be added to it. Therefore,

[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

We also know that the units of \gamma are [\frac{J}{kg}], therefore

[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]

And so, the fundamental units of \Phi are

[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]

However, the Joules can be written as

[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]

Therefore

[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]
