Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

  • The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.
  • This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.

If the back of the truck is 1.3 m above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 22 ∘ , how much time do the workers have to get t
solong [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.

The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m

The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²

The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s

Answer: 1.375 s

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!

In a certain region of space, the electric potential is V(x,y,z)=Axy-Bx^2+Cy , where A,B , and C are positive constants.a) Calcu
laiz [17]

Answer:

a)  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x , b)  Ey = -Ax –C , c) Ez = 0 , d) The correct answer is 3

Explanation:

The electric field and the electric power are related

                    E = - dV / ds

a) Let's find the electric field on the x axis

                  Eₓ = - dV / dx

                  dV / dx = A y - B 2x

                  Eₓ = - A y + 2B x

b) calculate the electric field on the y-axis

                Ey = - dV / dy

                dV / dy = A x + C

                Ey = -Ax –C

c) the electric field on the z axis

              dv / dz = 0

              Ez = 0

.d) at which point the electric field is zero

Since the electric field is a vector quantity all components must be zero

X axis

              0 = = - A y + 2B x

              y = 2B / A x

Axis y

             0 = -Ax –C

              .x = -C / A

We substitute this value in the previous equation

             .y = 2B / A (-C / A)

             .y = 2 B C / A2

The correct answer is 3
