A major strike-slip earthquake on the San Andreas fault in California will cause a catastrophic tsunami affecting residents of S

an Francisco.
a) true
b) false

1 answer:

ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago

6 0

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.

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length L and mass M swings with period T. If both L and M are doubled, what is t

vampirchik [111]

The new period is D) √2 T

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy and Period of Simple Pendulum formula as follows:

$\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}$

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

$\texttt{ }$

$\boxed{T = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }}$

where:

<em>T = period of simple pendulum ( s )</em>

<em>L = length of pendulum ( m )</em>

<em>g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

initial length of pendulum = L₁ = L

initial mass = M₁ = M

final length of pendulum = L₂ = 2L

final mass = M₂ = 2M

initial period = T₁ = T

<u>Asked:</u>

final period = T₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

$T_1 : T_2 = 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_1}{g} }} : 2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L_2}{g} }}$

$T_1 : T_2 = \sqrt{L_1} : \sqrt{L_2}$

$T : T_2 = \sqrt{L} : \sqrt{2L}$

$T : T_2 = 1 : \sqrt{2}$

$\boxed {T_2 = \sqrt{2}\ T}$

Superman is standing 393 m horizontally away from Lois Lane. A villain drops a rock from 4.00 m directly above Lois. If Superman

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-963.93 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.903\ s$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 393=0\times 0.0903+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.903^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{393\times 2}{0.903^2}\\\Rightarrow a=963.93\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of Superman would be -963.93 m/s² from Lois' perspective
