Answer:

<h3><u><em>Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. ... When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.</em></u></h3>

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

Explanation:

We could use conversation of energy. Total distance the stone will cover will be

$h=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}$

the Final velocity will be

$v=gt\\v=g\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\ v=\sqrt{2gh}$

A force acts on a 9.90 kg mobile object that moves from an initial position of to a final position of in 5.40 s. Find (a) the wo

horrorfan [7]

Given that,

Mass of object = 9.90 kg

Time =5.40 s

Suppose the force is (2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k) N, initial position is (2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k) m and final position is (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k) m.

We need to calculate the displacement

Using formula of displacement

$s=r_{2}-r_{1}$

Where, $r_{1}$ = initial position

$r_{2}$ = final position

Put the value into the formula

$s= (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)-(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)$

$s= -6.80i+6.20j-0.1k$

(a). We need to calculate the work done on the object

Using formula of work done

$W=F\cdot s$

Put the value into the formula

$W=(2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k)\cdot (-6.80i+6.20j-0.1k)$

$W=-13.6+55.8-0.53$

$W=41.67\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the average power due to the force during that interval

Using formula of power

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Where, P = power

W = work

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$P=\dfrac{41.67}{5.40}$

$P=7.71\ Watt$

(c). We need to calculate the angle between vectors

Using formula of angle

$\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{r_{1}r_{2}}{|r_{1}||r_{2}|})$

Put the value into the formula

$\theta=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{(-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)\cdot(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)}{7.54\times6.778})$

$\theta=79.7^{\circ}$

Hence, (a). The work done on the object by the force in the 5.40 s interval is 41.67 J.

(b). The average power due to the force during that interval is 7.71 Watt.

(c). The angle between vectors is 79.7°
