Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle, from the earth’s surface to about 400 miles below the surface. But the very deepest earthquakes only occur at subduction zones where cold crustal rock is being pushed deep into the earth. In California, earthquakes are almost all in the top 15 miles of the crust, except in northern California along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which extends into Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.(tectonic plate boundaries)

The electric field in a particular thundercloud is 3.8 x 105 N/C. What is the acceleration (in m/s2) of an electron in this fiel
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Answer:

6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 3.8 x 10^5 N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the electron.

The force due to electric field on electron is

F = q E

where q be the charge of electron and E be the electric field

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.8 x 10^5

F = 6.08 x 10^-14 N

According to Newton's second law

Force  = mass x acceleration

6.08 x 10^-14 = 9.1 x 10^-31 x a

a = 6.68 x 10^16 m/s^2

In which of the following situations would convection currents most likely occur?
poizon [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.

What horizontally-applied force will accelerate a crate of mass 400 kg at 1 meter per second per second across a factory floor a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Explanation:

<em>Force:</em> Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. the S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

Fh = Fr + ma......... Equation 1

Where Fh = horizontally applied force, Fr = friction force, m = mass of the crate, a = acceleration of the crate.

<em>Given: m = 400 kg, a = 1 m/s²</em>

Fr = 1/2 W, W = mg  ⇒W = 400×9.8 = 3920 N

∴Fr = 1/2(3920), Fr = 1960 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

Fh = 1960 + 400×1

Fh = 1960 + 400

Fh = 2360 N

Therefore the horizontally applied force = 2360 N

Why are the lunar mountains smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks (as they were almost always depicted in sci
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Lunar mountains are smoothly rounded rather than having sharp, pointed peaks because the lunar moons are formed because of the impact of asteroids and comets on its surface whereas the Earth mountains are formed because of the surface activity of volcanos, collision of land masses and activity of plate tectonics that is why they have sharp and pointed tops.
