Answer:

C) Lithostatic pressure

Explanation:

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.

In the Earth the pressure due to the weight of overlying rocks is a uniform stress and is referred to as confiningstress. If stress is not equal from all directions then the stress is a differential stress. Three kinds of differential stress occur. Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation.

9.Water flows'along a horizontal pipe of cross sectional area 48cm2 which has a constriction of

Kamila [148]

Answer:

v₁ = 9 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we can use the continuity equation, as follows:

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

where,

A₁ = Cross-sectional area of the wider section = 48 cm²

A₂ = Cross-sectional area of the constriction = 12 cm²

v₁ = speed of flow in wider section = ?

v₂ = speed flow in constriction = 36 m/s

Therefore,

$(48\ cm^2)v_1 = (12\ cm^2)(36\ m/s)\\\\v_1 = \frac{(12\ cm^2)(36\ m/s)}{(48\ cm^2)} \\\\$

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{P}{m}$

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight= $\frac{12}{0.089}$

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

A cyclist is travelling at 4 metres per second for 100 metres,<br> how long does it take?

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

25 seconds!

Explanation:

I just had to find what number to multiply 4 to get 100 and it was 25

4x25=100

Or you could do the easier way by dividing 100 by 4 which has the same answer: 25

100÷4=25
