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.

A Chevrolet Corvette convertible can brake to a stop from a speed of 60.0 mi/h in a distance of 123 ft on a level roadway. What
Digiron [165]

Answer:

83.1946504051 m

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 60\ mph=\dfrac{60\times 1609.34}{3600}=26.82233\ m/s

s = Displacement = 123\ ft=\dfrac{123}{3.281}=37.4885705578\ m

\theta = Angle = 26^{\circ}

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{0^2-26.82233^2}{2\times 37.4885705578}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.5954230306\ m/s^2

Coefficient of friction

\mu=-\dfrac{a}{g}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{9.5954230306}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.978126710561

mg sin\theta - u mg cos\theta = ma\\\Rightarrow a=9.81(sin26-0.978126710561cos26)\\\Rightarrow a=-4.32382\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-26.82233^2}{2\times -4.32382}\\\Rightarrow s=83.1946504051\ m

The stopping distance is 83.1946504051 m
