What type of energy dose an earthquake transfer

1 answer:

7 0

Earthquakes release energy in several forms: The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake. Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface. Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the earthquake.

A net force of 15 N is applied to a cart with a mass of 2.1 kg. a. What is the acceleration of the cart? b. How long will it tak

Gennadij [26K]

The first question's answer is :
If, F=ma
Then, 15N= 2.1kg (a)
15/2.1=a
7.14=a
Therefore, acceleration = 7.14m/s^2

sorry I am not sure about the second question :-(

Elena (60.0 kg) and Madison (65.0 kg) are ice-skating at the Rockefeller ice rink in New Yok city. Their friend Tanner sees Elen

Bas_tet [7]

1. +72.0 kg m/s

The momentum of an object is given by:

p = mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

Taking "to the right" as positive direction, for Elena we have

m = 60.0 kg is the mass

v = +1.20 m/s is the velocity

So, Elena's momentum is

$p_e=(60.0 kg)(+1.20 m/s)=+72.0 kg m/s$

2. -162.5 kg m/s

Here Madison is moving in the opposite direction of Elena (to the left), so her velocity is

v = -2.50 m/s

while her mass is

m = 65.0 kg

Therefore, her momentum is

$p_m= (65.0 kg)(-2.50 m/s)=-162.5 kg m/s$

3. -90.5 kg m/s

The total momentum of Elena and Madison is equal to the algebraic sum of their momenta; taking into account the correct signs, we have:

$p=p_e + p_m = +72.0 kg m/s - 162.5 kg m/s =-90.5 kg m/s$

4. 0.72 m/s to the left

We can find the final speed of Elena and Madison by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the final momentum must be equal to the initial momentum (before the collision).

The initial momentum is the one calculated at the previous step:

$p_i = -90.5 kg m/s$
