<u>Answer:</u>

1A, 2E, 3C, 4F, 5B, 6D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Tilt meter is a an equipment used to measure very small changes from vertical level. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement A.

Richter Scale is a scale of measurement of earthquake strength, So it is a correct match for blank space in statement E.

Mercalli Intensity Scale measures effect of an earthquake, like damage caused.So it is a correct match for blank space in statement C.

Seismograph is earthquake wave measuring instrument. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement F.

Correlation Spectrometer (C.O.S.P.E.C.) is used to measure sulfur dioxide content in smoke. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement B.

Moment Magnitude Scale is an earthquake measuring scale for great earthquakes. So it is a correct match for blank space in statement D.

Which equation is used to calculate the magnetic force on a charge moving in a magnetic field?

JulijaS [17]

The force is perpendicular to the plane formed by v and B. Since the force is zero if v is parallel to B, charged particles often follow magnetic field lines rather than cross them.

B) F = |q|vBsin

You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity $=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s$

velocity after 5 s is $30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s$

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2$

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

$0=31.29-3.576\times t$

$t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s$

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s$

s=136.89 m

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.
