Answer:

The area of the fault where the sudden rupture takes place is called the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake

A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff above the ground level with initial velocity of at an angle with the horizontal. (
Xelga [282]

Answer:

t = √2y/g

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise

a) The vertical velocity in the initial instants (v_{oy} = 0) zero, so let's use the equation

     y =v_{oy} t -1/2 g t²

     y= - ½ g t²

     t = √2y/g

b) Let's use this time and the horizontal displacement equation, because the constant horizontal velocity

     x = vox t

     x = v₀ₓ √2y/g

c) Speeds before touching the ground

     vₓ = vox = constant

     v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

     v_{y} = 0 - g √2y/g

    v_{y}  = - √2gy

    tan θ = Vy / vx

    θ = tan⁻¹ (vy / vx)

    θ = tan⁻¹ (√2gy / vox)

d) The projectile is higher than the cliff because it is a horizontal launch

Maximum torque.
T=F.r
r is measured from point of turning, which is the hinge. r is maximum when the handle is at the free edge.

A 15.0 Kg object is moved from a height of 7.00 m above thefloor to a height of 13.0 m above the floor. What is the change ingra
Pie

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to potential gravitational energy. This is defined as the product between mass, acceleration and change in height and can be expressed as,

\Delta PE = mg \Delta h

Here,

m = Mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

\Delta h = Height

Replacing with our values we have,

\Delta PE = (15kg)(9.81m/s^2)(13m-7m)

\Delta PE = 882.9J \approx 883J

Therefore the change in gravitational potential energy is 883J.
