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 boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s$

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft$

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s$

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft$

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches

Which of the following would be most likely to contribute to molecules

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

B. Containing charged regions

Explanation:

The term i.e. intermolecular forces would be used to explain the attraction forces. Here the interaction would be done between molecules etc that acts between the acts & the other types of particles i.e. neighboring like atoms or ions

So in the given case, the option b would be contributed to the molecules that have intermolecular forces

hence, the option b is correct

Waves move fastest in

JulijaS [17]

Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.

Answer:

Potential

Explanation:

The water in the bathtub has more potential energy than that in the tea cup because it has a greater number of water molecules.

Mass is a parameter that is very instrumental in determining potential energy.

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of that body.

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Water in the tub will have more mass and contain a greater number of water molecules there in.

Since potential energy is directly proportional to mass, then, it will have a greater amount of potential energy.

In some cases fixture wires may be used for

zalisa [80]

You can use fixture wires: For installation in luminaires where they are enclosed and protected and not subject to bending and twisting and also can be used to connect luminaires to their branch circuit conductors.

<h3>What are some uses of fixture wires?</h3>

Fixture wires are flexible conductors that are used for wiring fixtures and control circuits. There are some special uses and requirements for fixture wires and no fixture can be smaller than 18 AWG

In modern fixtures, neutral wire is white and the hot wire is red or black. In some types of fixtures, both wires will be of the same color.
