Earthquakes occur in the crust or upper mantle, from the earth’s surface to about 400 miles below the surface. But the very deepest earthquakes only occur at subduction zones where cold crustal rock is being pushed deep into the earth. In California, earthquakes are almost all in the top 15 miles of the crust, except in northern California along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which extends into Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.(tectonic plate boundaries)

0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary for

Paladinen [302]

Assuming the accleration applied was constant, we have

$v=v_0+at\implies v_0+20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=v_0+a(0.10\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=a(0.10\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies a=200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the force applied to the ball is given by

$F=ma=(0.45\,\mathrm{kg})\left(200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)$

$\implies F=90\,\dfrac{\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=90.\,\mathrm N$

Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

Featured snippet from the web

The elevators which are on the tail section are used to control the pitch of the plane. A pilot uses a control wheel to raise and lower the elevators, by moving it forward to back ward. Lowering the elevators makes the plane nose go down and allows the plane to go down.
