<span>Normal fault. Normal (extensional ) fault is a displacement of a rock as a result of rock-mass movement and occurs when the crust is stretching. Because of the stretching the thickness of the crust is reduced and the crust or horizontally extended. </span>

I need homework help

KIM [24]

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by $F=mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
$F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N$

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different: $g=3.7 m/s^2$ . The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: $F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N$

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2$

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2$

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2$

<span>6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is </span> $g=9.81 m/s^2$ <span>. The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is
</span> $F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N$ <span>

On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbo

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

$\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i$

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

$\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i$

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

In order for a space shuttle to leave Earth, it must produce a great amount of thrust. Its rocket boosters create this thrusting

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Orbit

Explanation:

The term that describes motion of the shuttle around earth is called as<em> Orbit.</em>

The orbit is defined as a regular repeating path that object takes around another.

The shuttle circles around the earth at a constant distance from earth surface is because of earth gravity and forward motion of earth.

Suppose your walking speed is 2m/s in a period of 1 s . What is your acceleration?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

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

v is the velocity

t is the time taken

From the question we have

$a = \frac{2}{1} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
