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.

A billiard ball strikes and rebounds from the cushion of a pool table perpendicularly. The mass of the ball is 0.38 kg The ball

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}$

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

$\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N$

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

The particle is an electron. the field slows down the electron without deflecting it. what is the direction of the electric fiel

sammy [17]

The particle is an electron. The field slows down the electron without deflecting it. The direction of the electric field is right.

In physics, the motion of electrically charged particles gives rise to a field called an electric field. It is measured in force per unit charge.

This field applies force on other charged particles.

Particles bearing opposite charges attract each other while particles having similar charges repel each other in the field.

If a positive charge is placed in the field then the field line moves in an outward direction and for a negative charge, the direction of the lines is inward.
