How do earthquakes form?

Physics
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When the two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.

А A pool of water of refractive index
babymother [125]

Answer:

Apparent depth = 45 cm

Explanation:

The refractive index of water in a pool, n = 4/3

Real depth, d = 60 cm

We need to find its apparent  depth when viewed vertically through  air.​ The ratio of real depth to the apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the material. Let the apparent depth is d'. So,

n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{4}{3}}\\\\d'=45\ cm

So, the apparent depth is 45 cm.

a swimmer experiences a total (absolute) pressure of 117,500 pa in a pool. how far below the surface are they located?
marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the pressure can be calculated in the following way:

p = d·g·h

with d being the density of the water, g the gravitational acceleration and h the depth.

Also d of the water = 1000 kg/m^3 circa and g = 9.8 m/s^2 circa

117,500 Pa = 1000kg/m³ · 9.8m/s² · h

Therefore h = 11,9 m
