How does the movement of tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0
The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes when two plates that are in contact with each other move in opposite directions and release built-up stress.<span>For example, one plate may move north, while the other may move south. Stress can build up to a significant amount while the plates are held stationary, but trying to move, which can then be released as an earthquake</span>

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley<br> "Electricty is the soul of universe"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>

A student throws a baseball horizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters above the level ground. Approximately ho
Delicious77 [7]
First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.0 m/s2 for 10 m, starting from rest. a. How much work does gravity do on the elevator
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance  

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10  

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J  

Work done by cable = PE +KE  

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J  

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

=
