The plates beneath the Earth's surface are moving and also colliding with one another. These collisions cause compression of the rocks, resulting in the production of stress. Faults form and spread when the rocks can be compressed no more and they "break". This breakage releases energy and the energy is felt as seismic waves in an earthquake. <span />

What is the horse power of an electric motor which can do by 1250 joule of work in 5 seconds​
Ksju [112]
1250 J in 5 sec= 250 Joule(s) per second (1250/5 0

250 Joules per second = 250 Watts ( 1J/s = 1 Watt per definition)

250 Watts output = 250/0.65 efficiency = 384 Watts input

1 Horsepower = 732 Watts

Motors 1 Horsepower and under are made in certain step sizes like

3/4 , 1/2 , 1/3, 1/4, 1/16 1/20 of a Horsepower.

3/4 Horsepower is 549 Watts

1/2 Horsepower is 366 Watts

so you need to 3/4 horsepower motor to achieve 1250 J of work in 5 seconds.

What is the gravitational force between a 45 kg person, and the Earth at 5.98 x 1024 kg, with a distance of
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

C. 441 N

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects can by calculated by the formula

= G m₁m₂ / r² , m₁ and m₂ are masses at distance r

= ( 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 45 x 5.98 x 10²⁴) / ( 6.38 x 10⁶ )²

= 44.09 x 10

= 440.9 N

= 441 N .

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) =  (Kinetic Energy +  Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = \frac{90}{100}\times10000

K.E. = 9000 J
