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 />

As gravity continues to crush the inner core, the fusion of carbon and oxygen begins. What temperature is needed for the fusion
Olin [163]

Answer:

600,000,000 degree C

Explanation:

This stage is the last stage and is refereed to as supernova. In the beginning of this stage, gravity pulls the inner core and crush it, due to which fusion of atoms starts. Carbon and Oxygen fuse together and the temperature is about of 600,000,000 degree C.

The most heavier atom that can be formed out of this fusion is the iron. The moment all the atoms becomes of iron, no further fusion is possible hence that body emits radiation of high intensity and collapse causing a big supernova.

We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is

F_D = c_D A \frac{\rho V^2}{2}

Where,

F_D = Drag Force

c_D = Drag coefficient

A = Area

\rho= Density

V = Velocity

Our values are given by,

c_D = 0.5 (That is proper of a cone-shape)

A = 9m^2

\rho = 1.2Kg/m^3

V = 6.5m/s

Part A ) Replacing our values,

F_D = 0.5*9*\frac{1.2*6.5^2}{2}

F_D = 114.075N

Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,

\tau = F*d

\tau = (114.075N)(7)

\tau = 798.525N.m
