Describe how the formation of a fault can result in an earthquake

Physics

Vlada [557]4 years ago
3 0
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 />

Two forces are applied on a body. One produces a force of 480-N directly forward while the other gives a 513-N force at 32.4-deg
n200080 [17]

Answer:

F = (913.14 , 274.87 )

|F| = 953.61 direction 16.71°

Explanation:

To calculate the resultant force you take into account both x and y component of the implied forces:

\Sigma F_x=480N+513Ncos(32.4\°)=913.14N\\\\\Sigma F_y=513sin(32.4\°)=274.87N

Thus, the net force over the body is:

F=(913.14N)\hat{i}+(274.87N)\hat{j}

Next, you calculate the magnitude of the force:

F=\sqrt{(913.14N)+(274.87N)^2}=953.61N

and the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{274.14N}{913.14N})=16.71\°

At a construction site, the site manager notices that a crane takes 20 seconds to lift a 500kg steel beam up to a height of 15 m
posledela
The work done is equal to the change in potential energy which is:
P.E = mgh
P.E = 500 x 9.81 x 15
P.E = 73,575 J

Power = work / time
Power = 73,575 / 20
Power = 3,700 Watts

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:
