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

Physics
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 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 />

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ????0 . Find the minimu
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Threshold frequency = 4.17 x 10¹⁴ Hz .

minimum energy required = hν where h is plank's constant and ν is frequency .

E = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 4.17 x 10¹⁴

= 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

wavelength of radiation falling = 245 x 10⁻⁹ m

Energy of this radiation = hc / λ

c is velocity of light and  λ  is wavelength of radiation .

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 245 x 10⁻⁹

= .08081 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰ J

kinetic energy of electrons ejected = energy of falling radiation - threshold energy

= 80.81 x 10⁻²⁰  - 27.52 x 10⁻²⁰

= 53.29 x 10⁻²⁰ J .

Explain about kinetic theory​
Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.
