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 />

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle
ad-work [718]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The electric force due to a uniform external electric field causes a torque of magnitude 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m on an electric dipole oriented at 30° from the direction of the external field. The dipole moment of the dipole is 7.5 × 10⁻¹² C⋅m.

What is the magnitude of the external electric field?

If the two particles that make up the dipole are 2.5 mm apart, what is the magnitude of the charge on each particle?

Answer:

- the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

- the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C  ≈ 3 nC

Explanation:

Given that;

Torque = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m

dipole moment = 7.5 × 10⁻¹²

∅ = 30°

The moment T of restoring couple is;

T = PEsin∅

E = T/Psin∅

we substitute

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ N⋅m / (7.5 × 10⁻¹²) sin(30°)

E = 20.0 × 10⁻⁹ / 3.75 × 10⁻¹²

E =  5333.3 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the external electric field is 5333.3 N/C

The dipole moment is given by the expression;

p = ql

q = p / l

given that l = 2.5 mm = 0.0025 m

we substitute

q = 7.5 × 10⁻¹² / 0.0025

q = 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC

Therefore, the magnitude of the charge on each particle is 3.0 × 10⁻¹² C ≈ 3 nC
