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

Physics
1 answer:
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 />

3 small identical balls have charges -3×10^-12 ,8×10^-12 and 4×10^-12 find the charge​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

  3×10^-12 C  

Explanation:

The total of the three charges is ...

   (-3 +8 +4)×10^-12 C = 9×10^-12 C

Assuming the charge is equally distributed between the balls when they are brought in contact, the charge on each ball will be ...

  (9/3)×10^-12 C = 3×10^-12 C

Trey races his bicycle for 192m. A wheel of his bicycle turns 48 times as the bicycle travels this distance. What is the diamete
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1.27 m

Explanation:

Distance = 192 m

number of rotations = 48

Distance traveled in one rotation = 2 x π x r

Where, r be the radius of wheel.

so, distance traveled in 48 rotations = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

It is equal to the distance traveled.

192 = 48 x 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 0.637 m

diameter of wheel = 2 x radius of wheel = 2 x 0.637 = 1.27 m

What is the difference between compound, element and mixture?
defon
Compound; consists of atoms of two or more different elements bound together,can be broken down into a simpler type of matter (elements) by chemical means (but not by physical means) has properties that are different from its component elements, and always contains the same ratio of its component atoms.Mixtures; Note that a mixture:consists of two or more different elements and/or compounds physically intermingled, can be separated into its components by physical means, and often retains many of the properties of its components.
