Q2: Think and Write a sentence that uses the terms fault and elastic rebound to describe an

Physics
1 answer:
elena-s [515]3 years ago

Explanation:

When rocks continues to grind against another forcefully, they reach a point where they exceed their elastic limit forcing them into an elastic rebound resulting into a fault and generation of a sudden movement in form of an earthquake.

The elastic rebound theory was proposed by Henry Reid to explain the occurrence of the San Francisco earthquake in 1906.

  • He developed the elastic rebound theory where stressed rocks release energy after snap and break.
  • Such rocks must have accumulated enough stress and the elastic limit exceed.
  • The sudden release of energy causes earthquake and the process by which the deformed rocks snaps is the elastic rebound.
  • The evidence of this is usually seen in the formation of faults.

Does heating a cup of water allow it to dissolve more sugar? Temperature of the water is measured in degrees Centigrade. Amount
mixas84 [53]

Yes heating water allows it to dissolve more Sugars because the molecular distance increases and this distance can be covered by more sugar. In the given question, The independent variable would be the temperature of water.

Since to whatever temperature the water boils at the boiling temperature of  does not change remains hundred degree. Rest all the variables can vary the weight of the amount of sugar with the variable in the temperature of Boiling of water to remain constant.

In 8.5 s a fisherman winds 2.4 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation)
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

9.412 rad/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position.

V = x/t

Where x is the distance in m

= 2.4 m

t is time taken in s

= 8.5 s

V = 2.4/8.5

= 0.2824 m/s.

Equating linear velocity and angular velocity,

V = ω*r

Where,

ω Is the angular speed in rad/s

r is the radius of the circle in m

= 3 cm

= 3cm * 1m/100 cm = 0.03 m

ω = V/r

= 0.2824/0.03

= 9.412 rad/s.

Two identical parallel plate capacitors A and B connected to a battery of V volts w/ the switch S closed. The switch is now open
Basile [38]
The electrostatic energy stored in a capacitor with capacitance C_0, with a voltage difference V applied to it, and without dielectric, is given by
U_0 =  \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2
Now let's assume we fill the space between the two plates of the capacitor with a dielectric with constant k. The new capacitance of the capacitor is
C_k = k C_0
So, the energy stored now is
U_k =  \frac{1}{2}C_k V^2= \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2

Therefore, the ratio between the energies stored in the capacitor before and after the introduction of the dielectric is
\frac{U_k}{U_0}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2}kC_0 V^2 }{ \frac{1}{2} C_0 V^2}=  k
