they happen around the edge of the plates in the earth.

they are moving in different directions so occasionally they rub together causing a earthquake.

hope this helps

A calorimeter is used to determine the specific heat capacity of a test metal. If the specific heat capacity of water is known,

denis23 [38]

Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, $Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})$

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, $Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})$

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

$mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})$

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

$m_{w}$ is the mass of the water

$c_{w}$ is specific heat capacity of water

$t_{2w}$ is the final temperature of water

$t_{1w}$ is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Ax = 44.4 m and Ay = 25.1 m<br> Find the magnitude of the<br> vector.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the vector A is <u>51 m.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

The horizontal component of a vector A is given as:

$A_x=44.4\ m$

The vertical component of a vector A is given as:

$A_y=25.1\ m$

Now, we know that, a vector A can be resolved into two mutually perpendicular components; one along the x axis and the other along the y axis. The magnitude of the vector A can be written as the square root of the sum of the squares of each component.

Therefore, the magnitude of vector A is given as:

$|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{A_{x}^2+A_{y}^2}$

Now, plug in 44.4 for $A_x$ , 25.1 for $A_y$ and solve for the magnitude of A. This gives,

$|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{(44.4)^2+(25.1)^2}\\|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{1971.36+630.01}\\|\overrightarrow A|=\sqrt{2601.37}\\|\overrightarrow A|=51\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the vector A is 51 m.

A student measures her height with a meter stick and finds that she is about 1.5 m tall. How can she measure her height with gre

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

She should use a measuring tape

Explanation:

A student measures her height with a meter stick and gets a result of 1.5 m tall. This may not be as accurate as possible due to the fact that a meter stick has a maximum length of 1m which means an error could have occurred when she had to mark a point and then measure the remaining 0.5m.

She can however measure her height with greater accuracy and precision with a meter tape which has a wider measurement range and there won’t be any need to measure twice.
