What causes earthquakes,tsunami, and volcanic eruptions to happen certain places and not others

1 answer:

5 0

These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most important thing to remember about parabolic motion in physics is that when an object reaches its max height, the velocity right there at the highest point is 0. Use this one-dimensional motion equation to solve this problem:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = v₀ + (-9.8)(4.0) **I put in 4.0 for time so we have more than just 1 sig fig here**

0 = v₀ - 39 and

-v₀ = -39 so

v₀ = 39 m/s

(6) Wagon B is at rest so it has no momentum at the start. If v is the velocity of the wagons locked together, then

(140 kg) (15 m/s) = (140 kg + 200 kg) v

==> v ≈ 6.2 m/s

(7) False. If you double the time it takes to perform the same amount of work, then you halve the power output:

E / (2t ) = 1/2 × E/t = 1/2 P

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

E=(σ/ε0)

As noted by Dirac the field is the same no matter how far you are from the sheet. When your charge covers a conducting plane, as in your case, the field is, D/eo ,(D is charge density). Because the field inside the conductor (no matter how thin) is zero. The only time the field is, D/2eo, is when you have just a sheet of charge, by itself, not on a conducting plane."

A car is moving at a initial velocity of 20 meters per second accelerates at a rate of 1.5 meters per second squared for 4 secon

Brrunno [24]

Answered using calculus.
Antidifferentiated the acceleration to get velocity. Added variable c as we do not know if there was an extra number there yet.
Knowing that when time is 0, the velocity is 20, we can substitute those numbers into the equation and find that c = 20.
Now we have full velocity equation: v = 1.5t + 20
Now we substitute 4 into t to find out the velocity after 4 seconds. This gives us the final answer of 26m/s
