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.

A standing wave has a frequency of 471 Hz and a wavelength of 1.9. What is the speed of the

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

c = 894.90 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of wave = 471 Hz

Wavelength of wave = 1.9 m

Speed of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

c = f×λ

c = 471 Hz × 1.9 m

Hz = s⁻¹

c = 471s⁻¹ × 1.9 m

c = 894.90 m/s

The speed of wave is 894.90 m/s.

A circular dartboard has a radius of 2 meters and a red circle in the center. Assume you hit the target at a random point. For w

Sati [7]

Answer:

1.549 m

Explanation:

Given:

The radius of the circular board, r = 2 m

The probability of hitting the red is given as 0.6

Now, this probability of hitting the red can be conclude as

0.6 = (Area of red)/ (Total area of the board)

Total area of the board = πr² = π × 2²

let the radius of the red area be R

thus, area of red circle, = πR²

on substituting the value of the area, we have

0.6 = (πR²)/ (π × 2²)

R² = 2.4

R = 1.549 m

Thus, the radius of the red circle is 1.549 m

An object is launched with an initial velocity of 50.0 m/s at a launch angle of 36.9∘ above the horizontal. part a determine x-v

ankoles [38]

Given:
v = 50.0 m/s, the launch velocity
θ = 36.9°, the launch angle above the horizontal

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and ignore air resistance.
The vertical component of the launch velocity is
Vy = (50 m/s)*sin(50°) = 30.02 m/s

The time, t, to reach maximum height is given by
(30.02 m/s) - (9.8 m/s²)*(t s) = 0
t = 3.0634 s
The time fo flight is 2*t = 6.1268 s

The horizontal velocity is
u = (50 m/s)cos(36.9°) = 39.9842 m/s
The horizontal distance traveled at time t is given in the table below.

Answer:

t, s x, m

Will mark as brailiest if correct!!!!!!!!!

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

D.diamond

Explanation:

Refraction occurs due to the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another. The light rays bend as their speed changes as they pass from one medium to another. The more the speed changes, the more the light bends and therefore more refraction occurs. When light passes from air to the diamond, the speed of light decreases more than any of the other materials listed in the given choices. So the light rays slow down the most diamond and so most refraction occurs in diamond.

A sample contains 110 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time such that the initial amount of the isotope is reduced to its half.

Thus, if we start with A grams of a given radioactive isotope, after a 1 half-life, we will have A/2 grams of the radioactive isotope.

In this case, we know that the sample has 110g of a radioactive isotope.

Then, after 1 half-life, we should have half of 110g, which is:

110g/2 = 55g

Then we should have 55 g of a radioactive isotope.

The answer that is closer to this result is option d (50 g), so that is the correct one.
