The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.

A single point charge q is located at the center of both an imaginary cube and an imaginary sphere. How does the electric flux t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric flux is defined as the flow of electric field intensity through a given surface.

Mathematically:

\phi=E.A.cos\ \theta

where:

E = electric field

A = area

θ = angle between the area vector and the electric field

Electric flux through the surface of a sphere will be uniform throughout the surface area due to a charge at the center of the sphere. The distance of the surface from the center is always at a constant distance of radius of the sphere.

Electric flux through the surface of a cube will be varying as the surface area is at a varying distance from the center of the cube. The distance of the surface from the center is not at a uniform distance from the center of the cube and so the projection of solid angle changes.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question relates to time of flight of a projectile .

Time of flight = 2 u sinθ / g

u is speed of projectile , θ is angle of projectile

= 2 x 48.5 sin42 / 9.8

= 6.6 seconds  .

Maximum height attained

= u² sin²θ / g

= 48.5² sin²42 / 9.8

= 107.47 m .

A proton traveling at 17.6° with respect to the direction of a magnetic field of strength 3.28 mT experiences a magnetic force o
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) The proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) The kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.  

Explanation:

a) The proton's speed can be calculated with the Lorentz force equation:

F = qv \times B = qvBsin(\theta)     (1)          

Where:

F: is the force = 9.14x10⁻¹⁷ N

q: is the charge of the particle (proton) = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ C

v: is the proton's speed =?

B: is the magnetic field = 3.28 mT

θ: is the angle between the proton's speed and the magnetic field = 17.6°

By solving equation (1) for v we have:

v = \frac{F}{qBsin(\theta)} = \frac{9.14 \cdot 10^{-17} N}{1.602\cdot 10^{-19} C*3.28 \cdot 10^{-3} T*sin(17.6)} = 5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

Hence, the proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) Its kinetic energy (K) is given by:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m: is the mass of the proton = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 2.76 \cdot 10^{-16} J*\frac{1 eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19} J} = 1723 eV  

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.

I hope it helps you!
