Answer:

a) V1 = 4V - V2/3 and V2 = 4V - 3V1

b) Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

Explanation:

Let V represent volume of the box containing the two compartments

V1 represents compartment of the left compartment

V2 represents compartment of the right compartment

Momentum of the compartments before impact:

3000V1 + 1000V2

Momentum of the compartments after impact:

V(3000 + 1000) = 4000V

a) To obtain the volume of each compartment, that is, V1 and V2, we say:

Momentum before impact = Momentum after impact

3000V1 + 1000V2 = 4000V

∴ V1 = 4000V - 1000V2/3000 = 4V - V2/3

Also, V2 = 4000V - 3000V1/1000 = 4V - 3V1

b) Change in entropy,Δe = 4000V1 - 1000V2

By substituting the V1 and V2, we have:

4000(4V - V2)/3 - 1000(4V - 3V1)

16000V - 4000V2/3 - 4000V + 3000V1

16000V - 4000V2 - 12000V + 9000V1

∴ Δe = 4000V - 4000V2 + 9000V1

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

$sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}$

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

$\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}$

That is the rate of change of $\theta$ .

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

$\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}$

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.

Answer: A

Explanation:Earthquakes occur on faults - strike-slip earthquakes occur on strike-slip faults, normal earthquakes occur on normal faults, and thrust earthquakes occur on thrust or reverse faults. When an earthquake occurs on one of these faults, the rock on one side of the fault slips with respect to the other.
