Why is it important to know the location of active and inactive faults in our country?

Physics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

I hope this helps.

Explanation:

It's important to know the location of an active fault in order to determine the magnitude of the expected earthquake. There is a chance than an inactive fault can become active again. It's important that we take the locations into account in order to be prepared and ready for if it occurs.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Molecules of a gas slow down and change to a liquid state.

Explanation:

  • Condensation refers to a process by which a gas changes from gaseous state to liquid state. For example, water vapor changes to from the state of being a gas to liquid state water.
  • Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when gaseous particles slow down and change into liquid state.
  • Heat energy is lost during condensation and gaseous molecules lose kinetic energy making them to slow down and thus changing to liquid state,

he atomic radii of Li and O2- ions are 0.068 and 0.140 nm, respectively. (a) Calculate the force of attraction in newtons betwee
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

a

 F =  -1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

b

F_r  =  1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

Explanation:

Generally the force of attraction between this two irons is mathematically represented as

F =  \frac{k *  [Q_{Li}  ] * [Q_{O}  ]  }{ r^2}

Here k is known as the proportionality constant with value k = 2.31  *  10^ {-28} J \cdot m

substituting -2 for Q_{O} i.e the charge on oxygen , +1 for Q_{Li} i.e the charge on Lithium and [0.140 + 0.068 ] nm= 0.208 nm =  0.208*10^{-9} for r

So

F =  \frac{ 2.31  *  10^ {-28}*  +1   * -2   }{ ( 0.208*10^{-9} )^2   }

F =  -1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

Generally the force of repulsion will be the magnitude but different direction to the force o attraction

So Force of repulsionn is

F_r  =  1.07 *10^{-8} \  N

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe
DiKsa [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h          [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V           -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .
