The distribution of earthquake across the globe provides the primary indicator of boundaries between all tectonic plates. Earthquakes have a definite distribution pattern. There are three major belts in the world which are frequented by earthquakes of varying intensities and these belts are as under the circus pacific belt, mid Atlantic belt and mid continental belt.

A boy wants to measure the depth of a well. When he drops a stone from the top of the well, he hears the sound made by the stone
Alexus [3.1K]

To solve the problem we apply the motion kinematic equations as well as the techniques used to solve second order polynomial equations.

By definition we know that the height of a body is given by the function

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_i*t+h-0

As there is no initial speed or a distance previously traveled, the equation is:

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where,

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

h= Height

Rearranging to find the time we have,

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Then, the sound of the splash take a time \frac{h}{v} to travel back, therefore, in time, it is necessary to adhere the new term, which converts the final time into:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\frac{h}{v}

If we make a similarity to the polynomial equation of the second degree where x = \sqrt {h}> 0 we have to:

\frac{1}{v} x^2 +\sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}x-t = 0

Solving to find x (which is equivalent to x ^ 2) we have to:

x = \pm 3.253

Since the positive distance is what allows us to find the actual distance traveled we have finally to

h = x^2 = 10.58 m

The correct answer is B.

What is the nucleon A number of carbon-14?Express your answer as aninteger.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

14

Explanation:

The total no of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is called mass number, nucleon number or atomic mass number. It is denoted by A.

In this problem, we need to find the nucleon number of carbon-14 i.e. mass number of carbon -14. 14 with carbon shows its mass number.

Hence, the nucleon no of carbon-14 is 14.

Let G be the garvitational constant and R be the radius of earth. If the radius of the earth becomes half, the new value of grav
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

G = 1.670 × 10^{-11} m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}

Explanation:

From Newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = \frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where F is the force of attraction, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, R is the radius of the earth.

From Newton's second law of motion,

F = mg

mg = \frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

g = \frac{GM}{R^{2} }

⇒    G = \frac{gR^{2} }{M}

If the radius of the earth becomes half,

R = \frac{R}{2}, then;

G = \frac{gR^{2} }{4M}

Given that: g = 9.8 m/s^{2}, radius of the earth is 6371000 m, mass of the earth is 5.972 × 10^{24}kg, then;

G   = \frac{9.8*(6371000)^{2} }{4*5.972*10^{24} }

   = 1.670 × 10^{-11} m^{3}kg^{-1}s^{-2}
