A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging

wall. What type of fault is this? Explain how you know.

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>
  • Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass.
  • The kilogram is the SI unit of mass (kg). In science and technology, a body's weight in a given reference frame is the force that causes it to accelerate at a rate equal to the local acceleration of free fall in that frame.
  • For instance, a kilogram mass weighs around 2.2 pounds at the surface of the planet. However, the same kilogram mass would weigh just about 0.8 pounds on Mars and about 5.5 pounds on Jupiter.
  • An object's mass is a crucial indicator of how much stuff it contains. Weight is a measurement of an object's gravitational pull. It is influenced by the object's location in addition to its mass. As a result, weight is a measurement of force.

The length of the semi-major axis is calculated as follows:

where, $G=6.67 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{kgs}$

$M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}=$mass of sur

$m=1.20 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~kg}$ - a mass of the comet

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore \quad \text { At aphelion, } r &=50 \times U \\&=50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~m} . \\U=-\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times \mathrm{m} 1.99 \times 10^{30} \times 1.20 \times 10^{10}}{50 \times 1.496 \times 10^{11}} \\U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

$$U=-2.13 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{~J} .\end{aligned}$$

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg , have the same momentum as a 1600 kg car traveling at
noname [10]
Given:\\m_b=100kg\\m_c=1600kg\\v_c=5.2 \frac{m}{s} \\p_b=p_c\\\\Find:\\v_b=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_b=p_c\\\\p=mv\\\\m_bv_b=m_cv_c\Rightarrow v_b= \frac{m_cv_c}{m_b} \\\\v_b= \frac{1600kg\cdot5.2 \frac{m}{s}  }{100kg} =83.2 \frac{m}{s}

As the hot gas from a space shuttle is released downward, what does this cause to happen?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

  • This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
  • The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
  • Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.
