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.

When there is no air resistance, objects of different masses (1 points)
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Fall at equal acceleration with similar displacements.

Explanation:

  • Objects under free fall with no air resistance, are falling under the sole influence of gravity. So, under that conditions, objects with different masses  will fall with the same rate of acceleration

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really
sergij07 [2.7K]
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you let go of the ballon, you are letting the force out but the force also pushes the balloon back.

A student claims that when two bodies not initially in thermal equilibrium are placed in contact, the rise in temperature of the
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

There is a difference between energy, called heat in this case, and temperature, which is a measure of the amount of heat contained in a material and is dependent on the material properties.

Temperature difference is what causes heat to move from one body to another.

Two objects at different temperatures placed in contact with one another will cause heat to move from the warmer body to the colder body until the temperature difference is eliminated.

The amount of heat leaving the warmer body will exactly equal the amount of heat absorbed by the cooler body. (assuming isolated system of two bodies) The temperature change within each of those bodies could be vastly different.

Example would be a 2 mm bead of molten lead dropped into a liter glass of tap water. The lead may cool several hundred °C as it solidifies while the water temperature would increase less than 1 °C
