Answer:Intensity: The severity of earthquake shaking is assessed using a descriptive scale – the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale. Magnitude: Earthquake size is a quantitative measure of the size of the earthquake at its source. The Richter Magnitude Scale measures the amount of seismic energy released by an earthquake.
Explanation:
(a)
In a velocity selector, the speed of the beam is related to the magnitude of the electric field and of the magnetic field by the formula:
where
E is the magnitude of the electric field
B is the magnitude of the magnetic field
In this problem, we have
(magnetic field)
(speed of the particles)
Solving the equation for E, we find the electric field:
(b) 3.2 kV
The relationship between electric field and potential difference between the two plates is:
where, in this problem:
is the magnitude of the electric field
is the separation between the plates
Substituting into the equation, we find the potential difference:
Answer:
Option 2
Explanation:
The theory supported by the statement : "<u><em>Mountain ranges often appear on the edges of continents.</em></u>", is that :
- <u>Mountain ranges were formed when continents collided.</u>
The law applied here is Hooke's Law which describes the force exerted by the spring with a given distance. The equation for this is F = kΔx, where F is the force in Newtons, k is the spring constant in N/m while Δx is the displacement in meters.
If you want to find work done by a spring, this can be solved by using differential equations. However, derived equations are already ready for use. The equation is
W = k[{x₂-x₁)² - (x₁-xn)²],
where
xn is the natural length
x₁ is the stretched length
x₂ is also the stretched length when stretched even further than x₁
In this case xn =x₁. So, that means that (x₁-xn) = 0 and (x₂-x₁) = 11 cm or 0.11 m.
Then, substituting the values,
2 J = k (0.11² -0²)
k = 165.29 N/m
Finally, we use the value of k to the Hooke's Law to determine the Force.
F = kΔx = (165.29 N/m)(0.11 m)
F = 18.18 Newtons
The eagle gained 882 J of gravitational potential energy.
