A geologic event causes changes to the physical makeup of a particular place and occurs slowly.
Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.
Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.
Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.
gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as
PE = mgh
where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to
gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .
as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.
as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant
KE + PE = Total energy
so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
Answer: The earth is a noisy place. Seismometers, which measure ground movements to detect earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and manmade explosives, are constantly recording smaller vibrations caused by ocean waves, rushing rivers, and industrial activity.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) k = 2231.40 N/m
b) v = 0.491 m/s
Explanation:
Let k be the spring force constant , x be the compression displacement of the spring and v be the speed of the box.
when the box encounters the spring, all the energy of the box is kinetic energy:
the energy relationship between the box and the spring is given by:
1/2(m)×(v^2) = 1/2(k)×(x^2)
(m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)
a) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)
k = [(m)×(v^2)]/(x^2)
k = [(3)×((1.8)^2)]/((6.6×10^-2)^2)
k = 2231.40 N/m
Therefore, the force spring constant is 2231.40 N/m
b) (m)×(v^2) = (k)×(x^2)
v^2 = [(k)(x^2)]/m
v = \sqrt{ [(k)(x^2)]/m}
v = \sqrt{ [(2231.40)((1.8×10^-2)^2)]/(3)}
= 0.491 m/s
