Aunque la interacción entre Placas Tectónicas es la principal causa de los sismos no es la única. Cualquier proceso que pueda lograr grandes concentraciones de energía en las rocas puede generar sismos cuyo tamaño dependerá, entre otros factores, de qué tan grande sea la zona de concentración del esfuerzo. Las causas más generales se pueden enumeran según su orden de importancia en:

TECTÓNICA: son los sismos que se originan por el desplazamiento de las placas tectónicas que conforman la corteza, afectan grandes extensiones y es la causa que más genera sismos.

VOLCÁNICA: es poco frecuente; cuando la erupción es violenta genera grandes sacudidas que afectan sobre todo a los lugares cercanos, pero a pesar de ello su campo de acción es reducido en comparación con los de origen tectónico.

HUNDIMIENTO: cuando al interior de la corteza se ha producido la acción erosiva de las aguas subterráneas, va dejando un vacío, el cual termina por ceder ante el peso de la parte superior. Es esta caída que genera vibraciones conocidas como sismos. Su ocurrencia es poco frecuente y de poca extensión.

DESLIZAMIENTOS: el propio peso de las montañas es una fuerza enorme que tiende a aplanarlas y que puede producir sismos al ocasionar deslizamientos a lo largo de fallas, pero generalmente no son de gran magnitud.

EXPLOSIONES ATÓMICAS: realizadas por el ser humano y que al parecer tienen una relación con los movimientos sísmicos.

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.

Use the impulse-momentum theorem.

Ft = mv

Substitute your known values:

(120kg)(20m/s) = F(1.5)&#10;&#10;F= 1600N

Hope this helps!
