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.

Hi, time is independent variable. It's stands alone and isn't change by anything.
Temperature is dependant variable (depends on time)

A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 28.7

aleksandrvk [35]

(a) 1440.5 Hz

The general formula for the Doppler effect is

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

where

f is the original frequency

f is the apparent frequency

$v$ is the velocity of the wave

$v_r$ is the velocity of the receiver (positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the receiver, negative otherwise)

Here we have

f = 1110 Hz

v = 334 m/s

In the reflector frame (= on surface B), we have also

$v_s = v_A = -28.7 m/s$ (surface A is the source, which is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +62.2 m/s$ (surface B is the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the reflector frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+62.2 m/s}{334 m/s-28.7 m/s})1110 Hz=1440.5 Hz$

(b) 0.232 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

In the reflector frame,

f = 1440.5 Hz

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1440.5 Hz}=0.232 m$

(c) 1481.2 Hz

Again, we can use the same formula

$f'=(\frac{v+v_r}{v+v_s})f$

In the source frame (= on surface A), we have

$v_s = v_B = -62.2 m/s$ (surface B is now the source, since it reflects the wave, and it is moving towards the receiver)

$v_r = +28.7 m/s$ (surface A is now the receiver, which is moving towards the source)

So, the frequency observed in the source frame is

$f'=(\frac{334 m/s+28.7 m/s}{334 m/s-62.2 m/s})1110 Hz=1481.2 Hz$

(d) 0.225 m

The wavelength of the wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where in this case we have

v = 334 m/s

f = 1481.2 Hz is the apparent in the source frame

So the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{334 m/s}{1481.2 Hz}=0.225 m$

A geneticist looks through a microscope to determine the phenotype of a fruit fly. The microscope is set to an overall magnifica

grin007 [14]

Answer:

$f_e = 1.51 cm$

Explanation:

given.

magnification(m) = 400 x

focal length (f_0)= 0.6 cm

distance between eyepiece and lens (L)= 16 cm

Near point (N) = 25 cm

focal length of the eyepiece (f_e)= ?

using equation

$m = -\dfrac{L-f_e}{f_o}.\dfrac{N}{f_e}$

$400 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{0.6}.\dfrac{25}{f_e}$

$9.6 = \dfrac{16-f_e}{f_e}$

$9.6f_e = 16-f_e$

$10.6 f_e = 16$

$f_e = 1.51 cm$

Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

If no one can see it because the lights were out. Did the flea really jump?

What do you want here?

Max height (2.2sin21)²/ 2(9.8) = 3.2 cm

Time of flight 2(2.2sin21)/ (9.8) = 0.16 s

distance of flight (2.2cos21)(0.16) = 33 cm
