How can a better understanding of friction help predict geological events, like earthquakes?

Physics

ANTONII [103]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Friction plays a key role in how ruptures unzip faults in the earth's crust," says Vito Rubino, research scientist at Caltech's Division of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS). "Assumptions about dynamic friction affect a wide range of earthquake science predictions, including how fast ruptures will occur, the nature of ground shaking, and residual stress levels on faults. Yet the precise nature of dynamic friction remains one of the biggest unknowns in earthquake science."

An Olympic runner completes the 200-meter sprint in 23 seconds. What is the runner’s average speed? (Round your answer to the
Amanda [17]

The average speed of the runner is 8.7m/s.

Therefore, Option C) 8.7m/s is the correct answer.

Given the data in the question;

Distance covered; d = 200m

Time taken; t = 23s

Average speed; s = \ ?

Speed is the rate at which an object covers a certain distance. It is expressed as:

s = \frac{d}{t}

Where s is speed, d is distance and t is time taken.

We substitute our given distance into the equation

s = \frac{200m}{23s} \\\\s = 8.6956m/s\\\\s = 8.7m/s

The average speed of the runner is 8.7m/s

Therefore, Option C) 8.7m/s is the correct answer.

8. A 30-kg box is sliding down a frictionless plane that is sloped at 24º. Assuming the object starts at rest,
Katena32 [7]

The net force on the box parallel to the plane is

∑ F[para] = mg sin(24°) = ma

where mg is the weight of the box, so mg sin(24°) is the magnitude of the component of its weight acting parallel to the surface, and a is the box's acceleration.

Solve for a :

g sin(24°) = a ≈ 3.99 m/s²

The box starts at rest, so after 7.0 s it attains a speed of

(3.99 m/s²) (7.0 s) ≈ 28 m/s

RSB [31]

Answer:

Ethnomethodology theory

Explanation:

Take note of the fact that we are told Kevin worries that the police will stop and question him even though he has not done anything wrong.

This statement shows us that Kevin already understood his society from past experiences, and thus he tries to avoid social interactions with particular member of his society (the police) who may be show discrimination towards him.
