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

Physics
1 answer:
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."

Which statements in dalton's original atomic theory are now considered to be incorrect? describe how modern atomic theory differ
Illusion [34]
Incorrect statement in Dalton's original atomic theory are that atoms are indestructible and statement that all atoms of one element are same mass and characteristics.
Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little bit updated but original Daltons's theory is still remains. By modern atomic theory atoms can be destructed by nuclear reaction, but no with chemical reaction. Also there are different kinds of atoms in one element, their mass can be different.

Answer:

The mass of the block, M =T/(3a +g)  Kg

Explanation:

Given,

The upward acceleration of the block a = 3a

The constant force acting on the block, F₀ = Ma = 3Ma

The mass of the block, M = ?

In an Atwood's machine, the upward force of the block is given by the relation

                                     Ma = T - Mg

                                      M x 3a = T - Ma    

                                    3Ma + Mg = T

                                       M = T/(3a +g)  Kg

Where 'T' is the tension of the string.

Hence, the mass of the block in Atwood's machine is, M = T/(3a +g)  Kg

What can one say for sure about element #99, Einsteinium (Es))? a) There's no such element! b) It is an alkali metal. c) It is r
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Einsteinium is an element of the periodic table grouped in the Actinide series, with atomic number 99. They are dense element and highly electro-positive. <u>They are highly radioactive</u>, i.e the atoms within the element are unstable and constantly decay until they reach a stable environment. It has 99 number of electrons and protons, 153 number of neutrons.

Due to its high radioactivity, they are health hazardous and can used in making nuclear weapons but their uses are very limited and unknown.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

A hand pump is being used to inflate a bicycle tire that has a gauge pressure of 59.0 lb/in2. If the pump is a cylinder of lengt
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

∴The air cannot be made to flow in with the given pump at the given conditions.

Explanation:

Given:

  • gauge pressure of bicycle tyre, P_g=59\ lb.in^{-2}
  • length of cylinder of the pump, l=17.4\ in
  • area of the the cylinder of the pump, a= 3\ in^2
  • we have the density of air at STP, \rho=4.4256\times 10^{-5}\ lb.in^{-2}

The piston must be pushed more than the pressure inside the tyre:

P_g=\rho\times V\div a

59=4.4256\times 10^{-5}\times a\times h\div a

h=13.33\times 10^5\ in

∴The air cannot be made to flow in with the given pump at the given conditions.
