B. To have an earthquake there must be a fault line (where two or more tectonic plates meet) so if San Fran. has earthquakes they’re on a fault line.

Answer:

B) San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet.

Explanation:

According to the question most earthquakes occur in areas close to where tectonic plates meet. The best option that can be concluded from the earthquakes occurring in Francisco is that San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet. The close proximity of San Francisco to where tectonic plates meets will likely cause earthquake in that region.

Generally, the earth is divided into different plates. These tectonic plates might be oceanic crust or continental crust. The plates are constantly moving. The plates might be moving away from each other(divergence) , colliding with each other(convergence) or moving past each other (transform).

The area where these plates meets are usually area of potential earthquakes. This boundary are area of minor or major earth quake. Usually , aesthenospheric material are introduce to the surface through this boundary.

frosja888 [35]

Explanation:

Using kinematics,

t = 4s

u = 0m/s

a = 9.8m/s^2

Therefore v = u + at = 0 + (4)(9.8) = 39.2m/s.

Ozzie estimates the weight of his cat to be 10 pounds. The actual weight of the cat is 7 pounds. Find
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The percent error in his estimation is 30%

Explanation:

Percentage error = |UA- UE| \ UE × 100

UA= Actual value = 7 pounds

UE = Expected value = 10 pounds

Percent error of his estimate = ∣7-10∣ / 10 ×100

= ∣-3∣ / 10 × 100

= 30%

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

(a) 1.11 m

(b) 4760 kgm/s  

Explanation:

height of plane (h) = 370 m

velocity (v) = 56 m/s

mass (m) = 85 kg

force = 1.2 x 10^{5} N = 120,000 N

(a) We can get the minimum depth of snow from the equation below

   force x depth = kinetic energy on impact

 f x d = 0.5 x m x v^{2}

 120000 x d = 0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}

 d= (0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}) ÷ 120000 = 1.11 m

(b) the magnitude of impulse is equal to the momentum of the paratrooper and his gear

 = m x v

= 85 x 56 = 4760 kgm/s
