REY [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An earthquake is a natural rapid shaking of the tectonic plates caused by the release of stored energy in rocks

Explanation:

there are tectonic plates and the earthquake is caused by that energy the plates are always moving so it might get stuck in between each other and store the energy.

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

Plz help difference between closed system and open system?
frozen [14]

A closed system is a system that is completely isolated from its environment. The physical universe, as we currently understand it, appears to be a closed system. An open system is a system that has flows of information, energy, and/or matter between the system and its environment, and which adapts to the exchange.

D makes the most sense, but you just have to put two and two together and go with your gut feeling, first cross out the answers that don't make sense (A didnt make sense) and go from there! I hope the little bit above me helped you answer or decide :) Good luck!
