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.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

a=-0.33\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

The acceleration of a moving body is defined as the relation of change of speed (or velocity in vector form) with the time taken. The formula is given by

\displaystyle a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

Where vf and vo are the final and initial speeds respectively. The problem gives us these values: v0 = 3 m/s, vf = 1 m/s, t = 3 seconds. Computing a

\displaystyle a=\frac{1-3}{3}=-0.33\ m/s^2

The negative sing of a indicates there is deceleration or decreasing speed

Calculated the measurement uncertainty for Kinetic Energy when :mass = 1.3[kg] +/- 0.4[kg]velocity= 5.2 [m/s] +/- 0.2 [m/s]KE= 1
andriy [413]

Answer:

\rm KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Mass, \rm m\pm\Delta m = 1.3\pm 0.4\ kg.
  • Velocity, \rm v\pm \Delta v = 5.2\pm 0.2\ m/s.

where,

\rm \Delta m,\ \Delta v are the uncertainties in mass and velocity respectively.

The kinetic energy is given by

\rm KE = \dfrac 12 mv^2 = \dfrac 12 \times 1.3\times 5.2^2=17.576\approx 17.6\ J.

The uncertainty in kinetic energy is given as:

\rm \dfrac{\Delta KE}{KE}=\dfrac{\Delta m}{m}+\dfrac{2\Delta v}{v}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=\dfrac{0.4}{1.3}+\dfrac{2\times 0.2}{5.2}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=0.384\\\Rightarrow \Delta KE = 17.6\times 0.384 = 6.7854\ J\approx6.8\ J\\\\Thus,\\\\KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.
