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.

In case of collision of objects in two dimensions which statement is true after the collision?
Grace [21]

The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved. 

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.

As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.

Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.

Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.

A cat chases a mouse across a 1.2 m high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the
Drupady [299]
The cat has two directions of motions:
The horizontal motion = Dx = 2.2 m
The vertical motion = Dy = -1.3 m (negative sign indicates that the cat is falling)
a = 9.8 m/sec^2
Vy = zero (since you are not moving up)

From the laws of motion:
<span>Dy = Vyt + 0.5ayt^2 
</span>-1.3 = 0(t) + 0.5(-9.8)t^2
<span>t = 0.52s
</span>
Then, again using the laws of motion (but for the horizontal direction this time)
Dx = Vxt 
<span>2.2 = Vx0.52 </span>
<span>Vx = 2.2/0.52 </span>
<span>= 4.23 m/s 
</span>
<span>Therefore the cat's speed when it slid off the table is 4.23 m/s horizontally.</span>

A car cruises at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour. How much time will it take to go 600 miles?
Len [333]
Speed is constant. 50 miles = 1 hour. 600/50 = 12. 1hr(12) = 12 hours.

A golfer hits her tee-shot due north towards the fairway. Her shot has an initial velocity of 60 m/s. A 15 m/s wind is blowing i
vovangra [49]

Answer:

c=71.4m/s

\theta=8.54\textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial velocity of 60 m/s

Wind speed V_w= 15 m/s \angle  45 \textdegree

Generally Resolving vector mathematically

  sin(45\textdegree)15=10.6\\cos(45\textdegree)15=10.6

Generally the equation Pythagoras theorem is given mathematically by

c^2=a^2+b^2

c^2=10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2

c=\sqrt{10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2}

Therefore Resultant velocity (m/s)

c=71.4m/s

b)Resultant direction

Generally the equation for solving Resultant direction

\theta=tan^-1(\frac{y}{x})

Therefore

\theta=tan^-1(\frac{10.6}{70.6})

\theta=8.54\textdegree

An ideal spring with spring constant k is hung from the ceiling. The initial length of the spring, with nothing attached to the
hram777 [196]

The mass m of the object = 5.25 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

k = spring constant = 3.5 N/cm

Δx= 30 cm - 15 cm = 15 cm

Required

the mass m

Solution

F=m.g

Hooke's Law

F = k.Δx

\tt m.g=k.\Delta x\\\\m.10=3.5\times 15\\\\m=5.25~kg
