Answer:

I can only define a few of them, hope you don't mind.

Seismic- It means connected with or caused by earthquakes

Epicenter- It means the point on the earth's surface where the effects of an earthquake are most felt strongly.

Fault- A place where there is a break that is longer than usual in the layers of rock in the earth's crust.

Tectonic waves- Waves connected with the structure of the earth's surface.

Plate boundaries- The boundaries that differentiates the large sheets of rock (called PLATES) that form the earth's surface. Plate tectonics is the movement of the large sheets of rocks that form the earth's surface

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Anna is correct.

Explanation:

Anna is right as a satellite is in free fall because it keeps falling toward Earth, meaning that gravity is the only force acting on it. Tom is incorrect because an object does not have to accelerate at a certain speed to be considered to be in free fall. As long as gravity is the only force acting upon the object, it is considered to be in free fall.

The mass of a string is 5.9 × 10-3 kg, and it is stretched so that the tension in it is 200 n. a transverse wave traveling on th

bagirrra123 [75]

The velocity of the wave on the string is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{L}}} \\ v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}}$

Solving the above equation,

$v^2=\frac{TL}{m} \\ L=\frac{v^2m}{T}$

The frequency of the wave $f=300$ and wave length is $0.76$

The velocity is $v=(300)(0.76)=228$

Substituting numerical values,

$L=\frac{228^2(0.0059)}{200}\\ T=1.534$

The length of the string is $1.534 m$

When light travels through a small hole, it appears to be an observer that the light spreads out, blurring the outline of the ho

Answer:

support lights as a wave

Explanation:

In the model of light as a particle, the experimenter would expect to see one small hole of light emerging on the wall. However, as the light spreads out, it behaves much like a wave that diffracts when going through a small hole.

A box weighs 1300 N. When a horizontal force of 390 N has applied the box accelerates at 1.3 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the

katrin [286]

Answer:

Ffriction = 217.7[N]

Explanation:

First, we must find the mass of the box, we must remember that the weight is defined as the product of the mass by acceleration.

$w=m*g$

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

$1300=m*9.81\\m=132.51[kg]$

Now we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

∑F sum of forces

m = mass = 132.51[kg]

a = acceleration = 1.3[m/s²]

We must know that the forces that act are the horizontal force that moves the box and the friction force in the negative direction that acts against the movement.

Now replacing:

$390-f_{friction}=132.51*1.3\\390-172.26=f_{friction}\\f_{friction}=217.7[N]$
