Answer :

A study published in the journal Seismological Research Letters this week identified 730 sites where human activity caused earthquakes over the past 150 years. And while we've long known that people can influence seismic activity, researchers were surprised to find that human activity has induced earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9—and that the number of earthquakes is clearly rising in some regions of the world.

The effects of human-induced earthquakes may be similar to those created by nature, but are often seen in regions with little or no previous seismic activity. Most natural earthquakes happen along fault lines, which are commonly (but not exclusively) found where tectonic plates converge. But earthquakes triggered by human activity can occur far from the edges of tectonic plates.


Exactly what causes each induced earthquake depends on the type of human activity.

According to the report's data, found on a publicly accessible database, mining accounted for the highest number of human-induced earthquakes worldwide (many earthquakes clustered around 271 sites). The removal of material from the earth can cause instability, leading to sudden collapses that trigger earthquakes.

Multiple earthquakes at 167 sites—and by far the deadliest ones—were triggered by what the report calls water reservoir impoundment, or dam building. (See the power of dams and dam removal.)

In 2008, an estimated 80,000 people died or went missing following a 7.9 earthquake in China's Sichuan province. Scientists believe it was triggered by the weight of 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir—over a well-known fault line.

In the U.S., the conversation around human-induced earthquakes has largely centered around fracking for oil and natural gas, given the rapid spread of the technology in many states. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, fracking can induce seismic activity, both directly and from disposing of wastewater used in the process—the byproduct of water, sand, and chemicals used to hydraulically fracture hydrocarbons from rock. That high-pressure wastewater can crack rocks and lubricate faults.

The magnitude of resultant velocity for a bird flying is 7.132 m/s.

What is Velocity?

Velocity ​​is defined as the directional motion of an object which is observed from a particular frame of reference and measured by a particular standard of time, as an indication of the rate of change of position.

Velocity is the Vector quantity as it has magnitude as well as direction. It can be represented as

[tex]\overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{v} = average velocity[/tex]

[tex]{\Delta x} = displacement[/tex]

[tex]{\Delta t} = change in time[/tex]

For the information above, two vectors are represented as the sides of a parallelogram, then the resulting vector is given as the diagonal of that parallelogram. The resultant vector is that it can have any value between a maximum and a minimum depending on the angle; But scalar numbers can have either maximum or minimum value depending on whether they are added or subtracted.

The resultant vector of any two vectors is given by: [tex]v^2= \sqrt{v_1^2+ v_2^2+ 2 v_1v_2 cos }[/tex]Θ

where, Θ is the angle between these two vectors.

The angle between directions north-east and south is 135°.

So, the magnitude of the resultant vector is

[tex]v= \sqrt{10^2 + 8^2 +2.10.8. cos 135}[/tex]

v= 7.132 m/s

Describe how the constant electric potential from the battery drives the charges in the conducting wire in your own words.

Answers

Explanation:

It is known that charges tend to move from a higher potential towards lower potential. As a result, charges tend to move from a positive terminal to negative terminal of the battery.

For example, at a certain height water is stored in a water tank. This height is correspondent to the constant potential and water contained is the charge present in the battery.

When a pipe is connected from the tank to the ground then water will start moving towards the ground and similarly if a conducting wire is connected across the battery then charge will also begin to flow in the same direction which is called current.

What is the electric field 3.9 m from the center of the terminal of a Van de Graaff with a 6.60 mC charge, noting that the field is equivalent to that of a point charge at the center of the terminal

Answers

Answer:

the electric field is  3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field at a point due to point charge is;

E = kq/r²

where k is the constant, r is the distance from centre of terminal to point where electric field is, q is the excess charge placed on the centre of terminal of Van de Graff,a generator

Now, given that r = 3.9 m, k = 9.0 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², q = 6.60 mC = 6.60 x 10⁻³ C

so we substitute into the formula

E = [(9.0 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²)( 6.60 x 10⁻³ C)] / ( 3.9 )²

E = 59400000 / 15.21

E = 3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

Therefore, the electric field is  3.91 x 10⁶ N/C

Answers

Answer:

The induced current is counter clockwise if the current is decreasing and towards right.

Explanation:

When the current is decreasing in the wire, the direction of magnetic field at the center of the loop is outwards to the plane of paper which is given by the Maxwell's right hand thumb rule. The magnetic field is decreasing in nature.

So according to the Lenz's law, the induced current is such that which opposes the cause of its production, so that the induced current is counter clockwise.

Required:
Find the radius and period of the orbit.

Answers

Answer:

  r = 2,026 10⁹ m  and   T = 2.027 10⁴ s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

where the force is electric

        F = [tex]k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Acceleration is centripetal

        a = v² / r

we substitute

        [tex]k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = m \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]

        r = [tex]k \frac{q_1q_2}{m \ v^2}[/tex]          (1)

let's look for the charge in the insulating sphere

          ρ = q₂ / V

          q₂ = ρ V

the volume of the sphere is

         v = 4/3 π r³

we substitute

        q₂ = ρ [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π r³

        q₂ = 3 10⁻⁹ [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π 4³

        q₂ = 8.04 10⁻⁷ C

let's calculate the radius with equation 1

        r = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹  8.04 10⁻⁷ /(9.1  10⁻³¹ 628 10³)

        r = 2,026 10⁹ m

this is the radius of the electron orbit around the charged sphere.

Since the orbit is circulating, the speed (speed modulus) is constant, we can use the uniform motion ratio

        v = x / t

the distance traveled in a circle is

        x = 2π r

In this case, time is the period

        v = 2π r /T

        T = 2π r /v

let's calculate

        T = 2π 2,026 10⁹/628 103

        T = 2.027 10⁴ s

A from the time that the magnet is pushed into the coil to the time it is pulled out B while the magnet remains within the coil C while the magnet is moving D only while the magnet is being pulled out of the coil

Answers

Answer:

C. while the magnet is moving

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction implies the production of electric current by mere movement of a magnet with respect to a coil or wire.

In the given question, current would be induced in the wire only when the magnet moves. That is either when the magnet is pushed into a wire, or when pulled out. But no current would flow through the wire when the magnet is left there for a while.

The current is induced because of the motion involved. Thus, the appropriate option is C.

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 844 g of water at 14.6°C? ​

Answers

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

[tex]m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a[/tex]

where,

[tex]m_c[/tex] = mass of copper = 227 g

[tex]m_w[/tex] = mass of water = 844 g

[tex]m_a[/tex] = mass of aluminum = 155 g

[tex]C_c[/tex] = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

[tex]C_w[/tex] = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

[tex]C_a[/tex] = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

[tex]\Delta T_c[/tex] = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

[tex]\Delta T_w[/tex] = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

[tex]\Delta T_a[/tex] = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

[tex](227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}[/tex]

Where

I is the moment of inertia

So,

[tex]I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{13.3}{7.24}\\\\I=1.83\ kg-m^2[/tex]

So, the moment of inertia of the vase is equal to [tex]1.83\ kg-m^2[/tex].

A box is being pulled to the right over a rough surface. t > fk , so the box is speeding up. Suddenly the rope breaks. What happens? The box:_________.
a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.
b. stops immediately.
c. continues speeding up for a short while, then slows and stops.
d. continues with the speed it had when the rope broke.

Answers

Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

So, the answer is a.

a ball is projected horizontally from the top of a hill with a velocity of 30 m per second if it reaches the ground 5 seconds later the height of the hill is​

Answers

The height of the hill is 125m.

Answer:

The height of the hill is 125m.

Explanation:

Since the ball is projected horizontally from the top of a hill, there is no vertical component of the velocity of projection. Therefore, so far as motion in the vertical direction is concerned, the ball is just dropped, ie its initial velocity u is merely 0 m/s. It reaches the ground after 5 seconds from the moment of projection, under the action of accerelation due to gravity.

Using,

s = u t + ½ a t². In this expression u= 0 m/s, a = 10m/s², t = 5 s. Substituting in the equation we get,

s = 0× t + ½ ×10 m/s²× 5²s²= 5× 25 m = 125m.

a. Find its spring constant.
b. The load and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring, each with a force of 150 N. Find the length of the spring in this situation.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 1470 N/m

(b) 48.2 m

Explanation:

Applying,

(a) F = ke.................... Equation 1

Where F = force applied to the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension

make k the subject of the equation

k = F/e............... Equation 2

But,

F = mg............. Equation 3

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

k = mg/e.............. Equation 4

From the question,

Given: m = 6 kg, e = 42-38 = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 4

k = (6×9.8)/0.04

k = 1470 N/m

(b) Consider the end of the spring to the left which exert a force to the right

Then,

e = F/k............. Equation 5

Given: F = 150 N, k = 1470 N/m

Substitute these values into equation 5

e = 150/1470

e = 0.102 m

Hence the length of the spring is

L = 0.38+0.102 = 0.482 cm = 48.2 m

Answers

Answer:

the electric potential difference between the point at the center of the ring and a point on its axis ΔV is [tex]( 0.8356 )[/tex][tex]\frac{kQ}{R}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

electric potential at the center of the ring V₀ = kQ / R

electric potential on the axis point Vr = kQ / √( R² + x² )

at a distance 6R from the center,

point at x = 6R

so distance circumference r = √( R² + (6R)² )

so

electric potential on the axis point Vr = kQ / √( R² + (6R)² )

Vr = kQ / R√37

Now

ΔV = V₀ - Vr

we substitute

ΔV = ( kQ / R) - ( kQ / R√37 )

ΔV =  kQ/R( 1 - 1/√37 )

ΔV =  kQ/R( 1 - 0.164398987 )

ΔV =  kQ/R( 0.8356 )

ΔV = [tex]( 0.8356 )[/tex][tex]\frac{kQ}{R}[/tex]       { where k = [tex]\frac{1}{4\pi e_0}[/tex] }

Explanation:

1.  A typical payload they claim to launch will weigh 1 kilogram and be accelerated to 90% the speed of light. How much electrical energy will the rail gun require to launch the probe, assuming it is 20% efficient at converting electrical energy to projectile kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of the payload is K = (γ - 1)mc² where m = mass of payload = 1 kg, c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and γ = 1/√(1 - β²) where β = 0.9 (since the payload moves at 90 % speed of light)

So, K = (γ - 1)mc²

= (1/√(1 - β²) - 1)mc²

= (1/√(1 - (0.9)²) - 1) × 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)²

= (1/√(1 - 0.81) - 1) × 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)²

= (1/√0.19 - 1) × 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)²

= (1/0.436 - 1) × 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)²

= (2.294 - 1) × 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)²

= 1.294 × 1 kg × 9 × 10¹⁶ m²/s²

= 11.65 × 10¹⁶ kgm²/s²

= 1.165 × 10¹⁷ J

Let E be the total electrical energy of the rail gun. Since 20 % of this energy is converted to kinetic energy of the payload, we have

20 % of E = K

0.2E = K

E = K/0.2

= 1.165 × 10¹⁷ J/0.2

= 5.825 × 10¹⁷ J

2 Given that typical electrical costs are about 5 cents/MJ, how much would this launch cost? Would you invest in this company?

i. how much would this launch cost?

Since the total energy required is E = 5.825 × 10¹⁷ J = 5.825 × 10¹¹ MJ and it costs 5 cent/MJ. So the total cost of energy will be total energy rate = 5.825 × 10¹¹ MJ × 5 cent/MJ = 29.125 × 10¹¹ = 2.9125 × 10¹² cents. Converting this to dollars, we have 2.9125 × 10¹² cents/100 cents/dollar = 2.9125 × 10¹⁰ dollars = 29.125 × 10⁹ dollars = 29.125 billion dollars = $ 29.125 billion

ii. Would you invest in this company?

I would not invest in the company

3. You are also concerned about safety. What happens if this projectile were to hit an airplane that is flying overhead and dissipate all of its kinetic energy in the collision? To give you a sense of scale, a large nuclear explosion generates about 1015 J of energy.

Since the kinetic energy of the payload is 1.165 × 10¹⁷ J and a nuclear explosion generates about 10¹⁵ J of energy,  then a nuclear reaction would occur if the payload hits an airplane flying overhead and dissipates all its kinetic energy in the collision.

4. The system must be able to launch probes to all parts in the sky and must be transportable on a ship. Assume that the rail gun is mounted on a frigate-class navy ship (weight = 4,000 metric tons).

a. Will the recoil momentum of the ship be relativistic? Justify your argument.

i. Will the recoil momentum of the ship be relativistic?

The momentum will not be relativistic.

ii. Justify your argument.

This is because objects with large masses do not move at relativistic speeds. Since the speed cannot be relativistic, its momentum which is the product of mass and speed is non-relativistic

b. At what speed will the ship recoil after it launches a probe? Do you think that this is a problem for the ship?

i. At what speed will the ship recoil after it launches a probe?

Since the total energy of the payload E' = K + mc² = 1.165 × 10¹⁷ J + 1 kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s)² = 1.165 × 10¹⁷ J + 1 kg × 9 × 10¹⁶ m²/s² = 11.65 × 10¹⁶ J + 9 × 10¹⁶ J = 20.65 × 10¹⁶ J

Also, E'² = (pc)² + (mc²)² where p = momentum of payload

So, making p subject of the formula, we have

(pc)² = E'² - (mc²)²

pc = √[E'² - (mc²)²]

p = √[E'² - (mc²)²]/c

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

p = √[E'² - (mc²)²]/c

p = √[(20.65 × 10¹⁶ J)² - 1kg × (3 × 10⁸ m/s²)²]/3 × 10⁸ m/s

p = √[(20.65 × 10¹⁶ J)² - (1kg × 9 × 10⁸ m²/s²)²]/3 × 10⁸ m/s

p = √[426.4225 × 10³² J² - 81 × 10³² J²]/3 × 10⁸ m/s

p = √[345.4225 × 10³² J²]/3 × 10⁸ m/s

p = 18.59 × 10¹⁶/3 × 10⁸ m/s

p = 6.20 × 10⁸ kgm/s

From the law of conservation, this momentum of the payload equals the momentum of recoil of the ship.

So, p = m'v where m' = mass of navy ship = 4,000 metric tons = 4,000 × 1000 kg = 4 × 10⁶ kg and v = speed of navy ship

So, v = p/m'

= 6.20 × 10⁸ kgm/s ÷ 4 × 10⁶ kg

= 1.55 × 10² m/s

= 155 m/s

ii. Do you think that this is a problem for the ship?

Since the ship's speed is 155 m/s, which is small for an object with such a large mass, this speed wouldn't be a problem for the ship.
