Which of the following statements is FALSE?

Physics

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude A. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by,
DiKsa [7]

Since it's a transverse wave, a particle on the string moves left and right as the wave passes by, but the particle doesn't travel forward or backward at all.

So the little red dot moves 'A' to the left, then 'A' back to the center, then 'A' to the right, then 'A' back to the center again.

All together, the red dot moves a total distance of <em>4A . (choice 'a')</em>

A roller coaster car drops a maximum vertical distance of 35.4 m. Determine the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that d
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum vertical distance covered by the roller coaster, h = 35.4 m

We need to find the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop. It is a case of conservation of energy. The energy at bottom is equal to the energy at top such that :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 35.4}

v = 26.34 m/s

So, the maximum speed of the car at the bottom of that drop is 26.34 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm
