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

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

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 ball of mass 0.4 kg is initially at rest on the ground. It is kicked and leaves the kicker's foot with a speed of 5.0 m/s in a

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

the answer the correct is 3

Explanation:

Let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

I = Δp

I = m $v_{f}$ - m v₀

Let's calculate

I = 0.4 5.0 - 0

I = 2.0 N s

By Newton's law of action and reaction the force on the ball is equal to the force that the ball exerts on the foot, therefore the impulse on the foot of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction

I = 2.0 Ns with 60°

A 0.50 kilogram ball is held at a height of 20 meters. What is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches halfway after bein

Margarita [4]

Potential energy at any point is (M G H). On the way down, only H changes. So halfway down, half of the potential energy remains, and the other half has turned to kinetic energy. Half of the (M G H) it had at the tpp is (0.5 x 9.8 x 10) = 49 joules.

faust18 [17]

The random variable in this experiment is a Continuous random variable.

Option D

Explanation:

The continuous random variable is random variable where the data can take infinite variables. For example random variable is taken for measuring "speed of automobiles" on the highways. The radar instrument depicts time taken by automobile in particular what speed. They are the generalization of discrete random variables not the real numbers as a random data is created. It gives infinite sets of all possible outcomes. It is obvious that outcomes of the instrument depend on some "physical variables" those are not predictable as depends on the situation.

Assume the motions and currents mentioned are along the x axis and fields are in the y direction. (a) does an electric field exe

matrenka [14]

(a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object?
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
 $F=qE$
As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.

(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with charge q and speed v is
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.

(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object?
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
 $F=qE$
as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.

(d) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.

(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.

(f) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.

(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
 $F=qE$
So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.

(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
 $F=qvB \sin \theta$
is different from zero because v is different from zero.
