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.

If the blocks are released from rest, which way does the 10 kg block slide, and what is its acceleration? enter a positive value
anyanavicka [17]
<span>Let m1=10kg and m2=5kg and for our calculations assume right is positive and up is positive (note: for block hanging, the x axis is vertical so tilt your head to help) For m1 Sigma Fx = ma T - m1gsin35 = m1a where T = tension For m2 m2g - T = m2a Add equation together m1a + m2a = T-m1gsin35 + m2g - T a(m1 + m2) = m2g - m1gsin35 a= (5*9.8 - 10*9.8*sin35)/(10 + 5) a= -0.48m/s/s So the system is moving in the opposite direction of our set coordinate system where we said right positive, its negative so its moving left therefore down the ramp</span>

Block b rests upon a smooth surface. if the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a and b are μs = 0.4 and μk = 0.
aliina [53]

Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

 

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

 

2.173a = 6

 

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

 

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

 

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

A dipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 N/C. What is the magnitude of
Over [174]

Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.

An engineer is designing a process for a new transistor. She uses a vacuum chamber to bombard a thin layer of silicon with ions
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

m_p=5.18\times 10^{-26}\ kg

re= 46 cm

Vp= 180 m/s

We know that

E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{r}

\Delta V=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e}

So

E=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e.r_e}

Now by putting the all given values in the questions

E=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{5.18\times 10^{-26}\times 180^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.46}

E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m

So the average electric field is E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m.
