Which of the following statements about earthquakes is false? a. the building and release of stress along a plate boundary can result in an earthquake. b. earthquakes can occur far from plate boundaries. c. seismic waves originate at a point called the focus. d. no amount of force can cause rock to deform.

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.

Bob camina 200 m sur, luego trota 400 m suroeste, luego camina 200 m en una dirección 30? norte del este. a. dibuje una gráfica de los movimientos de bob. use una regla y transportador. b. use método gráfico y analíitico para hallar el desplazamiento total que bob recorrió. (magnitud y dirección) c. compare los resultados obtenidos por el método gráfico y analítico. (por ciento de diferencia).

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .
