Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy  as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 61° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
dsp73

Answer:

Highest point reached  = 3.37 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity, = 7.1 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = 7.1 sin 61 = 6.21 m/s

Consider the vertical motion of skateboarder,

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

          Initial velocity, u = 6.21 m/s

          Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

          Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

         Substituting

                       v² = u² + 2as

                       0² = 6.21² + 2 x -9.81 x s

                       s = 1.97 m

So from ramp the position it goes up by 1.97 m

       Highest point reached = 1.97 + 1.4 = 3.37 m

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
