Earth’s crust continuously melts and solidifies in the upper mantle. Why does oceanic crust solidify faster than continental cru

st?
A.
Continental crust spans a wider area and is generally thinner than oceanic crust.
B.
Magma beneath oceanic crust is a lower temperature than magma beneath continental crust.
C.
When magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock.
D.
Salt in ocean water accelerates the solidification process by way of chemical reaction.

The oceanic crust solidifies faster than the continental crust. Because when magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is the crust?</h3>

The outermost layer of a terrestrial planet is referred to as its "crust."

In the upper mantle, the Earth's crust is constantly melting and solidifying. Compared to magma beneath the continental crust, the oceanic crust has a lower temperature.

Magma cools more quickly when it comes into touch with ocean water than when it hits continental rock. causes the continental crust to solidify more slowly than the oceanic crust.

Hence option C is correct.

Calculate the wavelength of a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 151.7 mhz
AlekseyPX

The wavelength of a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 151.7 Mhz is 1.978 meter

According to the question

The frequency of a photon of electromagnetic radiation = 151.7 Mhz

By using the Formula of wavelength and frequency

λ = C/f

Where,

λ (Lambda) = Wavelength in meters

C = Speed of Light (c = 3x10⁸ m/s)

f = Frequency

Now, the wavelength of a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 151.7 Mhz is  

1 Mhz = 1000000 Hz

151.7 Mhz = 151.7 * 10⁶ Hz

λ = C/f  

Substituting the value of C and f  

  λ =  \frac{3*10^{8} }{151.7 * 10^{6}  }

  λ = 1.978 meter

Hence,  the wavelength of a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 151.7 Mhz is 1.978 meter

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>​
mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.

Suppose you wanted to use the Earth's magnetic field to make an AC generator at a location where the magnitude of the field is 0
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The angular velocity I would have to rotate it in order to generate an emf of amplitude 1.0 V is 254.65 rad/s

Explanation:

given information:

B = 0.5 mT = 0.0005 T

N = 1000

r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

emf, ε = 1 V

according to Faraday's law

ε = -N dΦ/dt, Φ = B A

  = - N d( B A)/dt

  = - N d( B A cos ωt)/dt

   = - N B A d(cos ωt)/dt

   = N B A ω sin ωt

A = πr², so

ε = N B πr² ω sin ωt

where

ε = emf

N = number of coil turn

B = magnetic field

r = radius

ω = angular velocity

Φ = magnetic flux

emf maximum, sin ωt = 1. So,

ε = N B πr² ω

ω = ε/N B πr²

   = 1/[(1000) (0.0005) π (0.05)²

   = 254.65 rad/s

In a series RLC ac circuit, a second resistor is connected in series with the resistor previously in the circuit. As a result of
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

* The first thing we observe is that the frequency response does not change

* The current that circulates in the circuit decreases due to the new resistance at the resonance point,

          Z = R + R₂

Explanation:

The impedance of a series circuit is

          Z₀² = R² + (X_L-X_C) ²

when we place another resistor in series the initial resistance impedance changes to

          Z² = (R + R₂) ² + (X_L - X_C) ²

           

let's analyze this expression

* The first thing we observe is that the frequency response does not change

* The current that circulates in the circuit decreases due to the new resistance at the resonance point,

          Z = R + R₂
