When plates move they sometimes open small cracks that release heat from under earths plate, coming from the mantle or even the core at times, this heat allows scientists to determine where the plates are moving from and where they are moving to.

John and Linda are arguing about the definition of density. John says the density of an object is proportional to itsmass. Linda
NeX [460]

Answer:

They are both correct.

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. This implies that the density of the object is both proportional to the mass and also to the volume of the object. John only mentioned mass which is correct. Linda mentioned the second variable on which density depends which is the volume of the object.

Hence considering the both statements objectively, one can say that they are both correct.

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>

If a person pulls back a rubber band on a slingshot without letting to go of it, what type of energy will the rubber band have?
Travka [436]

Answer:

Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.

Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
