Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. The continental crust is l

ighter and less dense than oceanic crust. Continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. Oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. When the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. Once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. Because of this, we would expect to find ___________ rocks in the area of a subduction.

The answer is; metamorphic

Occurs when igneous and sedimentary rocks are subjected to extreme temperatures and pressure such that their chemical composition changes. Examples of metamorphic rocks are; marble (that metamorphoses from limestone rock), quartzite (from sandstone). Other types of metamorphic rock include gneiss and schist.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Igneous rocks could form at points B or C. Intrusive means the rock formed inside of the Earth and that would be at point B

A solid brass cylinder and a solid wood cylinder have the same radius and mass (the wood cylinder is longer). Released together
Lena [83]

Answer:

a. They will be tie

b. Win the wood cylinder

Explanation:

a.

The both cylinders will reach the bottom at the same time notice the relation in the equation in indepent of the length and both have the same radius and the same rotational inertia.

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

a=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{com}/m*r^2}

So both will be tie

b.

a_{brass}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{brass}/m*r^2}=a_{wood}=\frac{g*sin(\beta)}{1+I_{wood}/m*r^2}

The acceleration of the wood cylinder is larger than the acceleration of the brass cylinder so the cylinder of wood will reach the bottom first

a_{brass}

So the wood win the race

How much pressure is applied to the ground
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.
