Answer:

Divergent plate margins

Explanation:

Divergent plate margins are constructive zones on the surface of the earth. They are constructive in the sense that new materials are brought to the surface from within the crust.

An example of such is the mid-altlantic ridge. Here as two plates pull apart, new melts up-wells and finds a way to get to the surface where they cool and solidify.

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. v = 6.67 m/s

2. d = 9.54 m

Explanation:

1. To find the horizontal velocity of the rock we need to use the following equation:

$d = v*t \rightarrow v = \frac{d}{t}$

<u>Where</u>:

d: is the distance traveled by the rock

t: is the time

The time can be calculated as follows:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}$

<u>Where:</u>

g: is gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*7 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.20 s$

Now, the horizontal velocity of the rock is:

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8 m}{1.20 s} = 6.67 m/s$

Hence, the initial velocity required to barely reach the edge of the shell below you is 6.67 m/s.

2. To calculate the distance at which the projectile will land, first, we need to find the time:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(7 m + 3 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

So, the distance is:

$d = v*t = 6.67 m/s*1.43 s = 9.54 m$

Therefore, the projectile will land at 9.54 m of the second cliff.

I hope it helps you!

1. You wish to heat 20 kg of water from 40°C to 80°C. How many kcal of heat are necessary to do this? To how many kJ does this c

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

<h2>3,343.68kJ </h2>

Explanation:

Heat energy used up can be calculated using the formula:

H = mcΔt

m = mass oof the object (in kg) = 20kg

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4179.6J/kg°C

Δt change in temperature = 80-40 = 40°C

H= 20* 4179.6 * 40

H = 3,343,680Joules

H = 3,343.68kJ

A small glass bead has been charged to +20 nC. A small metal ball bearing 1.0 cm above the bead feels a 0.018 N downward electri

Alla [95]

Answer:

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Explanation:

Let the charge on the ball bearing is q.

charge on glass bead, Q = 20 nC = 20 x 10^-9 C

Force between them, F = 0.018 N

Distance between them, d = 1 cm = 0.01 m

By use of Coulomb's law in electrostatics

$F=\frac{KQq}{d^{2}}$

By substituting the values

$0.018=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times20\times10^{-9}q}{0.01^{2}}$

$q=1\times10^{-8}C$

Thus, the charge on the ball bearing is $q=1\times10^{-8}C$
