How are hot spots used to track plate motion

A hot plate is an adjustable heating source which is ideal for heating beakers, erlenmeyer flasks, hot water baths, and other flat-bottomed containers. It is essentially an el…ectric stove top that is used in the laboratory. The temperature is adjustable (usually on a scale of 0 to 10) and there is very often a built in spinning magnetic stirrer (to be used in combination with a magnetic star bar) so that you can efficiently stir a solution while heating it. Some have computer controllers to maintain the temperature at an exact level (for instance when using a water or oil bath). A hot plate or heating mantle should always be used in place of a Bunsen burner or other open-flame source to heat a flammable liquid.

Hot spots are fixed locations in the earth's mantle where heat from the earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. the earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. as they move away form the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaces by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from the previous volcanoes indicates the direction  :)))

A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball the instant bef
inessss [21]

Answer:

29.396988 m/s

Explanation:

Really, it depends on where the child is when he drops the ball - e.g., which planet he is on, and his distance from the center of that planet.

I'll assume that the child is on Earth at sea level at the equator, so that his distance from the geocenter is 6378000 meters.

The acceleration, g, is found from

g = GM/r²

G = 6.6743e-11 m³ kg⁻¹ sec⁻²

M = 5.9724e+24 kg

r = 6.378e+6 m

g = 9.799086 m sec⁻²

An approximate answer is found from an equation from constant acceleration kinematics:

v = gt

t = 3.0 sec

v = 29.397259 m/s

Now, the above method is an approximation that makes the technically incorrect assumption that the acceleration of gravity is a constant throughout the entire fall. You get away with it because the drop is very short. In another situation, it might not be. So it would be nice to develop a more accurate method that does not assume constant gravitational acceleration. For that, we begin with the Vis Viva equation:

v = √[GM(2/r − 1/a)]

Here,

a = the semimajor axis of a plunge orbit, which is equal to half of the apoapsis distance of 6378000+h, where

h = the altitude from which the ball is dropped

We can (using some math) develop the following equation:

t − t₀ = √[d/(2GM)] { √(rd−r²) + d arctan √(d/r−1) }

t − t₀ = 3 sec

r = 6378000 meters

d = r + h

Using an iterative method (e.g. Newton's or Danby's), we can determine that the altitude,

h = 44.0954 meters

So,

d = 6378044.09538 meters

a = d/2 = 3189022.04769 meters

Now we can calculate that

v = 29.396988 m/s

This is the more nearly correct answer because it takes into account the variability of the gravitational acceleration during the fall.

What is the definition of Cubit
disa [49]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Cubit is a unit of length based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and usually equal to about 18 inches (46 centimeters).

It is an ancient unit of length used in ancient Egypt and is also known as "ancient Egyptian royal cubit."

Other similar units of measurements are displayed in the image below. Thanks!

The cylinder in the picture is rotating at 500 RPMs. The friction coefficients between the cylinder and block B are static=0.5 a
Tju [1.3M]

  • Coefficient of static friction = 0.5
  • Coefficient of Kinetic friction = 0.3
  • Angular velocity = 500 RPMs

<h3>The Radius of the System</h3>

Let R be the radius of cylinder

m_a + m_b = 4 + 3 = 7kg

The angular velocity is 500 RPMs

\omega ^2 = \frac{500 * 2\pi}{60} rad/s\\N = (M_a + M_b)\omega ^2 R

The normal force

f = \mu N = (M_a + M_b) g\\\mu (M_a + M_b) \omega ^2 R = M_a + M_b\\R = \frac{1}{\mu \omega ^2 R}\\\mu_s = 0.5\\R = \frac{1}{0.5 * (\frac{500 * 2\pi}{60})^2 }\\R = 0.0073m\\R = 7.3mm

Since the radius is very little for two block to execute circular motion so system will slide down.
