Classify the type of plate boundary where the appalachian mountains formed . how have they changed since their formation

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The Appalachian Mountains were formed when colliding tectonic plates folded and upthrust, mainly during the Permian Period and again in the Cretaceous Period. The folds and thrusts were then eroded and carved by wind, streams and glaciers. These erosive processes are ongoing, and the topography of the Appalachian Mountains continue to change. They have changed with the miles of land that are cleared of all vegetation and topsoil. In the 1970's coal miners literally blow away the top of a mountain to get to the coal underneath.</span>

A coil with an inductance of 2.3 H and a resistance of 14 Ω is suddenly connected to an ideal battery with ε = 100 V. At 0.13 s

klemol [59]

Given Information:

Resistance = R = 14 Ω

Inductance = L = 2.3 H

voltage = V = 100 V

time = t = 0.13 s

Required Information:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

Answer:

(a) energy is being stored in the magnetic field ≈ 219 watts

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance ≈ 267 watts

Explanation:

The energy stored in the inductor is given by

$U = \frac{1}{2} Li^{2}$

The rate at which the energy is being stored in the inductor is given by

$\frac{dU}{dt} = Li\frac{di}{dt} \: \: \: \: eq. 1$

The current through the RL circuit is given by

$i = \frac{V}{R} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ \tau} })$

Where τ is the the time constant and is given by

$\tau = \frac{L}{R}\\ \tau = \frac{2.3}{14}\\ \tau = 0.16$

$i = \frac{110}{14} (1-e^{-\frac{t}{ 0.16} })\\i = 7.86(1-e^{-6.25t})\\\frac{di}{dt} = 49.125e^{-6.25t}$

Therefore, eq. 1 becomes

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3)(7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))(49.125e^{-6.25t})$

At t = 0.13 seconds

$\frac{dU}{dt} = (2.3) (4.37) (21.8)\\\frac{dU}{dt} = 219.11 \: watts$

(b) thermal energy is appearing in the resistance

The thermal energy is given by

$P = i^{2}R\\P = (7.86(1-e^{-6.25t}))^{2} \cdot 14\\P = (4.37)^{2}\cdot 14\\P = 267.35 \: watts$

The energy delivered by battery is

$P = Vi\\P = 110\cdot 4.37\\P = 481 \: watts$

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of vibrations?

dexar [7]

<span>So we want to know what statement is an accurate description of vibrations. So humans can hear sound frequencies from 20-20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is infra sound and above 20000 Hz is ultra sound. Humans cant hear both infra sound and ultra sound so the correct answer is A.</span>
