Magnetic stripes on the sea floor

Explanation:

The observation of magnetic stripes patterns at the region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge galvanized the evidence that sea floor spreading has been on for several millions of years.

  • Geomagnetic field of the earth is similar to that of bar magnet having the north and south pole.
  • It originates from the movement of iron-nickel within the outer core.
  • This geomagnetic field causes the magnetization of magnetic minerals in rock.
  • When freshly formed magma is brought to the surface at the mid oceanic ridge area, the prevailing magnetic field causes the magnetic minerals in the magma to cool in such a way that they align their domains to that of the field.
  • The magnetic field of the earth can reverse and take different geometry. Sometimes, its intensity is very strong and at other times it is weak.
  • The magnetic minerals in melts bear these records.
  • As new materials are brought up, they get magnetized.

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is
Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

x=V_{ox}t (2)

V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt (3)

Where:

y=0 m is the bomb's final jeight

y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m is the bomb'e initial height

V_{oy}=0 m/s is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

t is the time

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

x is the bomb's range

V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

V_{f} is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time</h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (4)

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (6)

t=17.49 s (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since V_{oy}=0 m/s, equation (3) is written as:

V_{f}=-gt (8)

V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s) (9)

V_{f}=-171.402 m/s (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s) (11)

x=1700.99 m (12)

Please choose the answer that describes the scientific notation 5098000
bonufazy [111]

So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000 

<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>

Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6

The conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A. respiration.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the intermediary products are produced at the glycolysis and citric acid cycle stage.

Additionally, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.

Hence, the conversion of sugar to energy in the presence of oxygen is respiration.

Which statement is true?
Maurinko [17]
The correct answer is<span> B.The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air.

When the temperature increases so does the speed of sound. Sound is faster by </span>0.60 m/s for every higher degree in air temperature because the air density is reduced and the sound can travel faster.
