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.

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>

A sailboat moves north for a distance of 15.00 km when blown by a wind from the exact southeast with a force of 3.00 x 10^-4 N.
Zolol [24]
These are actually 4 different exercises:

ex 1) The sailboat moves north, while the wind moves from southeast. This means the angle between the direction of the boat and the wind is 45^{\circ}.

Calling F the force of the wind, and d=15~km=15000~m the distance covered by the boat, the work done by the wind is:
W=Fdcos{\theta}=3\cdot10^{-4}~N \cdot 15000~m\cdot cos 45^{\circ}=3.18~J

The total time of the motion is t=1~h=3600~s and therefore the power of the wind is
P= \frac{W}{t} = \frac{3.18~J}{3600~s}=8.8\cdot10^{-4}~W

ex 2) First of all, let's calculate the length of the ramp. Given the two sizes 2.00 m and 6.00 m, we have
d= \sqrt{(2~m)^2+(6~m)^2}= 6.32~m

The mechanical advantage (MA) of the ramp is the ratio between the output load (W) and the input force (F). The output load is the weight of the load, mg, therefore:
MA= \frac{W}{F}= \frac{mg}{F}= \frac{195~Kg\cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{750~N}=2.55

Finally, the efficiency \epsilon of the ramp is the ratio between the output energy and the work done. The output energy is simply the potential energy (Ep) of the load, which is mgh, where h is the height of the ramp. The work done W is the product between the input force, F, and the displacement of the load, which is the length of the ramp: Fd. Therefore:
\epsilon =  \frac{E_p}{W}= \frac{mgh}{Fd}= \frac{195~Kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2\cdot 2~m}{750~N\cdot6.32~m}=0.81

ex 3) the graph is missing

ex 4) We know that the power is the ratio between the work done W and the time t:
P= \frac{W}{t}
But we can rewrite the work as
W=Fdcos\theta
where F is the force applied, d the displacement of rock and \theta=60^{\circ] is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement (3 m). 
Therefore we can rewrite the power as
P= \frac{W}{t} = \frac{F d cos\theta}{t}=F v cos\theta
where v=d/t=5~m/s is the velocity, Using the data of the exercise, we can then find the force, F:
F= \frac{P}{v cos\theta} =   \frac{250~W}{5~m/s \cdot cos 60^{\circ}}=100~N

and now we can also calculate the work, which is 
W=Fdcos 60^{\circ}=100~N\cdot 3~m \cos60^{\circ}=150~J
