The oceanic crust slides under the continental crust due to the differences in their densities. The continental rust is more felsic (contains more silica) which makes it lighter than the oceanic crust which is more mafic (contains more fe and mg)<span />

When you walk across the ground and push on it with your feet...
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The ground pushes back on your feet with equal force

Explanation:

When you walk across the ground and push on it with your feet, the ground pushes back on your feet with an equal and opposite force.

This interpretation and knowledge is gotten from Newton's third law of motion.

It states that "action and reaction force are equal and opposite in nature".

  • The force applied to a body responds with an opposite force in the other direction.
  • Therefore, the reaction force is of equal magnitude but directed in another direction.

A student is flying west on a school trip from Winnipeg to Calgary in a jet that has an air velocity of 792 km/h.The direction t
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] is 4.5° S of W

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Velocity of Jet = 792 km/h

Direction of jet velocity = West

Velocity of wind = 62.0 km/h

Direction of wind velocity = North

Therefore, the jet has to have a component of 62.0 km/h South of West to compensate for the wind velocity

The direction of the plane, θ° South of West (S of W) to compensate for the wind is given as follows;

Tan \left (\theta   \right )= \dfrac{62}{792} = \dfrac{31}{396}

Therefore;

\theta = tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{31}{396}   \right ) = 4.476^{\circ} \approx 4.5^{\circ}

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] = 4.5° S of W.

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2440J/kg °C. How many joules of energy will be required to heat 150g ethanol to 35°C if
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Required energy = 4758 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).    

Given data :

Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 35°C

Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

Energy = E = ?

Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

E = m × c × ΔT

E = 0.15 × 2440 × 13

E = 4758 J
