What controls whether a lava flow is aa or pahoehoe

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Basaltic lava

Basaltic lava generally takes two distinct forms known by the Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa. Pahoehoe has a smooth wavy surface that resembles twisted rope. It advances by extruding molten toes of lava beneath a thin, flexible crust. As it travels pahoehoe lava often changes to blocky flows called aa.

A 2498 kg car is moving at 17.1 m/s slams on its brakes and slows to 2.6 m/s. What is the magnitude (absolute value) of the impu

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Impulse-Momentum Theorem</u>

These two magnitudes are related in the following way. Suppose an object is moving at a certain speed $v_1$ and changes it to $v_2$ . The impulse is numerically equivalent to the change of linear momentum. Let's recall the momentum is given by

$p=mv$

The initial and final momentums are, respectively

$p_1=mv_1,\ p_2=mv_2$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1=m(v_2-v_1)$

It is numerically equal to the Impulse J

$J=\Delta p$

$J=m(v_2-v_1)$

We are given

$m=2498\ kg,\ v_1=17.1\ m/s,\ v_2=2.6\ m/s$

The impulse the car experiences during that time is

$J=2498(2.6-17.1)=2498(-14.5)$

J=-36221 Kg.m/s

The magnitude of J is

J=36221 Kg.m/s

A spacecraft of mass 1500 kg orbits the earth at an altitude of approximately 450 km above the surface of the earth. Assuming a

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

1.28 x 10^4 N

Explanation:

m = 1500 kg, h = 450 km, radius of earth, R = 6400 km

Let the acceleration due to gravity at this height is g'

g' / g = {R / (R + h)}^2

g' / g = {6400 / (6850)}^2

g' = 8.55 m/s^2

The force between the spacecraft and teh earth is teh weight of teh spacecraft

W = m x g' = 1500 x 8.55 = 1.28 x 10^4 N

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7m/s2. We want

lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

It is given that, Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10 m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has a magnitude of 3.7 m/s².

The second equation of kinematics gives the relationship between the height reached and time taken by it.

Here, the ball is droped under the action of gravity. The value of acceleration due to gravity on Mars is positive.

We want to know how many seconds the basketball is in the air before it hits the ground. So, the formula is :

$\Delta x=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

t is time taken by the ball to hit the ground

$v_o$ is initial speed of the ball

So, the correct option is (A).

Mariulka [41]

Earthquake S - Waves are examples of transverse waves. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Other good examples of transverse waves are an oscillating string and light waves. A wave is a kind of disturbance that or an oscillation that travels through space.
