Answer: C ; Rising magma from the seafloor.

Explanation:

Underwater volcanoes erupting can cause the magma to rise above the seafloor therefor hardening and eventually creating islands. Upon this factor, you might know that another word for an oceanic island is a volcanic island, this is important to remember so that when you see a question like this one you will automatically know the answer without having to checkback.

The natural factor that is most likely to support the formation of an oceanic island is the rise of magma from the seafloor. Oceanic islands are also otherwise known as volcanic islands. When volcanoes erupt, they create layers of lava that break the surface of the water. When the tops of the volcanoes emerge, an island is created.<span> </span>

A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear

Talja [164]

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

$f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v}$ and $f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v}$ when moving towards observer

With $f_o$ of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

$76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}$

$f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

Similarly, with $f_o$ of 65 we have

$65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}$

Now

$f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into any of the first two equations then we obtain

$f_s=70.07 Hz$

If the light wave has a wavelength of 10m what would be its velocity

s2008m [1.1K]

If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:

$v = f \cdot \lambda$

with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

$v = 600THz\cdot 10m = 6\cdot 10^{14} \frac{1}{s}\cdot 10 m = 6\cdot10^{15}\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)

As charges move in a closed loop, they

As charges move in a closed loop, they gain as much energy as they lose.

<h3>What is principle of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the principle of conservation of energy, in a closed or isolated system, the total energy of the system is always conserved.

The energy gained by the particles or charges in a closed system is equal to the energy lost by the charges.

Thus, we can conclude the following based on principles of conservation of energy;

As charges move in a closed loop, they gain as much energy as they lose.
