Answer:

Sea-floor spreading occurs in the oceanic ridges. In there, volcanic activity, together with the gradual movement of the bottom, form new oceanic crust. This allows a better understanding of the continental drift explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

The greatest evidence for Sea-floor spreading is the oceanic trenches, the oceanic ridges, the magma protruding to the surface and the new seafloor.

In previous theories,  continents were assumed to be transported across the sea. Harry Hess, in the 1960s, proposed the idea that the seabed itself moves  as it expands from a central point. The theory is now accepted, and the phenomenon is thought to be caused by convection currents in the upper layer of the mantle.

A 3.00 x 10^2-W electric immersion heater is
andre [41]

Answer

t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Heat\ Supplied\ By \ Heater = Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Glass + Heat\ Absorbed\ by\ Water\\Pt = m_gC_g\Delta T_g + m_wC_w\Delta T_w\\

where,

P = Electric Power of Heater =  300 W

t = time required = ?

m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg

m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg

C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C

C_w =  specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C

ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C

Therefore,

(300\ W)(t) = (0.3\ kg)(840\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)+(0.25\ kg)(4184\ J/kg.^oC)(85^oC)\\

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>

How can you prove the mechanical nature of sound by a simple experiment
Kruka [31]

Answer:

That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.

The magnetic field in a solenoid is . A circular wire of radius 8 cm is concentric with a solenoid of radius 2 cm and length d =
defon

Answer:

6.03 mV

Explanation:

length of solenoid, L = 2 m, N = 12000, di/dt = 40 A/s,

Magnetic field due to solenoid

B = μ0 n i = μ0 N i / L

dB/dt = μ0 N / L x di / dt

dB /dt = (4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 12000 x 40) / 2 = 0.3 T/s

Induced emf, e = rate of change of magnetic flux

e = dΦ / dt = A x dB / dt

e = 3.14 x 0.08 x 0.08 x 0.3 = 6.03 x 10^-3 V = 6.03 mV
