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 spring is compressed 0.035 m inside a dart gun. (K=500 N/m). The spring has elastic energy. Calculate it.
NARA [144]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J

Help me its emergency I need a correct answer please if you don't know then please dont guess​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is bound to occur when light travels from dense medium to less dense.

From the table given in the question above, we obtained:

Refractive Index of Crown glass = 1.52

Refractive Index of Asphalt = 1.635

From the above, Crown glass has a lower refractive index when compared to Asphalt. This means that Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.

Therefore, total internal reflection will not occur when light travels from Crown glass to Asphalt because Crown glass is less dense than Asphalt.
