Answer:

C. Sea floor spreading.

Explanation:

The geological process by which the tectonic plates separate from each other in the seabed allowing the rise of magma is known as sea floor spreading.

In this process, magma comes into contact with cold water and solidifies rapidly, generating a ridge at the bottom of the ocean, as is shown in the image.

A 7.0-μC point charge and a point charge are initially extremely far apart. How much work does it take to bring the point charge

vazorg [7]

Answer:1.008 ×10^-14/rJ

Where r is the distance from.which the charge was moved through.

Explanation:

From coloumbs law

Work done =KQq/r

Where K=9×10^9

Q=7×10^-6C

q=e=1.6×10^-19C

Micro is 10^-6

W=9×10^9×7×10^-6×1.6×10^-19/r=100.8×10^-16/r=1.008×10^-14/rJ

r represent the distance through which the force was used to moved the charge through.

A thin spherical spherical shell of radius R which carried a uniform surface charge density σ. Write an expression for the volum

ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

$\rho (r) \ \alpha \ \delta (r -R)$

$\rho (r) = k \ \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r = R)$

$\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R \ \ or \ \ r>R---- (1)$

To find the constant k, we examine the total charge Q which is:

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA$

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2$

∴

$\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

Thus;

$k * 4 \pi \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * R^2= \sigma \times R^2$

$k = R^2 --- (2)$

Hence, from equation (1), if k = $\sigma$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r=R)}$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \ at \ \ rR}$

To verify the units:

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ * \ \delta (r-R)}$

↓ ↓ ↓

c/m³ c/m³ × 1/m

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \ sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d \phi \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \ d \phi \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma \int ^R_0 * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma *R^2$ since $( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )$

$\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma }$

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. what maximum height does she

Mumz [18]

<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>
