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.

On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.254 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.367 kg ), which is ini

irinina [24]

Answer:

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.

Being $m_a$ and $m_b$ the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is

$M_1=m_av_a+m_bv_b$

Since b is initially at rest

$M_1=m_av_a$

After the collision and being $v'_a$ and $v'_b$ the respective velocities, the total momentum is

$M_2=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Both momentums are equal, thus

$m_av_a=m_av'_a+m_bv'_b$

Solving for $v_a$

$v_a=\frac{m_av'_a+m_bv'_b}{m_a}$

$v_a=\frac{0.254Kg\times (-0.123 m/s)+0.367Kg (0.651m/s)}{0.254Kg}$

$v_a=0.8176 m/s$

The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a^2$

$K_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.254Kg) (0.8176m/s)^2=0.0849 J$

The final kinetic energy is

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}m_av_a'^2+\frac{1}{2}m_bv_b'^2$

$K_2=\frac{1}{2}0.254Kg (-0.123m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}0.367Kg (0.651m/s)^2=0.07969 J$

The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta K=0.07969 J - 0.0849 J = -0.00521 J$

A car increases its speed from 20km/hr to 50km/hr in seconds. Its acceleration is _____.

mash [69]

Answer:

Option D

0.83 m/s2

Explanation:

Time is assumed as 10 seconds

First, convert the speeds from km/h to m/s

20 km/h\times \frac {1000 m}{3600 s}=5.555555556 m/s \approx 5.56 m/s

50 km/h\times \frac {1000 m}{3600 s}=13.88888889 m/s \approx 13.89 m/s

Acceleration, $a=\frac {v-u}{t}$ where u and v are the initial and final velocities respectively, t is the time taken to accelerate.

Substituting 13.89 m/s for v, 5.56 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

$a=\frac {13.89-5.56}{10}=0.8333333 m/s^{2}\approx 0.83 m/s^{2}$

A small steel wire of diameter 1.0mm is connected to an oscillator and is under a tension of 5.7N . The frequency of the oscilla

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

a) $P = 2 \pi^2 (57 Hz)^2 (0.0054 m)^2 \sqrt{\pi(0.0005m)^2 (7800 \frac{kg}{m^3}) (5.7N)}= 0.349 W$

b) For this case we se that $P \propto A^2 f^2$

Since the power is constant but the frequency is doubled we will see that $A^2 \propto \frac{P}{f^2}$

So the original amplitude is $A_i \propto \sqrt{\frac{P}{f^2}}$

And if the frequency is doubled we have that:

$A^2_f \propto \frac{P}{(2f)^2}= \frac{P}{4f^2}$

$A_f \propto \sqrt{\frac{P}{4f^2}}= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{P}{f^2}}$

So then we will see that the amplitude would be reduced the half and for this case:

$A_f = \frac{0.54cm}{2}= 0.27 cm = 0.0027 m$

Explanation:

For this case we have the following data given:

$D= 1mm = 0.001 m$ represent the diameter

$r = D/2= 0.0005m$ represent the radius

$T= 5.7 N$ represent the tension

$f = 57 Hz$ represent the frequency of the oscillator

$A= 0.54 cm = 0.0054 m$ represent the amplitude of the wave

Part a

For this case we can assume that the power transmitted to the wave is the same power of the oscillator. and we have the following formula for the power:

$P= 2 \pi^2 \rho S v f^3 A^2$

This expression can be written in different ways:

$P= 2 \pi^2 \rho S \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} f^2 A^2$

$P= 2\pi^2 \rho S \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho S}} f^2 A^2$

$P= 2 \pi^2 f^2 A^2 \sqrt{S \rho T}$

Where f is the frequency , T the tension $rho= 7800 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ the density of the steel, A the amplitude and $S= \pi r^2$ the area, so then we have everuthing in order to replace and we got:

$P = 2 \pi^2 (57 Hz)^2 (0.0054 m)^2 \sqrt{\pi(0.0005m)^2 (7800 \frac{kg}{m^3}) (5.7N)}= 0.349 W$

Part b

For this case we se that $P \propto A^2 f^2$

Since the power is constant but the frequency is doubled we will see that $A^2 \propto \frac{P}{f^2}$

So the original amplitude is $A_i \propto \sqrt{\frac{P}{f^2}}$

And if the frequency is doubled we have that:

$A^2_f \propto \frac{P}{(2f)^2}= \frac{P}{4f^2}$

$A_f \propto \sqrt{\frac{P}{4f^2}}= \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{P}{f^2}}$

So then we will see that the amplitude would be reduced the half and for this case:

$A_f = \frac{0.54cm}{2}= 0.27 cm = 0.0027 m$

the diagram shows a contour map. letter a through k are reference points on the map. which points are located at the same elevat

deff fn [24]

Answer:

K and I

Explanation:

Contour maps use lines that represent spaces in a map that have the same elevation, this means that all the lines should be continuous and closed, in this case, we are not able to see the full extent of most of the lines, but since the points are located in different lines we can assume that they are at different heights, so since only point K and point I are on the same line, we know that these two points are at the same height.
