Describe how Ridge Push drives plate motion and discuss how it works to move Earth’s plates

Physics
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist
e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > 38  \frac{ft}{s^2}  x  \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x  \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27  \frac{mi}{h^2}

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as

The initial velocity is 50mi/h (v_1=50)

When it stops the final velocity is (v_2=0)

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s =  2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134


So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > 0.0134 mi *  \frac{5280ft}{1mi}  = 70.8 ft
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

And air rifle pellet of mass 2 g Is fired into a block of modelling clay mounted on a model railway track. The trunk and modelli
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

0.0816 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Momentum of the pellet just before it hits the modelling clay is = (mass of the pellet+ mass of the truck clay)×initial velocity of pellet.

P =(M+m)u...................... Equation 1

Where P =  initial momentum of the pellet, m = mass of the pellet, u = initial speed of the pillet, M = mass of the truck

Given: m = 2 g = 2/1000 kg = 0.002 kg, u = 0.8 m/s, M = 0.1 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (0.002+0.1)0.8

P = (0.102)0.8

P = 0.0816 kgm/s

Witch is true according to the law of conservation of energy?
Elanso [62]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is one of the fundamental laws of science that helps to understand energy in nature.

Energy is the ability to do work. There are different forms of energy.

Generally, energy is classified into potential and kinetic forms of energy. Potential energy is the energy at rest in a body. It is due to the position of the body.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

There are different forms of kinetic and potential energy and they are related by the law of conservation of energy.

The law states that "in an isolated system, energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed from one form to another".

An isolated system is a system in which there is no exchange of matter and energy.

Due to this we know that no new energy is created or destroyed, they are only transformed from one form to the other.

What is the speed of a 55.0 kg skydiver who has 7.81 x 104 J of kinetic energy?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v=53.3m/s

Explanation:

Ek=1/2mv²

7.81×10⁴=1/2×55.0v²

v= the square root of 7.81×10⁴/0.5×55.0

v=53.3m/s
