Subduction occurs as a result of:__________

Physics
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a) Gravity pulling the older and denser lithosphere downward.

Explanation:

Earth's crust is made of plates which float on mantle . Plates are of two types

1 ) oceanic plates which are older and heavier 2 ) continental plates which are lighter . Continents are situated on continental plates. Due to relative motion , oceanic plate, because of its  heavy weight,  goes under lighter continental plate . This is called subduction.

A 2.0 x 10^3-kilogram car travels at a constant speed of 12 meters per second around a circular curve of radius 30. meters. What
Vikentia [17]

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²

<h3>Circular motion</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal acceleration can be calculated by using the formula

a_{c} =\frac{v^{2} }{r}

Where a_{c} is the centripetal acceleration

v is the velocity

and r is the radius

From the given information

v = 12 \ m/s

and r = 30 \ m

Therefore,

a_{c} =\frac{12^{2} }{30}

a_{c} =\frac{144 }{30}

a_{c} = 4.8\ m/s^{2}

Hence, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car as it goes round the curve is 4.8 m/s²

Gravity anything with mass as gravity we know the earth has gravity because you and I are standing on earth and not floating off
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

F=mg

Explanation:

Close to Earth's surface, the force of gravity that pulls an object towards the ground is

F=mg (2)

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 close to Earth's surface

This is an approximation of the general formula of gravity valid only close to Earth's surface. The more general formula is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2} (1)

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the object's mass

r is the distance of the object from Earth's center

At the Earth's surface,

r = R (Earth's radius), and by calling the following factor

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

we see that eq.(1) becomes eq.(2).
