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.

To clean the outside of your house you rent a small high-pressure water sprayer. The sprayer’s pump delivers slow-moving water a
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Velocity is 134.16 m/s

Explanation:

Slow moving water pressure is the dynamic pressure. Dynamic pressure is actually the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid particle. It is equal to the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure and also can be derived from Bernoulli's equation.

Formula for Dynamic Pressure (P) is

               P = 0.5 d v²

Where d is density of fluid and v is the velocity.

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

P = 9000000 Pa

V = ?

                      P = 0.5 d v²  

         9000000 = 0.5 × 1000 × v²

                       v = √(9000000 ÷ 500)

                       v = 134.16 m/s

How do low energy electromagnetic waves compare with high energy electromagnetic waves? Select all
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Gate control theory of pain

Explanation:

The gate control theory of pain sates that non-painful input closes the nerve gates to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system (brain).

Therefore, the idea that large fibers in the sensory nerves can prevent impulses from reaching the brain and thus prevent the sensation of pain is part of the gate control theory of pain.

Consider that a clay model of a tiger has a mass of 0.195 kg and glides on ice at a speed of 0.75 m/s. It hits another clay mode
juin [17]

Answer:

The final velocity after the collision is 0.27 m/s.    

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tiger, m = 0.195 kg

Initial speed of tiger model, v = 0.75 m/s

Mass of another clay model, m' = 0.335 kg

Initially, second model is at rest, v' = 0

We need to find the final velocity after the collision. It is a case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

mv+m'v'=(m+m')V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv+m'v'}{(m+m')}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.195\times 0.75}{(0.195 +0.335 )}\\\\V=0.27\ m/s

So, the final velocity after the collision is 0.27 m/s.
