Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges. Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

Name three situations in which force is created. describe the cause of the force in each situation

Darina [25.2K]

One situation in which force is created is when an object is moving and a force is created to stop that movement. Second situation is when an object is moving circularly and a force is created to move it towards the middle of the circle. The third situation is when a force is created that goes in the same direction as an object that is in movement.

A crate lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 22.5 ∘ to the horizontal, with μk = 0.19.

ValentinkaMS [17]

A) $2.03 m/s^2$

Let's start by writing the equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the incline:

Parallel:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k R = ma$ (1)

where

m is the mass

g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity

$\theta=22.5^{\circ}$

$\mu_k = 0.19$ is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

a is the acceleration

Perpendicular:

$R-mg cos \theta =0$ (2)

From (2) we find

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$mg sin \theta - \mu_k mg cos \theta = ma$

Solving for a,

$a=g sin \theta - \mu_k g cos \theta = (9.8)(sin 22.5)-(0.19)(9.8)(cos 22.5)=2.03 m/s^2$

B) 5.94 m/s

We can solve this part by using the suvat equation

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Here we have

v = ?

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=2.03 m/s^2$

s = 8.70 m

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(2.03)(8.70)}=5.94 m/s$

Cart 1 of mass m is traveling with speed 2vo in the +x-direction when it has an elastic collision with cart 2 of

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

$m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\$

Kinetic energy conservation

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2$

Solve the system

A 0.60 kg rubber ball has a speed of 2.0 m/s at point A, and kinetic energy of 7.5 J at point

aliina [53]

<span>Let's first off calculate the kinetic energy using the formula 1/2MV^2. Where the mass, M, is 0.6Kg. And speed, V, is 2. Hence we have 1/2 * 0.6 * 2^2 = 1.2J. Since kinetic energy is energy due to motion; hence at point B the rubber has a KE of 1.2J and not 7.5J. So I would say that only the Mass and speed is actually true; While it's kinetic energy is not true.</span>
