Answer:

Oceanic crust and continental crust

Explanation:

A subduction zone is normally between oceanic crust which is made of basalt and continental crust which is made of granite. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. So when oceanic crust collides with continental crusts, it subsducts underneath the continental crust since it is denser.

Answer:10842.33m/s

Explanation:

F=qvBsine

V=f/(qBsine)

V=(3.5×10^-2)÷(8.4×10^-4×6.7×10^-3×sin35)

V=10842.33m/s

Suppose you observe two stars and you know they have the same luminosity. If one star is twice as far away as the other, the mor

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

$e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}$

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by

$e_{2}=\frac{E}{4\pi (2r)^{2}}=\frac{E}{8\pi r^{2}}=\frac{e_{1}}{4}$

Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 10 mi long and 5.9 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. T

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

ω = 0.05 rad/s

Explanation:

We consider the centripetal force acting as the weight force on the surface of the cylinder. Therefore,

$Centripetal Force = Weight\\\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = mg\\\\here,\\v = linear\ speed = r\omega \\therefore,\\\frac{(r\omega)^{2}}{r} = g\\\\\omega^{2} = \frac{g}{r}\\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}\\$

where,

ω = angular velocity of cylinder = ?

g = required acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of cylinder = diameter/2 = 5.9 mi/2 = 2.95 mi = 4023.36 m

Therefore,

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\ m/s^{2}}{4023.36\ m}}\\\\$
