What two kinds of crust are involved in a subduction zone

Physics
1 answer:
Anarel [89]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Imagine a negative test charge sitting at the coordinate origin (0,0). Two bunches of positive charges are located on the x-axis
Oxana [17]

Answer:

the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

from the Image, OA = 1, OB = AC = 1

so using Pythagoras theorem

a² = b² + c²

a = √( b² + c² )

so

OC = √( OB² + AC² )

we substitute

OC = √( OA² + AC² )

OC = √( 1² + 1² )

OC = √( 1 + 1 )

OC = √2

Coordinate of C( 1, 1 )

Hence, the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

Two parallel metal plates are at a distance of 8.00 m apart.The electric field between the plates is uniform directed towards th
dezoksy [38]
<h2>The K.E of the charge is 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J</h2>

Explanation:

When the charge of 2e is placed in between the plates .

The force applied on this charge by plates is = q E

here q is the magnitude of charge = 2 e = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

and E is the magnitude of electric field intensity

The work done = Force x displacement

Thus W = q E x S

here S is displacement

Therefore W = 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 4 x 8

= 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

This work will be converted into the kinetic energy of charge .

Thus K.E = 1.02 x 10⁻¹⁷ J

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 3.3 m long, its mass is 0.5
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The linear mass density of rope is 0.16 kg/m.

Explanation:

mass, m = 0.52 kg

force, F = 47 N

length, L = 3.3 m

(a) The linear mass density of the rope is defined as the mass of the rope per unit length.

Linear mass density = m/L = 0.52/3.3 = 0.16 kg/m

A crate is sitting in the center of a flatbed truck. As the truck accelerates to the east, the crate moves with it, not sliding
ozzi

Answer:

4. To the east

Explanation:

Friction forces always act in the opposite direction that an object tends to move in. In this case, when the truck accelerates to the east, the crate tends to move to the west due to inertia (the tendency for an object to remain at rest or at constant speed). In order to stop the crate from moving, there needs to be a friction force to the east.
