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.

Two forces act at a point in the plane. The angle between the two forces is given. Find the magnitude of the resultant force. fo
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

408N at 89.89°

Explanation:

This problem requires that we resolve the force vectors into

x- and y

-componentsOnce this is done, we can add the components easily, as the one 2-dimensional problem will be two 1-dimensional problems.

Finally, we will convert the resultant force into standard form and find the equilibrant.

Resolve into components:

F1x =F1cos 180°= 232(−1)=−232N

F1y=F1sin180°=0N

F2x=F2cos(−140°)=194(−0.766)=−148.6N

F1y=F1sin(−140°)=232(−0.643)=−149.17N

Note the change of the angle used to give the direction of

F2. Standard angles (rotation from thex

-axis; counterclockwise is +) should be used to avoid sign errors in the results.

Now, we add the components:

Fx=F1x+F2x=−380.6N

Fy=F1y+F1y=−148.17N

Technically, this is the resultant force. However, it should be changed back into standard form. Here's how:

F=√(Fx)2(Fy)2=√(−380.6)^2(−148.17)^2=408N

θ=tan−1(−148.17−380.6)

=89.89°

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Analog transfer information quicker, example electromagnetic waves which are used in our modern day phones.

Explanation:  Digital signals are a more reliable form of transmitting information because an error in the amplitude or frequency value would have to be very large in order to cause a jump to a different value. Signals are composed of infinite possible values. Signals are composed of only two possible values: 0 or 1.

Dejamos caer un objeto desde lo alto de una torre y medimos el tiempo que tarda en llegar al suelo que resulta ser de 0,02 minut
Harman [31]

Answer: a) 11.76 m/s  b) 7.056 m

Explanation:

The described situation is as follows:

An object is dropped from the top of a tower and when measuring the time it takes to reach the ground that turns out to be 0.02 minutes.

This situation is related to free fall, this also means we have constant acceleration, hence the equations we will use are:

V_{f}=V_{o}+at (1)  

{V_{f}}^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}+2ad (2)  

Where:  

V_{f} Is the final velocity of the object

V_{o}=0 Is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

d is the height of the tower

t=0.02min=1.2 s is the time it takes to the object to reach the ground

b) Begining with (1):

V_{f}=0+at (3)  

V_{f}=at=(9.8 m/s^{2})(1.2 s) (4)  

V_{f}=11.76 m/s (5)  This is the final velocity of the object

a) Substituting (5) in (2):

(11.76 m/s)^{2}=0+2(9.8 m/s^{2})d (6)  

Clearing d:

d=\frac{(11.76 m/s)^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})} (7)  

d=7.056 m (8)  This is the height of the tower
