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.

How far will you travel if you run for 10. minutes at 2.0 m/s?
oee [108]
We know that 1 minute= 60 seconds (or 1 min= 60 s).

10 min* (60 s/ 1 min)* (2.0 m/ 1 s)= 1,200 m.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

The final answer is 1,200 m.

Hope this helps~

A proton that has a mass m and is moving at 270 m/s in the i hat direction undergoes a head-on elastic collision with a stationa
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

V_p = 267.258 m/s

V_n = 38.375 m/s      

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

P_i = P_f

where P_i is the inicial momemtum and P_f is the final momentum

the linear momentum is calculated by the next equation

P = MV

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

so:

P_i = m(270 m/s)

P_f = mV_P + M_nV_n

where m is the mass of the proton and V_p is the velocity of the proton after the collision, M_n is the mass of the nucleus and V_n is the velocity of the nucleus after the collision.

therefore, we can formulate the following equation:

m(270 m/s) = mV_p + 14mV_n

then, m is cancelated and we have:

270 = V_p + 14V_n

This is a elastic collision, so the kinetic energy K is conservated. Then:

K_i = \frac{1}{2}MV^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(270)^2

and

Kf = \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

then,

\frac{1}{2}m(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mV_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14m)V_n^2

here we can cancel the m and get:

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

now, we have two equations and two incognites:

270 = V_p + 14V_n  (eq. 1)

\frac{1}{2}(270)^2 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2

in the second equation, we have:

36450 =  \frac{1}{2}V_p^2 +\frac{1}{2}(14)V_n^2  (eq. 2)

from this last equation we solve for V_n as:

V_n = \sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

and replace in the other equation as:

270 = V_p + 14\sqrt{\frac{36450-\frac{1}{2}V_p^2 }{\frac{1}{2} } }

so,

V_p = -267.258 m/s

Vp is negative because the proton go in the -i hat direction.

Finally, replacing this value on eq. 1 we get:

V_n = \frac{270+267.258}{14}

V_n = 38.375 m/s

A man performed 500 j of work moving a couch in his living room
Sergio039 [100]

Incomplete question. Missing part:

"it took him 10 seconds to move the couch. What was his power?"

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

The power developed is given by:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken

In this problem,

W = 500 J

t = 10.0 s

Substituting into the equation, we find

P=\frac{500}{10}=50 W

Explain how the pressure at the bottom of a container depends on the container shape and the fluid height
3241004551 [841]

The pressure at the bottom of a column of fluid in a container
depends only on the depth of the fluid, not on the shape of the
container.  The pressure is simply the result of the weight of the
fluid resting on the bottom.
