If the seafloor is spreading why isn't earth getting bigger?

Physics

tatyana61 [14]3 years ago

Well there are areas of the seafloor that are spreading due to tectonic plates moving apart but there are also places where these plates meet and one slides under the other (subduction zones) as a result, the earth is not getting bigger since these two actions cancel each other out.<span>

Suppose you have an object tied to a rope and are rotating it over your head in uniform circular motion. What would have to do t
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

We must duplicate the length of the rope (R'=2R) to get

F'=\frac{1}{2}F

Explanation:

The equation of the centripetal force is given by:

F_{c}=ma_{c}

F_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where:

R is the length of the rope

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

If we want to reduce the centripetal force in half, we can duplicate the length of the rope (R'=2R), which means:

F'_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R'}

F'_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{2R}

F'_{c}=\frac{1}{2}F_{c}

I hope it helps you!

One of the heating systems we talked about in this course comprises of a system of ducts. What is the process by which heat is t
madreJ [45]

Answer: b- covection

Explanation:

Conduction: It is the circulation or transfer of heat through a metal or solid. For example, heat generated inside an enclosure can be transferred to the outer surface by means of conduction.so therefore conduction can not be the answer.

Convection is the circulation or tansfer of heat from a surface by means of a fluid such as air. Natural convection happens when air is heated: it expands, rises, and is replaced by cooler air. The amount of convection may be increased by using a fan to increase the flow of air.Likewise,Ducts are used to circulate air in the system. Since, air is circulated in the system, heat is transfered by convection.Hence,the answer is B-convection.

Radiation: Here, energy is radiated through the air by means of electromagnetic radiation. Since heat transfer through raidation does not involve contact between the heated object and the heated source,so energy is lost as light or through electromagnetic radiation. So C is wrong.

You start walking from a point on a circular field of radius 0.5 km and 1 hour later
Feliz [49]

Answer:

1). average velocity= displacement/time

= here displacement is zero

= 0/1

= 0 m/s

2). average speed= total distance/time

=2πr/1

=(2×22/7×5/10)/1

22/7

3.14 km/h
