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

Physics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]2 years ago
7 0
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>

A wood block is sliding up a wood ramp. if the ramp is very steep, the block will reverse direction at its highest point and sli
DanielleElmas [232]
<span>Answer: So it gets to the top of the ramp and stops. The parallel force pushing it down the ramp is mg sin θ, but for it to move, the frictional force must be overcome. This frictional force is μmg cos θ, where μ is the coefficient of static friction. For movement, then, mg sin θ > μmg cos θ ==> tan θ > μ ==> θ > arctan 0.5 = 26.565° ==> θ = 27°</span>

Determine the magnitude of the momentum of a ... 107-kg halfback moving eastward at 8 m/s.The halfback's momentum in kgm/s is:
Veronika [31]

Given:

The mass of the halfback is m = 107 kg

The speed of the halfback is v = 8 m/s

To find the momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of the halfback is

\begin{gathered} p=\text{ mv} \\ =\text{ 107}\times8 \\ =\text{ 856 kg m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the momentum of the halfback is 856 kg m/s

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)
