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

Physics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]2 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>

A man pushes a heavy cart with a force exerted of 250 Newtons to keep it moving at a constant velocity. What is the kinetic fric
miv72 [106K]

It can't be less than 250 N or the cart wouldn't move at all. That means there is only 1 answer. It's between not enough info or 250 N. The answer is 250 N. If it was any more, there would be acceleration.

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

    R = 400 m

    d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

    L = 2 pi R

    L = 2 pi 400

    L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

    lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

    1 lap = 2513 m

    d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

    d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

    t Julian = 1675/1609 12

    t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile
