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

Physics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 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>

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

a. 652.68N

b. -2349.65J

c. -3116.12J

d. 5465.77J

e. Zero

Explanation:

a. According to equilibrium of forces, the force of gravity is equal to the sum of the frictional force and force exerted by the man in the opposite direction (since they're both resistant forces).

Fg = Fm + Fr

Fm = Fg - Fr

Fm = mgsin(28°) - umgcos(28°)

u = coefficient of frictional force.

Fm = 330*9.8*sin28 - 0.4*330*9.8*cos28

Fm = 1518.27 - 865.59

Fm = 652.68N

b. Work done by man is:

Wm = -Fm * d

Wm = -652.68 * 3.6

Wm = -2349.65J

c. Work done by friction force:

W(Fr) = -Fr * d

W(Fr) = -865.59 * 3.6

W(Fr) = -3116.12J

d. Work done by gravity:

Wg = Fg * d

Wg = 1518.27 * 3. 6

Wg = 5465.77J

e. Net work done on the piano is:

Work done by friction + work done by gravity + work done by man

= -3116.12 + 5464.77 + (-2349.65)

= 0J

Plants may get yellow if they get less nitrogen.give reasons.​
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

Nutrient deficiency causes yellowing of leaves. One of such nutrient is Nitrogen.

  • Leaves are green because of a pigment in them called chlorophyll.
  • The chlorophyll in leaves are used by plant to absorb light energy needed for photosynthesis.
  • Other wavelength of light is absorbed by the chlorophyll and the green color is reflected.
  • Nitrogen is an important nutrient that is needed to produce chlorophyll in plants which in turn helps the process of photosynthesis.
