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

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>

The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25°C, the pres

Answer:0.0704 kg

Explanation:

Given

initial Absolute pressure $(P_1)$ =210+101.325=311.325

$T_1=25^{\circ}\approx 298 K$

$V=0.025 m^3$

$T_2=50^{\circ}\approx 323 K$

as the volume remains constant therefore

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{311.325}{298}=\frac{P_2}{323}$

$P_2=337.44 KPa$

therefore Gauge pressure is 337.44-101.325=236.117 KPa

Initial mass $m_1=\frac{P_1V}{RT_1}=\frac{311.325\times 0.025}{0.0287\times 298}$

$m_1=0.91 kg$

Final mass $m_2=\frac{P_2V}{RT_2}=\frac{311.325\times 0.025}{0.0287\times 323}$

$m_2=0.839$

Therefore $m_1-m_2$ =0.91-0.839=0.0704 kg of air needs to be removed to get initial pressure back

How much time does it take light to travel from the moon to the earth, a distance of 384000 km?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1.28second

Explanation:

The speed of light is constant everywhere, it is

299,792,458m/s=299,792.458km/s

Therefore it takes

$\frac{384000}{299792458} = 1.28sec$
