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>

1. At a location in Europe, it is necessary to supply 1000 kW of 60-Hz power. Only power sources available operate at 50 Hz. It
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The speed of a synchronous motor in relation to its frequency can be represented with the formula:

n_{sm}= \dfrac{120f_{se}}{P}

where,

the electrical frequency f_{se} is measured in Hz

the number of poles = P

For us to estimate the number of poles to have 50 Hz - 60 Hz Power, then we need to relate the frequencies of the above equation.

i.e

\dfrac{120(50 \ Hz)}{P_1}= \dfrac{120( 60 \Hz)}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{6000 \ Hz}{P_1}= \dfrac{7200 \ Hz}{P_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}=\dfrac{7200}{6000} \\ \\ \\ \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}= \dfrac{12}{10}

Thus, we can conclude that 10 poles synchronous motor is attached with 12 poles synchronous generator in order to convert 50 Hz to 60 Hz power.

g A 4-foot spring is elongated167feet long after a mass weighing 16 pounds is attached to it. The medium throughwhich the mass m
marta [7]

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

attached below is a detailed solution of the question

Two identical resistors connected in series have an equivalent resistance of 4 ohms. The same two resistors, when connected in p
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1 ohm

Explanation:

since there are two identical resistors, one resistor will be

R = \frac{4}{2} =2ohm [ proven as in series R_{e} = 2 + 2 = 4ohm ]

to calculate the equivalent resistance when in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{e} }  = \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

so,

\frac{1}{R_{e} } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}

R_{e} = 1ohm
