Physics
1 answer:
chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser

Explanation:

The continental crust have a thickness of about 35 to 40 km on an average, and are composed of rocks that has less denser granitic minerals such as feldspar, quartz.

On the other hand, the oceanic crust have a thickness of about 7 to 10 km on an average, and it is comprised of denser mafic rocks that contains high amount of olivine and pyroxene minerals.

Due to this, the oceanic crust subducts below the continental crust during the time of collision.

Thus, the pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser, in comparison to the South American continental crust.

Which wave has a longer period and how many times, the wave with a frequency of 7000Hz or the wave with a frequency of 21.000Hz?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

I would say the answer is the wave of 21.000Hz

Explanation:

Because it has more frequency, and as more frequency you add, the time or longer period also increases.

On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total
Stella [2.4K]

Explanation:

Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.

Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.

Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume

The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³  

the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) =  1700 m³

Explain the universal law of gravity and it's calculate from as well as the value of g​
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

According to the Newton's law of gravitational every object in the universe attracts every other objects with a force which is called gravitational force.This gravitational force is (i) directly proportional to the product of their masses and (ii) inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravitational is called the universal law because it is applicable to all the bodies either terrestrial or celestial having any shape,size,mass or at any distance apart with any medium between them,at any time(past,present or future).
