Compared to the thickness and density of the continental crust of South America, the oceanic crust of the Pacific floor is______

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.

In several of the questions you've posted during the past day, we've already said that a wave with larger amplitude carries more energy.  That idea is easy to apply to this question.

#1 Not sure where to start. This is for AP Physics!
yaroslaw [1]

First,

\rho=\dfrac mV

where \rho is density, m is mass, and V is volume. We can compute the volume of the roll:

2.7\,\dfrac{\mathrm g}{\mathrm{cm}^3}=\dfrac{1275\,\mathrm g}V

\implies V\approx472.22\,\mathrm{cm}^3\approx4.72\,\mathrm m^3

When the roll is unfurled, the aluminum will be a rectangular box (a very thin one), so its volume will be the product of the given area and its thickness x. Note that we're assuming the given area is not the actual total surface area of the aluminum box, but just the area of the largest face (i.e. the area of one side of the unrolled sheet of aluminum).

So we have

V=Ax

where A is the given area, so

4.72\,\mathrm m^3=\left(18.5\,\mathrm m^2\right)x

\implies x\approx0.255\,\mathrm m=255\,\mathrm{mm}

If we're taking significant digits into account, the volume we found would have been V=470\,\mathrm m^3, in turn making the thickness x=250\,\mathrm{mm}.

Sixty identical drippers, each with a hole of diameter 1.00 mm, are used to water a yard. If the water in the main pipe of diame
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a

   V =  5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3

b

   v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The number of identical drippers is  n =  60

   The diameter of each hole in each dripper is  d =  1.0 \  mm =  0.001 \  m  

   The diameter of the main pipe is  d_m  =  2.5 \  cm  =  0.025 \  m

    The speed at which the water is flowing is  v  =  3.00 \  cm/s =  0.03 \  m/s

Generally the amount of water used in  one hour = 3600 seconds is mathematically represented as

          V =  A *  v  *  3600

Here A is the area of the main pipe with value

         A =  \pi  * \frac{d^2}{4}

=>       A = 3.142   * \frac{0.025^2}{4}

=>        A =  0.0004909 \  m^2

So  

=>   V =  0.0004909  *  0.03  *  3600

=>  V =  5.30 *10^{-2} \ m^3

Generally the area of the drippers is mathematically represented as

       A_1=  n  * \pi \frac{d^2}{4}

=>    A_1 =  60   * 3.142 *  \frac{0.001 ^2}{4}

=>    A_1 =  4.713 *10^{-5} \  m^2

Generally from continuity equation we have that  

         Av =  A_1 v_1

=>      0.0004909 *  0.03 =  4.713 *10^{-5} *  v_1

=>   v_1 = 0.3127 \ m/s

Which option below best explains why the second law of thermodynamics is
Llana [10]

''The freezer and room are not an isolated system, since electrical energy flows in.'' is the correct statement.

<h3>What is Second Law of Thermodynamics?</h3>

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that "in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than the energy of the initial state."

So we can conclude that ''The freezer and room are not an isolated system, since electrical energy flows in.'' is the correct statement.
