What Occurs at divergent boundaries and creates new seafloor

Physics
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]3 years ago

Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

A man is standing on a weighing machine on a ship which is bobbing up and down with simple harmonic motion of period T=15.0s.Ass
STALIN [3.7K]

Well, first of all, one who is sufficiently educated to deal with solving
this exercise is also sufficiently well informed to know that a weighing
machine, or "scale", should not be calibrated in units of "kg" ... a unit
of mass, not force.  We know that the man's mass doesn't change,
and the spectre of a readout in kg that is oscillating is totally bogus.

If the mass of the man standing on the weighing machine is 60kg, then
on level, dry land on Earth, or on the deck of a ship in calm seas on Earth,
the weighing machine will display his weight as  588 newtons  or as 
132.3 pounds.  That's also the reading as the deck of the ship executes
simple harmonic motion, at the points where the vertical acceleration is zero.

If the deck of the ship is bobbing vertically in simple harmonic motion with
amplitude of M and period of 15 sec, then its vertical position is 

                                     y(t) = y₀ + M sin(2π t/15) .

The vertical speed of the deck is     y'(t) = M (2π/15) cos(2π t/15)

and its vertical acceleration is          y''(t) = - (2πM/15) (2π/15) sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - (4 π² M / 15²)  sin(2π t/15)

                                                                = - 0.1755 M sin(2π t/15) .

There's the important number ... the  0.1755 M.
That's the peak acceleration.
From here, the problem is a piece-o-cake.

The net vertical force on the intrepid sailor ... the guy standing on the
bathroom scale out on the deck of the ship that's "bobbing" on the
high seas ... is (the force of gravity) + (the force causing him to 'bob'
harmonically with peak acceleration of  0.1755 x amplitude).

At the instant of peak acceleration, the weighing machine thinks that
the load upon it is a mass of  65kg, when in reality it's only  60kg.
The weight of 60kg = 588 newtons.
The weight of 65kg = 637 newtons.
The scale has to push on him with an extra (637 - 588) = 49 newtons
in order to accelerate him faster than gravity.

Now I'm going to wave my hands in the air a bit:

Apparent weight = (apparent mass) x (real acceleration of gravity)

(Apparent mass) = (65/60) = 1.08333 x real mass.

Apparent 'gravity' = 1.08333 x real acceleration of gravity.

The increase ... the 0.08333 ... is the 'extra' acceleration that's due to
the bobbing of the deck.

                        0.08333 G  =  0.1755 M

The 'M' is what we need to find.

Divide each side by  0.1755 :          M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) G

'G' = 9.0 m/s²
                                       M = (0.08333 / 0.1755) (9.8) =  4.65 meters .

That result fills me with an overwhelming sense of no-confidence.
But I'm in my office, supposedly working, so I must leave it to others
to analyze my work and point out its many flaws.
In any case, my conscience is clear ... I do feel that I've put in a good
5-points-worth of work on this problem, even if the answer is wrong .

Sunspots are dark because ___________. a. the strong magnetic field inhibits the currents of hot gas rising from below. b. of sh
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) the strong magnetic field inhibits the currents of hot gas rising from below.

Explanation:

Sunspots are dark because they are a little cooler than the photo sphere.

The magnetic field inhibits the strong rising currents of hot gas,allowing it to cool the surface.

A 35.4 kg girl is riding on the back of a 15.23 kg cart. the cart and the kid are both moving eastward at 4.25 m/s when she step
Grace [21]

Answer:

The final  velocity of the cart is  v_c = 7.02 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the girl is  m_g  = 35.4 \ kg

     The mass of the cart is  m_c  = 15.23 \ kg

      The speed of the cart and  kid(girl) is  v = 4.25 \ m/s

     The final velocity of  the girl is v_g  = 3.06 \  m/s

Let assume that velocity eastward is  positive and velocity westward is negative (Note that if we assume vise versa it wouldn't affect the answer )

   The total momentum of the system before she steps off the back of the cart

is mathematically evaluated as

        p__{T1}} = (m_g + m_c) * v

substituting values

        p__{T1}} = (35.4 + 15.23) * 4.25

        p__{T1}} =215.17 \  kg m /s

The total momentum after she steps off the back of the cart is mathematically evaluated as

        p__{T2}} = (m_g * v_g ) +(  m_c * v_c )

Where  v_c  is the final velocity of the cart

substituting values    

      p__{T2}} = (35.4 * 3.06 ) +(  15.23 * v_c )

       p__{T2}} = 108. 324 + 15.23  v_c

Now according to the law of conservation of momentum

       p__{T1}} =p__{T2}}

So  

       215.17 \  kg m /s =  108. 324 + 15.23  v_c

=>      v_c = 7.02 \  m/s

Since the value is positive it implies that the cart moved eastward
