The correct answer is option C

The formation of new layer of floor in the ocean is called seafloor spreading. It is a geological process which is caused due to the volcanic activity.

In this the new oceanic crust is formed due to the volcanic activity and the older rocks move away from the mid oceanic ridge.

The new layer formed lies in the middle of the ocean and the older rocks or floor moves aside.

This process occurs due to the divergent plates and the gap between them increases forming new oceanic ridge.

Consider two objects whose masses are 100 g and 200 g. The 100 g object strikes the 200 g object with a force of 500 N. Accordin
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Mass of first objects, m₁= 100 g = 0.1 kg  

Mass of second object, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg  

Velocity of m₁ before collision, v₁= 2 m/s  

Velocity of m₂ before collision, v₂ = 1 m/s  

Velocity of m₁ after collision, v₃ = 1.67 m/s  

Velocity of m₂ after collision = v₄

According to the law of conservation of momentum:  

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision  

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+ m₂v₄

⇒ 0.1 * 2 + 0.2 * 1 = 0.1 * 1.67 + 0.2 * v₄  

⇒ 0.4 = 0.67 + 0.2 * v₄

The movement of fluids between cellular compartments ________. the movement of fluids between cellular compartments ________. is
zlopas [31]
<span>The movement of fluids between cellular compartments is regulated by osmotic and hydrostatic forces.</span>
<span>

Hydrostatic pressure<span> is the force exerted by a fluid against a wall which causes movement of fluid between compartments. This pressure is important for exchanging plasma and nutrients between capillaries and surrounding tissues</span> and also in the nephrons (kidneys) where ensures proper filtering of the blood to form urine.</span> <span>Fluid also moves between compartments along an osmotic gradient (the difference in concentration of solutes on one side of the cell membrane to that on the other side). Water constantly moves into and out of fluid compartments via osmotic gradient.</span>
