Why are rift zones common places for igneous rock to form

2 answers:

5 0

Rift zone is the area on the Earth in which plates of the earth's crust are moving away from each other, forming a zone of fissures (gaps). From that zone of fissures, lava (or magma) erupts. That lava when cooled down makes the igneous rock on the surface of the Earth. That is the reason why the rift zones are the common places for the igneous rocks to form.

They are commonplaces because they have deep cracks where magma can come from. And we all know that igneous rock is molten lava that has been cooled, so this answer will make sense.

During nuclear fission and fusion, matter that seems to disappear is actually converted into

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Energy (I need one more brainlist can i has?)

Explanation:

- Nuclear fusion occurs when two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus

- Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy, unstable nucleus breaks apart into two or more lighter nuclei

In both processes, the mass of the products is always smaller than the mass of the initial nuclei. This means that part of the initial mass has been converted into something else: into energy, which is released in the process.

The amount of energy released in the process can be calculated by using the famous Einstein's equivalence:

where m is the difference between the mass of the product and the initial mass of the nuclei, and c is the speed of light.

A train whose proper length is 1200 m passes at a high speed through a station whose platform measures 900 m, and the station ma

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

Use the terms "force", "weight", "mass", and "inertia" to explain why it is easier to tackle a 220 lb football player than a 288

Tomtit [17]

Answer 
The mass of 220 lb football has less than 288 lb football. So, it will be easier to move it since it will require less force. The heavy football will have a bigger momentum. Since 288 lb has more weight than 220 lb, it will have bigger inertia making it difficult for the players to stop it.
This makes it easier to tackle 220 lb football than 288 lb football.

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon

LiRa [457]

Answer:

241.8 N.

Explanation:

The force on branch provides a reaction to the ape's weight force plus the centripetal force needed to keep the gibbon in a circular motion of radius 0.60 m.

Centripetal force = mv^2/r

F = mg + mv²/r

F = m(g + v²/r)

where,

m = mass

= 9 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity

= 9.8 m/s²

v = 3.2 m/s

r = 0.60 m

F = 9 * (9.8 + 3.2²/0.60)

= 241.8 N.

Two teams of nine members each engage in tug-of-war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an

diamong [38]

Answer:

(a) Acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Tension in rope = 65.106 N

Explanation:

Total mass of first team = 68 * 9 = 612 kg

Total force of first team = 1350 * 9 = 12150 N

Total mass of second team = 73 * 9 = 657 kg

Total force of seconds team = 1365 * 9 = 12285 N

Difference in force = 12285 - 12150 = 135 N (towards the second team as it has more force)

(a) For acceleration we get:

F = m * a

135 = (mass of both teams) * a

a = 135 / (612 + 657)

acceleration = 0.1063 m/s^2 (Second team wins)

(b) Since we know the acceleration of the first team (pulling being pulled towards the second team at an acceleration of 0.1063 m/s^2) , we can find out the force required to move them:

Force required for first team = mass of first team * acceleration

Force required = 612 * 0.1063

Force required = 65.106 N

This is the force exerted on the first team through the rope, so the tension in the rope will also be 65.106 N.
