What can cause the eruption from a shield volcano to become explosive?

Physics

Mice21 [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Shield volcano is a broad, gently sloping, explosive volcano which is comprised of basaltic magma.

Shield volcano is normally not explosive but if somehow water comes in contact with this basaltic magma, then it turns into a more violent, explosive volcanoes, producing pyroclastic materials such as lapilli, lava bombs and block.

Block 1, of mass m₁ = 1.30 kg , moves along a frictionless air track with speed v₁ = 29.0 m/s. It collides with block 2, of mass
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

a. 37.7 kgm/s b. 0.94 m/s c. -528.85 J

Explanation:

a. The initial momentum of block 1 of m₁ = 1.30 kg with speed v₁ = 29.0 m/s is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 1.30 kg × 29.0 m/s = 37.7 kgm/s

The initial momentum of block 2 of m₁ = 39.0 kg with speed v₂ = 0 m/s since it is initially at rest is p₁ = m₁v₁ = 39.0 kg × 0 m/s = 0 kgm/s

So, the magnitude of the total initial momentum of the two-block system = (37.7 + 0) kgm/s = 37.7 kgm/s

b. Since the blocks stick together after the collision, their final momentum is p₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v where v is the final speed of the two-block system.

p₂ = (1.3 + 39.0)v = 40.3v

From the principle of conservation of momentum,

p₁ = p₂

37.7 kgm/s = 40.3v

v = 37.7/40.3 = 0.94 m/s

So the final velocity of the two-block system is 0.94 m/s

c. The change in kinetic energy of the two-block system is ΔK = K₂ - K₁ where K₂ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² and K₁ = final kinetic energy of the two-block system = 1/2m₁v₁²

So, ΔK = K₂ - K₁ = 1/2(m₁ + m₂)v² - 1/2m₁v₁² = 1/2(1.3 + 39.0) × 0.94² - 1/2 × 1.3 × 29.0² = 17.805 J - 546.65 J = -528.845 J ≅ -528.85 J
