Answer:
Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other. ... As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense
Explanation:
We can use the kinematic equation

where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance
we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
Answer:
<em>The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T</em>
Explanation:
<u>Simple Pendulum</u>
A simple pendulum is a mechanical arrangement that describes periodic motion. The simple pendulum is made of a small bob of mass 'm' suspended by a thin inextensible string.
The period of a simple pendulum is given by

Where L is its length and g is the local acceleration of gravity.
If the length of the pendulum was increased to 9 times (L'=9L), the new period of oscillation will be:


Taking out the square root of 9 (3):

Substituting the original T:

The new period of oscillation is D) 3.0 T
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that

Generally the equation for momentum is mathematically given by

Therefore
T-Joe momentum 


Here we have to add the two measurements given in the question
The measurement values are given as 1.0090 cm and 0.02 cm.we have to add them on the basis of significant figure rules.
As per the addition rule in terms of significant figures
1-First we have to select the number of significant digits after the decimal point of each quantity.
2-Now we have to remember that during the addition ,the resultant of two quantities will follow the quantity having least number of significant figures after the decimal point.
3-Here we are considering the minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points not the minimum number of significant figures in case of multiplication and division
Now we have to add these two quantities as per the above rule-
1.0090 cm +0.02 cm
=1.0290 cm
Here the result will follow 0.02 which has minimum number of significant figures after the decimal points.
Hence we have to round off the number from 9 of 1.0290
As 9 is greater than 5 ,so he actual result will be 1.03 cm
