<h2>Oceanic Crust - Answer</h2>

Like continental crust, however, oceanic crust is destroyed in subduction zones. The lavas are generally of two types: pillow lavas and sheet flows. Pillow lavas appear to be shaped exactly as the name implies—like large overstuffed pillows about 1 metre (3 feet) in cross section and 1 to several metres long.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the c
irinina [24]

288.51 N is  the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.

Given

Mass 0f beam = 40 Kg

The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi_nge on the beam is 86.62 N

Angle between the beam and cable is = 90°

Angle between beam and the horizontal component = 31°

As the system of the beam, hi_nge and cable are in equilibrium.

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge can be calculated by -

F =The  horizontal component of force + the vertical component of force  

F = 86.62 N + 40 × 9.8 × sin 31°

F =86.62 N + 201.89 N

F = 288.51 N

Hence, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge is 288.51  N.

How can you increase the potential energy of a bouncing ball
ad-work [718]

Answer:

When you lift the ball, you are doing work to increase its gravitational potential energy. When you then release the ball, gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy as the ball falls. When the ball hits the floor, the ball's shape changes as it flattens against the floor.
