What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the crust?

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

The deeper you go, the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up.

enyata [817]3 years ago

Answer:

Pressure is force per unit area. In this case the force is primarily the weight of the overlying rock. So , in very simple terms, the deeper you go the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up. It is basically the same thing that happens in the ocean and in the atmosphere.

In Hooke’s law, what does the x represent?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:   C

X = Displacement of the spring

Hooke's law: It states that the applied force F is proportional to the  displacement of spring .

            F ∝ x

            Where, x = displacement of spring in meters

                         F = force, measured in Newtons

In another words The force F is equal to the constant K times the disparagement.

            F = k.x

            Where k is constant and it depends on elastic material.

            Spring has restorative force.  

If the spring moves in opposite direction then,

           F = - k.x

A negative sign indicates that the spring resists and force is to the left. The compression of the spring is greater than the restoring force.  

   Example: A mass 'm' stretches a spring at a displacement x.

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.

Consider two thin, coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b푏 (a
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

electric potential, V = -q(a²- b²)/8π∈₀r³

Explanation:

Question (in proper order)

Consider two thin coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b (b < a) and charges q and -q, respectively. Determine the potential at large distances from the rings

<em>consider the attached diagram below</em>

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the outer charged ring with radius a is as given below

Va = q/4π∈₀ [1/(a² + b²)¹/²]

Va = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

Also

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the inner charged ring with radius b is

Vb = \frac{-q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

Sum of the potential at point p is

V = Va + Vb

that is

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } + \frac{-q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }]

the expression below can be written as the equivalent

\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }  = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + a^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }

likewise,

\frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }  = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + b^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }

hence,

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]

1/r is common to both equation

hence, we have it out and joined to the 4π∈₀ denominator that is outside

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]

by reciprocal rule

1/a² = a⁻²

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} - {(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2}]

by binomial expansion of fractional powers

where (1+a)^{n} =1+na+\frac{n(n-1)a^{2} }{2!}+ \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)a^{3}}{3!}+...

if we expand the expression we have the equivalent as shown

{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } )

also,

{(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )

the above equation becomes

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [((1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } ) - (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } - 1+\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } +\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]\\\\V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } -\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} }]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * \frac{1}{2r^{2} } *(b^{2} -a^{2} )

V = \frac{q}{8\pi e0 r^{3} } * (b^{2} -a^{2} )

Answer

V = \frac{q (b^{2} -a^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }

OR

V = \frac{-q (a^{2} -b^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }

Solar evaporation ponds are shallow so that the sun can heat them up, causing the water to evaporate, which increases the salt c
ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.
