Answer

Magma is less dense compared to the surrounding rock.

the overlying rock creates pressure which forces the magma to be directed upward.

Explanation:

at high temperatures the magma is liquid form with the high energy which causes the formation of bonds and the pressure build up creates the increase channeling of the liquid.as the temperature decreases the magma moves into the surface

Explanation:

Any rock will melt once it reaches a high enough temperature. This liquid rock is known as magma when it is beneath the crust of the Earth. If it bubbles to the surface and pushes its way out, it is known as lava. This happens most often in a volcano.

Magma rising from the depth occurs when hot mantle rock rises to shallower depths in the Earth because it is less dense than surrounding rock and because the weight of the overlying rock creates pressure that squeezes magma upward.

It will take a shorter amount of time for the cylinder to go down the plane down off the plane Because more pressure is applied one going up then going down there’s no pressure at all it’s the gravity is helping

Answer:

As waves get closer to a beach they decrease in height.

Explanation:

As a wave crest approaches the shoreline, it is usual that one end of the line is closer to the shoreline than the other. The implication of this is that the energy in a wave is also spread over quite a larger area,this in turn reduces the height of the waves. In other words, refraction often makes waves smaller.

Waves are caused by wind. Wave height in the open ocean is determined by three factors. The greater the wind speed the larger the waves. The greater the duration of the wind (or storm) the larger the waves. The greater the fetch (area over which the wind is blowing - size of storm) the larger the waves.

By what factor must we increase the amplitude of vibration of an object at the end of a spring in order to double its maximum sp

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$A'=2A$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system can be expresed as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\E=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}$

When the spring is in its equilibrium position, that is $x=0$ , the object speed its maximum. So, we have:

$\frac{k(0)^2}{2}+\frac{mv_{max}^2}{2}=\frac{kA^2}{2}\\A^2=\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}$

In order to double its maximum speed, that is $v'{max}=2v_{max}$ . We have:

$A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(v'_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{m(2v_{max})^2}{k}}\\A'=\sqrt{\frac{4mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2\sqrt{\frac{mv_{max}^2}{k}}\\A'=2A$

A bottle of soda always has a space between the cape and the top of the liquid. Explain<br>

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

All soft drinks contain water. When soft drink bottles are chilled in sub-zero temperatures, the water on account of its anomalous expansion expands. Thus, to provide space for expanding water, soft drink bottles are not completely filled as otherwise they will burst.
