Europe and North America are moving apart by about 5 m per century. As the continents separate, new ocean floor is created along

the mid-Atlantic Rift. If the rift is 5000 km long, what is the total area of new ocean floor created in the Atlantic each century?

Answer:

Area = 25km² in a century.

Explanation:

Given

Spread Rate = 5m/century

Length of rift = 5000km

Convert to metres

Length of rift = 5000 * 1000m

Length of rift = 5,000,000m

In one century, the additional area to Atlantis = (Rift Length) * (Spread rate) * 1 century

Atea = 5,000,000 m * 5m/century * 1 century

Area = 25,000,000m² in a century

----- Convert to km²

Area = 25,000,000km² * 1m²/1,000,000km²

Area = 25km² in a century.

Hence, the total area of new ocean floor created in the Atlantic each century is 25km²

(b) 360 days into seconds.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

(b) We know that,

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

So, we found that, 1 day = 86400 s

We need to find the 360 days into seconds. So,

1 day = 86400 s

360 days = 86400×360

360 days = 31104000 seconds

(d) Weight of a body, W = 600 N

Acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.7 m/s²

Weight, W = mg

m is mass of body

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{600}{3.7}\\\\m=162.16\ kg

(e) Mass of body, m = 100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon, 1.6 m/s²

Weight, W = 100 × 1.6

W = 160 N

A car is travelling at a constant speed of 26.5 m/s. Its tires have a radius of 72 cm. If the car slows down at a constant rate
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Magnitude of angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is the ratio of linear acceleration and radius.

That is

        \texttt{Angular acceleration}=\frac{\texttt{Linear acceleration}}{\texttt{Radius}}\\\\\alpha =\frac{a}{r}

Radius = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Linear acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a=\frac{11.7-26.5}{5.2}=-2.85m/s^2

Angular acceleration

        \alpha =\frac{a}{r}=\frac{-2.85}{0.72}=-3.95rad/s^2

Angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²  

Magnitude =  3.95 rad/s²

You are designing a generator with a maximum emf 8.0 V. If the generator coil has 200 turns and a cross-sectional area of 0.030
shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.1 Hz

Explanation:

In a generator, the maximum induced emf is given by

\epsilon= 2\pi NAB f

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

A is the area of the coil

B is the magnetic field strength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

N = 200

A=0.030 m^2

\epsilon=8.0 V

B = 0.030 T

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the frequency of the generator:

f=\frac{\epsilon}{2\pi NAB}=\frac{8.0 V}{2\pi (200)(0.030 m^2)(0.030 T)}=7.1 Hz
