How are volcanoes distributed

Physics
1 answer:
Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

K=0.023J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.15

Velocity v=0.5m/s

Angular Velocity \omega=8.4rad/s

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

K=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2+\frac{1}{2}R^2\omega^2)

K=\frac{1}{2}0.15(0.5^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.038)^2.(8.4rad/s^2))

K=0.023J

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The  angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST....<br>Determine the value of F...​
aleksley [76]
F should be 10. If The Whole top is 50cm, then we should subtract 10n and 30n which gives us 10.

Or it could be 15 if both top and bottom are 25. 10+15= 25.
