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.

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 11 mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.88 and 0.41

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The temperature is 2584.5 K

Explanation:

Given:

Activation energy $Q = 80000$ $\frac{J}{mol}$

Preexponential $D= 6.2 \times 10^{-7}$ $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Diffusion flux $J = 6.4 \times 10^{-10}$ $\frac{kg}{m^{2} s}$

Thickness of plate $\Delta x = 11 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Concentration of carbon at two faces $\Delta C = (0.88 - 0.41 ) = 0.47$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

From the formula of temperature in terms of diffusion flux,

$T = (\frac{Q}{R} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{D\Delta C}{J\Delta x} )}$

Where $R =$ 8.314 $\frac{J}{mol.K}$ ( gas constant )

Put the values and find the temperature,

$T = (\frac{80000}{8.314} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{6.2 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.47 }{6.4 \times 10^{-10}\times 11 \times 10^{-3} } )}$

$T = 2584.5$ K

Therefore, the temperature is 2584.5 K

A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m

butalik [34]

First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

A simple pendulum consists of a mass m (the "bob") hanging on the end of a thin string of length l and negligible mass. The bob

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The pendulum frequency is (c) the same, or very close to it

Explanation:

The simple pendulum corresponds to a simple harmonic movement, to reach this approximation in the expression of the force the sine of the angle (θ) approaches an angle value, this is only true for small angles, generally less than 15º

Sine (15th) = 0.2588

The angle in radians is 15º π / 180º = 0.26180.2588 / 0.2618

The difference between these two values is less than 1.2%

for smaller angle the difference is reduced more

Therefore, the period for both the 5º and 10º angles is almost the same
