The currents responsible for powering the movement of tectonic plates is convection currents which occur in the mantle. As the hotter, less dense liquid rises it displaces the cooler more dense liquid which moves the tectonic plates out of allignment

If the opening to the harbor acts just like a single-slit which diffracts the ocean waves entering it, what is the largest angle
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The angle that the wave would be \theta = sin ^{-1}\frac{2 \lambda}{D}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  the  opening to  the  harbor acts just like a single-slit so a boat in the harbor that at angle equal to the second diffraction minimum would be safe and the  on at angle greater than the diffraction first minimum would be slightly affected

  The minimum is as a result of destructive interference

       And for single-slit this is mathematically represented as

               D sin \ \theta =m \lambda

where D is the slit with

          \theta is the angle relative to the original direction of the wave

         m is the order of the minimum j

        \lambda is the wavelength

Now since in the question we are told to obtain the largest angle at which the boat would be safe

      And the both is safe at the angle equal to the second minimum then

    The the angle is evaluated as

           \theta = sin ^{-1}[\frac{m\lambda}{D} ]

Since for second minimum m= 2

The  equation becomes

               \theta = \frac{2 \lambda}{D}

Knowing Newton’s 2nd Law, how would you rearrange it to solve for acceleration.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Force / mass

Explanation:

Divide mass on both sides to get acceleration by itself leaving you with mass below force hence divide force by mass

You attach a 2.90 kg mass to a horizontal spring that is fixed at one end. You pull the mass until the spring is stretched by 0.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Explanation:

The spring is stretched by .5 m and then released that means its amplitude of oscillation A is 0.5 m .

A = 0.5 m

After the release at one extreme point , the mass comes to rest again at another extreme point after half the time period ie

T / 2 = .3 s

T = 0.6 s

Angular velocity

ω = \frac{2\times \pi}{T}

ω = \frac{2\times \pi}{0.6}

ω = 10.45

Maximum velocity  = ω A

ω and  A are angular velocity and amplitude of oscillation.

Maximum velocity  = 10.45 x .5

= 5.23 m /s
