Continental shelf is the name of the area between the shoreline and the continental slope.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The continental shelf refers the continent' edge which presents under the ocean. It expands from the continent' edge to a drop points referred as shelf break. As this break, the underwater edge of the continental shelf initiates to plummet deep into the seabed.

According to convention, the continental shelf of the coastal state includes the sinking area of the coastal state, the seabed and undersea region' subsoil extending beyond its territorial sea to its outer edge point of the continent or 200 km of nautical miles without extending the outer periphery of continental margin.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?
Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

A football player collides with another player. The force of the collision is
iragen [17]

Answer:

Impulse = 1000 Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force of collision = 1000 kg•m/s.

Time = 1 seconds

To find the impulse;

Mathematically, the impulse experienced by an object or body is given by the formula;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Impulse = 1000 * 1

Impulse = 1000 Ns

Find the value of F1 + F2 + F3.<br>​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

F = 0.78[N]

Explanation:

The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.

<u>For F₁</u>

<u />F_{y}=2[N]<u />

<u>For F₂</u>

F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N]

<u>For F₃</u>

<u />F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N]<u />

Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:

F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N]

Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.

F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N]
