Theres many things tht can be created by divergent boundary like a submarine mountain range such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge or a volcanic activity in the form of fissure eruptions and a shallow earthquake activity, and so many more!
Hope this helps!(:

Divergent plate boundaries are locations where plates are moving away from one another. This occurs above rising convection currents. The rising current pushes up on the bottom of the lithosphere, lifting it and flowing laterally beneath it. This lateral flow causes the plate material above to be dragged along in the direction of flow. At the crest of the uplift, the overlying plate is stretched thin, breaks and pulls apart. hope this helps

A package is dropped from an air balloon two times. In the first trial the distance between the balloon and the surface is Hand

enyata [817]

Answer:

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

$v=gt$

And the distance traveled downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Replacing into the first equation:

$\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Rationalizing:

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}$

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}$

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

$\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}$

Taking out the square root of 4:

$\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}$

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2$

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If M be mass of moon and m be mass of spacecraft

potential energy of moon -spacecraft system

= - G M m / R where R is radius of orbit of spacecraft

kinetic energy of spacecraft in the orbit

= 1/2 m v² = GMm / 2R

Total energy of spacecraft

= GMm / 2R - G M m / R

= - GMm / 2R

for spacecraft to leave the orbit, energy required

= GMm / 2R

= 6.67259 x 10⁻¹¹ x 7.36 x 10²² x 14800 / (2 x 1.79877 x 10⁶)

= 202035.8 x 10⁵ J .
