Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.
Answer with Explanation:
We are given that




a.Length of segment,l=20 m
Magnetic force ,F=

Substitute the values

Hence, the magnetic force exert by each segment on the other=0.0119 N
b.We know that when current carrying in the wires are in same direction then the force will attract to each other.
Hence, the force will be attractive.
The instantaneous velocity of the object is its speed and direction at that instant.
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)
change in angular speed = (zero - 2,600 RPM) = -2,600 RPM
time for the change = 10 sec
Angular acceleration = -2600 RPM / 10 sec = -260 rev / min-sec
(-260 rev/min-sec) x (1 min / 60 sec) = <em>-(4 1/3) rev / sec²</em>
Since the acceleration is negative, the motor is slowing down.
You might call that a 'deceleration' of (4 1/3) rev/sec² .
The average speed is 1/2(2,600 + 0) = 1,300 rev/min = (21 2/3) rev/sec.
Number of revs = (average speed) x (time) = (21 2/3) x (10sec) = <em>(216 2/3) revs</em>
