How does the observed change in the sea floor age support he theory of sea floor spreading

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A heat engine is a device that converts internal energy into work. Internal energy is increased by the addition of heat. The efficiency of a heat engine is a measurement of how efficiently it works. Efficiency compares the amount of useful energy extracted from a process to the total energy input. The heat engine will be more efficient if the percentage is higher.

A 1300 kg car traveling at 35 mph rear-ends a 1000 kg car traveling 25 mph. Just after the collision (but before the driver’s sl

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer

given,

before collision

mass of car A = m_a = 1300 kg

velocity of car A = v_a = 35 mph

mass of car B = m_b= 1000 kg

velocity of car B = v_b = 25 mph

after collision

V_a = 30 mph

V_b = 31.5 mph

Initial momentum

$P_1 = m_av_a + m_b v_b$

$P_1 = 1300 \times 35+ 1000 \times 25$

$P_1 =70500 Kg.m/s$

final momentum

$P_2 = m_aV_a + m_b V_b$

$P_2 = 1300 \times 30+ 1000 \times 31.5$

$P_2 =70500 Kg.m/s$

here initial momentum is equal to the final momentum of the car.

hence, momentum is conserved in the collision.

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}$

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which letters represent constructive interference in this diffraction pattern? Check all that apply.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer: A, C and D

Explanation:

Interference occurs when two waves superimpose to form a wave having a smaller or larger amplitude.

Constructive interference is said to occur when two waves superimpose to produce a wave having larger amplitude. It occurs for the waves having phase difference of multiple of 2π. On the other hand, destructive interference occurs for the waves having phase difference π, 3π, ..and so on.

In the given picture, the bright regions represent constructive interference where as the dark ones between them represent destructive interference. Thus, the correct letters representing constructive interference are: A, C and D.

The collision of car 2 is more violent (because more impulse is exerted)

Explanation:

The collision which is more violent is the one in which more impulse is exchanged.

The impulse exerted by each car on the wall is equal to the change in momentum of the car:

$I=m\Delta v$

where

m is the mass of the car

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

For the car 1,

m = 1000 kg

$\Delta v = -100 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=-27.8 m/s$ (the sign is negative because the velocity of the car has changed from 100 km/h to 0 km/h)
