<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Accretionary wedge

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • An accumulation of different sedimentary and metamorphic rocks combined with scraps of ocean crust is called<em><u> accretionary wedge.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Accretionary wedge results from the sediments that are accreted onto the subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary.</u></em>
  • At the abduction zone,<em><u> the lower plate scrapes along the bottom of the overriding plate as it enters the earth, an action which erodes material that consists of rock and sediment that then accumulate onto the overriding plate in an accretionary wedge.</u></em>

<span>Accretionary wedge. The accretionary wedge is formed from several sediments: marine sediments, but also erosional materials from volcanoes. ocean floor basalts, volcanic island masses, pelagic sediments, trench sediments and other materials transported by gravity. All these sediments are in the non-subducting tectonic plate of the Earth.</span>

What is the difference between work done by fuel and work done by moving object??<br>​
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

work done by fuel is conversion of chemical energy into mechanical whereas work done by moving object is due to its displacement by the application of force. actually, both of them give same meaning

Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

12.35m

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must consider the following:

1. The car moves with constant speed, which means that the distance traveled is equal to the multiplication of time by speed.

X = VT

we solve the equation for time

T=\frac{x}{V} =\frac{27}{17} =1.588s

2. The bolt moves with constant acceleration, with acceleration of 9.81m / s ^ 2, so we could apply the following equation.

note=remember that "a uniformly accelerated motion", means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

Y= VoT-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed

=0

T = time

=1.588s

g =gravity=9.8m/s^2

Y =  bridge height

solving

Y= \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\Y=(0.5)(9.8)(1.588^2)=12.35m

Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms. In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3m/sec^2 , what force
Nitella [24]
The equation you would use here is F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is the mass in kilograms (must be in kilograms in order for the units to match on both sides), and a is acceleration in meters per second squared. Therefore, you do: 65kg x .3m/s^2= FF. That'll give you the answer.

A projectile is launched at an angle into the air at velocity v and angle 0. Determine its vertical acceleration.
chubhunter [2.5K]

The acceleration due to gravity only points downward with magnitude g. The angle of the projectile doesn't matter.
