How do convection currents influence plate tectonics

Physics

jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

  • Convection happens when particles with a great deal of warmth vitality in a fluid or gas move and replace particles with less warmth vitality.  
  • Lighter (less thick), warm material ascents while heavier (progressively thick) cool material sinks. It is this development that makes course examples known as convection flows in the environment, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.  
  • Huge amount of pressure and heat inside the earth causes the hot magma to stream in convection ebbs and flows. These flows cause the development of the structural plates that make up the world's outside.  
  • Plates at our planet's surface move in view of the extreme warmth in the Earth's center that causes liquid shake in the mantle layer to move.
  • It moves in an example considered a convection cell that structures when warm material ascents, cools, and in the long run sink down. As the chilled material sinks off, it is warmed and rises once more.

Nina [5.8K]

The average velocity over the interval 6\le t\le 10 is

\dfrac{x(10)-x(6)}{10\,\mathrm s-6\,\mathrm s}=\dfrac{6\,\mathrm m-2.67\,\mathrm m}{4\,\mathrm s}=0.8325\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

where x(t) is the person's position at time t. I've taken the liberty of estimating x(6)\approx2.67\,\mathrm m. The closest choice among the answers is 0.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}.

Q1: An object with a charge of 1.2 C is located 4.5 m away from a second object that has a charge of 0.36 C. Find the electrical
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

a) F= 0,19  [N]   according to problem statement

b) F = 0,19*10⁹ [N]  using the right value of K

Explanation:

The force between two electric charges is according to Coulomb´s law is:

F = K * q₁*q₂ / d²    where  q₁  and q₂ are the charges on body one and body 2 respectively, d is the distance between the two bodies and K is a constant  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². The problem establishes to use        K = 8,988100 N.m²/C².

NOTE: To value of is :  K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². I am going to solve the problem using K = 8,988100 N.m²/C² if that information was an error, all we need to get the right answer is multiply the result by 10⁹

Then:

F = 8,988100 * 1,2* 0,36 / (4,5)²     [ N*m²/C² ] * [ C*C*/m²]

F = 3,882859/ 20,25  [N]

F= 0,19  [N]

The force is of repulsion since the two charges are positive and in the direction of the straight line which passes through the centers of the bodies
