In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is

il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

g A bowling ball with a mass of 3.86 kg and a radius of 0.161 m starts from rest at a height of 2.5 m and rolls down a 48.4 o sl

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

$v=1.5m/s$

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy gets transformed into translational and rotational kinetic energy, so we can write $mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{I\omega^2}{2}$ . Since $v=r\omega$ (the ball rolls without slipping) and for a solid sphere $I=\frac{2mr^2}{5}$ , we have:

$mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{2mr^2\omega^2}{2*5}=\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{5}=\frac{7mv^2}{10}$

So our translational speed will be:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{10gh}{7}}=\sqrt{\frac{10(9.8m/s^2)(0.161m)}{7}}=1.5m/s$
