One plate goes under another in a _____.

1 answer:

8 0

One plate goes under another in the subduction zone. So for the given question, the correct option is option “A”. Subduction rates are not very high. They can be only a few centimeters per year and that is the reason people do not feel the effect. The plates between which the shifting occurs can either be oceanic crust or the continental crust. Mountain formations are necessarily associated with subduction movements of plates. In such cases the movements are huge and can result in earth quakes as well.

If the initial velocity of an object was -2 meters per second

Shalnov [3]

A :-) for this question , we should apply
a = v - u by t
Given - u = -2 m/s
v = -10 m/s
t = 16 sec
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = -10 - -2 by 16
a = -12 by 16
( cut 12 and 16 because 2 x 6 = 12 and
2 x 8 = 16 )
( cut 6 and 8 because 2 x 3 = 6 and
2 x 4 = 8 )
a = 3 by 4
a = 0.75 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 0.75 m/s^2.

Two strings on a musical instrument are tuned to play at 196 hz (g) and 523 hz (c). (a) what are the first two overtones for eac

Tems11 [23]

(a) first two overtones for each string:
The first string has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. The n-th overtone corresponds to the (n+1)-th harmonic, which can be found by using
$f_n = n f_1$
where f1 is the fundamental frequency.

So, the first overtone (2nd harmonic) of the string is
$f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 196 Hz = 392 Hz$
while the second overtone (3rd harmonic) is
$f_3 = 3 f_1 = 3 \cdot 196 Hz = 588 Hz$

Similarly, for the second string with fundamental frequency $f_1 = 523 Hz$ , the first overtone is
$f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 523 Hz = 1046 Hz$
and the second overtone is
$f_3 = 3 f_1 = 3 \cdot 523 Hz = 1569 Hz$

(b) The fundamental frequency of a string is given by
$f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }$
where L is the string length, T the tension, and $\mu = m/L$ is the mass per unit of length. This part of the problem says that the tension T and the length L of the string are the same, while the masses are different (let's calle them $m_{196}$ , the mass of the string of frequency 196 Hz, and $m_{523}$ , the mass of the string of frequency 523 Hz.
The ratio between the fundamental frequencies of the two strings is therefore:
$\frac{523 Hz}{196 Hz} = \frac{ \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m_{523}/L} } }{\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m_{196}/L} }}$
and since L and T simplify in the equation, we can find the ratio between the two masses:
$\frac{m_{196}}{m_{523}}=( \frac{523 Hz}{196 Hz} )^2 = 7.1$

(c) Now the tension T and the mass per unit of length $\mu$ is the same for the strings, while the lengths are different (let's call them $L_{196}$ and $L_{523}$ ). Let's write again the ratio between the two fundamental frequencies
$\frac{523 Hz}{196 Hz}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2L_{523}} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} } }{\frac{1}{2L_{196}} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }}$
And since T and $\mu$ simplify, we get the ratio between the two lengths:
$\frac{L_{196}}{L_{523}}= \frac{523 Hz}{196 Hz}=2.67$

(d) Now the masses m and the lenghts L are the same, while the tensions are different (let's call them $T_{196}$ and $T_{523}$ . Let's write again the ratio of the frequencies:
$\frac{523 Hz}{196 Hz}= \frac{ \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T_{523}}{m/L} } }{\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T_{196}}{m/L} }}$
Now m and L simplify, and we get the ratio between the two tensions:
$\frac{T_{196}}{T_{523}}=( \frac{196 Hz}{523 Hz} )^2=0.14$

Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.

A circuit has two 4Ω resistors in series with each other. What is the total resistance?

Paha777 [63]

Answer: 8Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors of 4Ω

connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 4Ω

R2 = 4Ω

Rtotal = ?

Rtotal = 4Ω + 4Ω

Rtotal = 8Ω

Thus, the total resistance of the circuit is 8Ω

Vector A is in the direction 44.0 degrees clockwise from the y-axis. The x-component of A Ax=-15.0 m. Part A: What is the y-comp

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

a) Y component of the vector =15.54 m

b) Vector magnitude = 21.6 m

Explanation:

The given vector makes 44 degree angle with Y axis, as given. This is same as 90 -44 = 46 degrees with the horizontal or X axis.

b) X component of the given vector = $A_{x}$ = A cos 46 =15

⇒ A = 15/cos 16 = 21.6 m = Total vector magnitude.

a) Y component of the vector = 21.6 sin 46 = 15.54 m

b) A = 21.6 m
