Answer:

Deep ocean trenches

Explanation:

Subduction zones are Earth's lithosphere (the crust and as well as the upper non-convecting part of the upper mantle) gravitational collapsing sites. Along convergent plate boundaries, subduction zones exist where one sheet of oceanic lithosphere merges with any other layer. So, in order to find  depth of water in the sea, we can find these subduction zones. The best places are a deep ocean- trench like the Mariana Trench in the pacific ocean.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

So a pulse is a part of a mechanical wave, and mechanical waves are energy transfer trough some medium, in this case a stretched spring. So the correct answer is (A) energy only. The pulse cant be transferred into mass.

Starting from rest, the distance a freely-falling object will fall in 0.50 second is?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1.23 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance covered by a free-falling object starting from rest in a time t is

y=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have

t = 0.50 s

So the distance covered is

y=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(0.50 s)^2=1.23 m

A baseball of mass 300-g is hit at a velocity of 40 m/s. If the ball is caught by the third baseman and the ball penetrates 2.0
OlgaM077 [116]

The force is -12,000 N

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the acceleration of the ball, by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where:

v = 0 is the final velocity of the baseball (it comes to rest)

u = 40 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the displacement of the ball

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-40^2}{2(0.02)}=-40,000 m/s^2

Now we can calculate the average force exerted on the ball, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 300 g = 0.3 kg is the mass of the ball

a=-40,000 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting,

F=(0.3)(-40,000)=-12,000 N

where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.
