Mountain ranges and belts are built through the process called what

Physics

nordsb [41]3 years ago

They are built through the process of what called as Orogenesis. Orogenesis is the process of the mountain making, upheaval or formation. It is also called Orogeny. Orogeny is the process which the mountains are formed. The process of mountain formation especially when it is faulting. The making of the mountains is also Orogenesis. An orogeny is an event which leads to mountain deformation due to some interaction between Earth Lithosphere and tectonic plates. When continental plates crumple and pushed forward to form one or more mountain ranges an orogen or orogenic belt develops, it involves many geological processes called orogenesis.

A plane wave with a wavelength of 500 nm is incident normally ona single slit with a width of 5.0 × 10–6 m.Consider waves that r
kaheart [24]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.

The Difference in phase is given by

\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}

Where

\delta = Horizontal distance between two points

\lambda = Wavelength

From our values we have,

\lambda = 500nm = 5*10^{-6}m

\theta = 1\°

The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for

\delta = dsin\theta

Therefore using the equation we have

\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}

\Phi = \frac{2\pi(dsin\theta)}{\lambda}

\Phi = \frac{2\pi(5*!0^{-6}sin(1))}{500*10^{-9}}

\Phi= 1.096 rad \approx = 1.1 rad

Therefore the correct answer is C.

When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in
pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point

Spring #1 has a force constant of k, and spring #2 has a force constant of 2k. Both springs are attached to the ceiling. Identic
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, \frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{2k}

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, \frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}

                                                              ⇒\frac{w^{2}}{4k}

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is \frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=2:1
