Answer:

5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.

7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.

8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?

wlad13 [49]

When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science.

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

A car engine applies a force of 65,000 N, how much work is done by the engine as it pushed a car a distance of 75 m?

kupik [55]

Answer:

$workdone = force \times distance \\ = 65000 \times 75 \\ = 4,875,000 \: J$

A box with a mass of 7 kilograms is pushed up a ramp to a height of 5 meters. What is the work done against the force of gravity

muminat

The potential energy of the box when it gets to the top is

(mass) (gravity) (height)

= (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (5 m)

= 343 joules.

That's the work done against the force of gravity. Any
additional work is done against the force of friction.

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: $5.214(10)^{11} N$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".
