Seafloor spreading<span> is a process that </span>occurs<span> at mid-ocean ridges, where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge. </span>Seafloor spreading<span> helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics.

Hope this helps</span>

Answer:

The answer is a for Plato users.

Explanation:

Since the angle of the refracted ray moves away from the normal, it must be traveling in a faster medium.

A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 4.0 cm.
Anna35 [415]

the wavelength equation is

speed (of light in this case)= wavelength (m) x frequency

3x10^8m/s / .07m = f

frequency= 4 285 714 286 hertz

 

 

 

b) Total distance= 4.8 km (4,800 m)

Speed = 3x10^8 m/s

d=st

t= d/s

t= 4,800 m/3x10^8m/s

<span>t= 1x10^-5 seconds</span>

With what magnitude of force does a ball of mass 0.75 kilograms need to be hit so that it accelerates at the rate of 25 meters/s
serious [3.7K]

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

               = (0.75 kg) x (25 m/s²)

               =  (0.75 x 25)  kg-m/s²

               =    18.75 newtons .

Note that even though we're talking about a 'hit', the acceleration only
lasts as long as the bat is in contact with the ball.  Once the ball leaves
the bat, it travels at whatever speed it had at the instant when they parted. 
Any change in its speed or direction after that is the result of gravity, air
resistance, and the fielder's mitt.  I learned a lot about these things a few
weeks ago, since I live in Chicago, about 6 miles from Wrigley Field, in
a house full of Cubs fans.
