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>

Sarah heated two cubes of aluminum to 50°C. Cube A has a volume of four cubic centimeters. Cube B has a volume of two cubic cent
dalvyx [7]

Cube A has more thermal energy than cube B.

Explanation:

It is obvious that cube A has gained more thermal energy compared to cube B.

From the description of the experiment, both cubes had the same temperature which is 50°C. Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

Thermal energy is a form of energy expressed as heat in a body.

Cube A has a higher volume because it has gained more thermal energy than Cube B.

Thermal energy increases the rate of vibration of atoms in the crystal lattice of the solid. The more the thermal energy, the more the vibration. This is  why Cube A has expanded so much and changed volume.

Two points are located on a rigid wheel that is rotating with decreasing angular velocity about a fixed axis. Point A is located
Nata [24]

Answer:

4. Both points have the same instantaneous angular velocity

Explanation:

Angular velocity is a measure of the the number of rotations per unit time. This does not depend on the radius of the wheel. Hence, all points on the wheel have the same angular velocity. This invalidates option 1.

The centripetal acceleration is given by the product to the square of the angular velocity and the radius or distance from the centre. A and B are located at different distances from the centre. Hence, they have different centripetal acceleration. This invalidates option 2.

The tangential acceleration depends on the linear velocity which itself is a product of the angular velocity and the distance from the centre. Hence, it is different for both points because they are at different distances from the centre.

Since both A and B are fixed points on the wheel, they move through equal angles in the same time. In fact, for any other fixed point, they all move through the same angle in the same time. This invalidates option 5.

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1350 V. What is the proton's kinetic energy, in elect
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

1 eV = 1.60 * 10^-19 J      work done in accelerating electron thru 1 V

KE (total energy) = 1350 ^ 1 eV     (note proton goes from +  to -)

KE = 1.60 * 10^-19 * 1350 = 2.16 * 10^-16 Joules

1/2 m v^2 = KE = 2.16 * 10^-16 J

v^2 = 4.32 * 10E-16 / 1.67 * 10-27 = 2.59 * 10^11

v = 5.09 * 10^5 m/s
