Seafloor spreading occurs because molten material is rising from beneath the Earth's crust and rising to the surface. Hope this helps : D

Part III: If a mouse and an elephant both run with the same kinetic energy, can you say which is running faster? Use the space b
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The mouse runs faster to have the same kinetic energy as the elephant.

Explanation:

Note from the equation given, mass (m) is directly proportional to KE. This means an elephant with more mass will have more KE, therefore, for the mouse to compensate, it has to run faster because its KE is smaller because of its small mass. If both run at the same speed, the elephant would have thousands of times more kinetic energy than the mouse. So the mouse has to run faster so that its speed compansates for its smaller weight.

A bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

5.997m/s

Explanation:

We were told to calculate the speed of the ball,

Given speed of sound as 340 m

And we know that the sound of the ball hitting the pins is at 2.80 s after the ball is released from his hands.

Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing - time the sound travels).

Speed= S/t

Where S= distance traveled

t= time of hearing - time the sound travels

time=time for ball to roll+timefor sound to come back.

time of sound=16.5/340

=0.048529secs

solving for speedof ball

Then,Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing - time the sound travels).

=16.5/(2.80-0.048529) m/s = 5.997m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball is

5.997m/s

Three balls are kicked from the ground level at some angles above horizontal with different initial speeds. All three balls reac
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .
