Discribe how continents and oceans are carried on tectonic plates

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
7 0
This question seems to be very basic .the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
hope this helped u

Bill and Tom are both towing wagons. Bill's wagon weighs 10 pounds, and Tom's wagon weighs 20 pounds. Bill is pulling his wagon
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

  • <em><u>B) Bill's wagon is moving 4 times faster than Tom's. </u></em>

<u />

Explanation:

The motion of the wagons is determined by the net force that acts upon them, according to Newton's second law of motion:

  • Force = mass × acceleration ⇒ acceleration = Force / mass

From your data, you can fill this table to compare the accelerations:

                          Bill's wagon   Tom's wagon

mass (lb)                 10                      20

force                       2F                      F

acceleration           2F/10                 F/20

Find the ratio between both accelarations:

  • Bill's wagon acceleration / Tom's wagon acceleration
  • (2F/10) / (F/20) = (2 × 20 / 10 ) = 4

Meaning that the acceleration of Bill's wagon is 4 times the acceleration of Tom's wagon.

Assuming, that both wagons start from rest, you can obtain the speeds from the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

  • Speed = acceleration × time, V = a × t.

Call the acceleration of Tom's wagon X, then the acceleration of Bill's wagon will be 4X.

So, depending on the time, using V = a × t, the speeds will vary:

t (s)                                      1         2         3        4

Speed Tom's wagon         X        2X      3X     4X  

Speed Bill's wagon           4X      8X     12X    16X

Concluding that Bill's wagon is moving 4 times faster than Tom's (option B).

Why is scientific notation important in chemistry?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Calculations in chemistry can range from large numbers to the smallest number in decimals to be more accurate in data results. When this occurs using scientific notations allows you to note down results regardless of size as accurate as possible without writing a lot of numbers.
