According to the theory of plate to tonics how do two plates interact to form large mountain range

Physics

The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is separated into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. Mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a Continental plate. The continuous compression over time cause the rocks to be faulted and folded upwards into ranges. The Andes was formed in this way.

Continental plates also collide. When this happens no plate subducts instead they are both folded and faulted upwards. The Himalayan mountain range was formed this way.

When the two plates converge or collide they start to build pressure and slowly they lift up and create mountains

A rocket is launched straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 1.60×104 m/s . what is its speed when it is very far awa
AlladinOne [14]
16,000 m/s
Since it’s speed, and the distance is unknown. Gravity isn’t applying a noticeable force too on the rocket, as if it were, then the rocket would be accelerating negatively.

An object is dropped from the top of a tall building. At 2 seconds, it is 64 feet from the top of the building. At 4 seconds, it
jeka94

Answer:

96.21 ft/s

Explanation:

To solve this, you only need to use one expression which is:

Vf² = Vo² + 2gh

g = 9.8 m/s²

However, this exercise is talking in feet, so convert the gravity to feet first:

g = 9.8 * 3.28 = 32.15 ft/s²

Vo is zero, because it's a free fall and in free fall the innitial speed is always zero. With this, let's calculate the speed at 2 seconds, with a height of 64 ft, and then with the 256 ft:

V1 = √2*32.15*64

V1 = 64.15 ft/s

V2 = √2*32.15*256

V2 = 128.3 ft/s

So the average rate is:

V = 128.3 + 64.15 / 2

V = 96.22 ft/s

Bob and Sally sit on a 4 m long see-saw that has its fulcrum smack in the center of the board. If 50 kg Sally is sitting at one
joja [24]

Answer:

1.43m

Explanation:

Given data

m1= 50kg

m2=70kg

We are told that Sally m1= 50 sat at one end which is 2m from the center

Hence, the summation of clockwise moment = summation of anticlockwise moment

See the attached image for your reference

50*2= 70*x

100= 70x

x= 100/70

x=1.43m

Hence the mass m2 will be at the 1.43m mark for the net torque to be zero
