Answer: Both mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts form where two plates are moving apart from each other. However, mid ocean ridges occur in the ocean, while continental rifts occur on land.

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral 541 5 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.0 * 10^2

USPshnik [31]

To find the scientific notation, you need to divide at the decimal by the power of 10. So since there are 2 powers of 10, what you want to do is move the decimal 2 places to the left which will give you: .054

An elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration and moves 1 m in the first 1.7 s. A passenger in the elevator i

avanturin [10]

Answer: Tension = 53.6N

Explanation:

Given that

Height h = 1 m

Time t = 1.7 s.

Mass m = 5.1 kg

From the equation of the motion we can get the acceleration of the elevator:

h = X0+ V0t + at2/2;

Th elevator starts from rest with a constant upward acceleration. Initial velocity Vo = 0, also Xo = 0; thus

a = 2h/t2 = 2 × 1/1.7^2

a = 0.69 m/s2.

Then we can find the tension in the cord by using the formula

T = mg + ma

= 5.1 (9.8 + 0.69)

= 5.1 × 10.5

= 53.6N

What volume of lead must be fastened underneath it to sink the wood in calm water so that its top is just even with the water le

astraxan [27]

The bouyancy force is:

Since the wood-lead system is completely submerged, the bouyancy force

is FB = ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb, where Ďw is the density of water,Vl

is the volume of

the piece of lead and Vb is the volume of the wooden block. The weight of the

  combined lead and wooden block is: W = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb. Since the system is

in equilibrium, the bouyancy force must be equal to the total weight:

ĎwgVl + ĎwgVb = ĎlgVl + ĎbgVb

now we can solve for the volume of lead:

ĎwgVl â’ ĎlgVl = ĎbgVb â’ ĎwgVb

Vl(Ďw â’ Ďl) = Vb(Ďb â’ Ďw)

Vl =

Ďbâ’Ďw

Ďwâ’Ďl

Vb

Now we substitute the values for the density of lead Ďl = 11.3 Ă— 103kg/m3  ,

the density of the wood and the density of water Ďw = 1000kg/m3

. We get:

Vl =

600â’1000

1000â’11300

(0.6m Ă— 0.25m Ă— 0.08m) = 4.66 Ă— 10â’4m3

A brick is dropped from a big scaffold. What is its velocity after 4.0s?

Flura [38]

The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward

Explanation:

The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of $g=9.8 m/s^2$ .
