How do the parallel magnetic “stripes” near mid-ocean ridges form?

2 answers:

When lava erupts from mid-ocean ridges, it cools rapidly into rock. As it does, it becomes magnetised permanently in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field.

Answer:

When oceanic crust layer of earth pulls apart, magma erupts to the surface at the mid-ocean ridges and develops new layers of ocean floor.

Magma contains ferromagnetic minerals. These minerals align themselves in the direction of earth’s magnetic field reversing its polarity every now and then. When this magma cools down, it freezes in this alignment. In this way first strip is developed.

Later when the earth magnetic field changes its polarity again, the next strip is formed but has opposite polarity to the first strip.

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?

Snezhnost [94]

You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave.

It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

Explanation:

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

$v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2$

$v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96$

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s
