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

2 answers:

6 0

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.

A watering can is most likely measured in which metric unit

Iteru [2.4K]

A watering can is used to hold a water that we will use to water the plants. The water has both mass and volume. Two watering cans are most often different by the volume they contain.

Many various units for volume are used but most often used unit is liter. In a metric system basic units are those such as meter, kilogram and liter while in imperial system units used are those such as foote, inch, pound and gallon.

Unit for volume in metric system is cubic meter. It is equal to a volume of a cube whose all sides measure 1m. This is equal to 1000L. For watering cans that contain several liters units used is decimeter cubed. 1dm^3 = 1L

How is heat transfer involved in the movement of tectonic plates?

Simora [160]

Mantle convection

Explanation:

The driver of moving plates is the mantle convection.

Convection is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of fluids from one place to another.

How does convection occur in the mantle?

Part of the mantle known as the asthenosphere is a hot liquid. It moves slowly and does not readily flow.
Over riding the asthenosphere is the brittle lithosphere made up of the upper mantle and the entirety of the crust.
The asthenosphere is at a higher temperature compared to the lithosphere on top.
In order to achieve stability and thermal equilibrium, the asthenosphere rises to the surface whereas the dense and cold lithosphere sinks down.
This way a convective cell is set up.
Hot materials rises to the surface because they are light whereas cold materials on the surface sinks into the asthenosphere.
Through this the plates moves.

An electric turntable 0.730 mm in diameter is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 0.240 rev/srev/s a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

a) $\omega = 0.421\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , b) $\Delta \theta = 0.066\,rev$ , c) $v = 0.966\,\frac{mm}{s}$ , d) $a = 3.293\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity of the turntable after $0.200\,s$ .

$\omega = \omega_{o} + \alpha\cdot \Delta t$

$\omega = 0.240\,\frac{rev}{s} + (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.2\,s)$

$\omega = 0.421\,\frac{rev}{s}$

b) The change in angular position is:

$\Delta \theta = \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

$\Delta \theta = (0.240\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (0.2\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}} )\cdot (0.2\,s)^{2}$

$\Delta \theta = 0.066\,rev$

c) The tangential speed of a point on the rim of the turn-table:

$v = r\cdot \omega$

$v = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (0.421\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )$

$v = 9.655\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v = 0.966\,\frac{mm}{s}$

d) The tangential and normal components of the acceleration of the turn-table:

$a_{t} = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot (0.906\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}})\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )$

$a_{t} = 2.078\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = 2.078\,\frac{mm}{s}$

$a_{n} = (0.365\times 10^{-3}\,m)\cdot \left[(0.421\,\frac{rev}{s} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )\right]^{2}$

$a_{n} = 2.554\times 10^{-3}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{n} = 2.554\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration is:

$a = \sqrt{(2.078\,\frac{mm}{s} )^{2}+(2.554\,\frac{mm}{s} )^{2}}$

$a = 3.293\,\frac{mm}{s^{2}}$

Which two vectors when added will have the largest positive x component?

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The Number is concept. It is depending with what you mean by infinity. Some of the numbers include 1 through 2 or infinite. If you work with vector space of tuples with any components could be infinite you just know what typed of infinity work with.

Explanation:

May you have a bless day. And send positive all over the world.
