When geophysicists measure the geothermal gradient in areas on the ridges where there is no activity hydrothermally, the gradient is far below than what is predicted theoretically, but when measured near hydrothermal vents it is more than what is predicted. This is because most of the heat is being carried through convection by hydrothermal systems so that the average gradient when measured far from the circulation would be depressed or lower.
A) seismic waves
b) sound waves
sound waves are traveling vibrations of particles in media (air, water, metal, etc) so they can’t travel through empty space (vacuums) because there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.
seismic waves are mechanical waves and require a medium for propagation, hence, they cannot travel through a vacuum.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
All the answers are solved and explained below.
Explanation:
Note: This questions lacks the initial and most necessary data to answer these following questions. I have found a related question. I will be considering that question to carry out the answers.
Question: A car with a mass of 1000 kg is at rest at a spotlight. when the light turns green, it is pushed by a net force of 2000 N for 10 s. (This was the information missing in this question).
Data Given:
m = 1000 kg
F = 2000N
t = 10s
Q1 Solution:
Acceleration = a = ?
F = ma
a = F/m
a = 2000/ 1000
a = 2 
Q2: Solution:
Change in velocity = Δv = ?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
a = Δv/t
Δv = axt
Δv = 2 x 10
Δv = 20 m/s
Q3: Solution:
Impulse = I = ?
Impulse = Force x time
I = 2000 x 10
I = 20000 Ns
Q4: Solution:
Change in Momentum = Δp = ?
Δp = mΔv
Δp = 1000 x 20
Δp = 20000 Kgm/s
Q5: Solution:
Final velocity of the car at the end of 10 seconds = vf = ?
Δp = m x Δv
Δp = m x (vf-vi)
Δp = 1000 x (vf - 0 )
20000 = 1000 x vf
vf = 20000/1000
vf = 20 m/s
Q6: Solution:
Change in momentum the car experiences as it continues at this velocity?
Δp = ?
Δp = mΔv
Δp = m x (0)
Δp = 0
Q7: Solution:
Impulse = Change in momentum
Impulse = Δp
Implulse = 0
Q8: Solution:
Change in momentum = Δp = mΔv
Δp = m(vf-vi)
Δp = 1000 x (0-20)
Δp = -20000 kgm/s
Q9: Solution:
Impulse = Δp
Impulse = -20000 Ns
Q10: Solution:
Impulse = ?
Impulse = F x t
F = impulse/t
F = -20000/4s
F = -5000 N
Q11: Solution:
F = ma
a = ?
a = F/m
a = -5000/1000
a = -5
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the baseball is GREATER than the golf ball.
Explanation:
The weight of the heavier player bakes it a lot harder to push him or do work because of the net force gravity<span />
