What happens when a continental plate splits apart

2 answers:

7 0

When plates pull apart underwater, the hot magma instantly rises and spreads itself to form a new ocean floor.Under a continent, the crust splits open to allow magma out. The magma might make its way slowly to the surface, creating warm areas and hot springs or geysers as surface water meets it.Or the magma might explode, bringing into existence a new volcano where there was only cool earth before.

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant

A neutral object contains no net charge, but still has many charged particles within the object, it just means that the charges cancel each other out.

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 44 ft/s2. What is the dist

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Distance, d = 61.13 ft

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 50 mi/h = 73.34 ft/s

Finally, it stops i.e. v = 0

Deceleration of the car, $a=-44\ ft/s^2$

We need to find the distance covered before the car comes to a stop. Let the distance is s. It can be calculated using third law of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{0-(73.34\ ft/s)^2}{2\times -44\ ft/s^2}$

s = 61.13 ft

So, the distance covered by the car before it comes to rest is 61.13 ft. Hence, this is the required solution.

Three capacitors, C1 = 2 μF, C2 = 4 μF, C3 = 4 μF, are connected in series Determine the capacitance of a single capacitor that

julsineya [31]

Answer:

1 μF

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question, all we need to do is to calculate the equivalent capacitance of the capacitors. This can be obtained as illustrated below.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Capacitor 1 (C₁) = 2 μF

Capacitor 2 (C₂) = 4 μF

Capacitor 3 (C₃) = 4 μF

Equivalent capacitance (Cₑq) =?

Cₑq = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

Cₑq = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4

Cₑq = (2 + 1 + 1)/4

Cₑq = 4/4

Cₑq = 1 μF

Thus, the answer to the question is 1 μF
