What happens when a continental plate splits apart

Physics

Tatiana [17]3 years ago

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.<span>Or the magma might explode, bringing into existence a new volcano where there was only cool earth before.</span>

A parallel-plate air capacitor with a capacitance of 260 pF has a charge of magnitude 0.155 μC on each plate. The plates have a
butalik [34]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance C=260\ pF

Charge q=0.155\ \mu\ C

Separation of plates = 0.313 mm

We need to calculate the potential difference between the plates

Using formula of potential difference

V= \dfrac{Q}{C}

Where, Q = charge

C = capacitance

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{0.155\times10^{-6}}{260\times10^{-12}}

V=596.2\ volts

Hence,The potential difference between the plates is 596.2 volts.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

Explique ¿por que un objeto que tiene energía es capaz de realizar un trabajo?
Nana76 [90]
By striking another object that is free to move, the moving object can exert a force and cause the second object to shift its position. While the object is moving, it has the capacity for doing work. Energy means the ability to do work, so all moving things have energy by virtue of their motion.




Translation: Al golpear otro objeto que se puede mover libremente, el objeto en movimiento puede ejercer una fuerza y ​​hacer que el segundo objeto cambie de posición. Mientras el objeto se mueve, tiene la capacidad de realizar un trabajo. Energía significa la capacidad de realizar un trabajo, por lo que todas las cosas en movimiento tienen energía en virtud de su movimiento.

A car accelerates at a constant rate from 0 to 50 mph in three fourths min. How far does the car travel during that​ time?
Helen [10]

Answer:

the car have travelled 0.31 mile during that​ time

Explanation:

Applying the Equation of motion;

s = 0.5(u+v)t

Where;

s = distance travelled

u = initial speed = 0 mph

v = Final speed = 50 mph

t = time taken = 3/4 min = 3/4 ÷ 60 hours = 1/80 hour

Substituting the given values into the equation;

s = 0.5(0+50)×(1/80)

s = 0.3125 miles

s ~= 0.31 mile

the car have travelled 0.31 mile during that​ time
