Answer:

Mid ocean ridge is formed when old oceanic crust is forced under continental plates.

Explanation:

Ocean basin is a kind of land surface that is present under an ocean and below the water.

Ocean basin contain continental shelf,mid ocean ridge that is found on the sea floor.

The size of ocean basin is equal to the size of an ocean and is found below the ocean.

When, water covers the earth's crust region in the distant past,ocean basin formation occurs.This prcess require long time as spreading of sea floor and tectonic plates takes place.

Ex-Atlantic Ocean basin is formed over million years that is present in the European Continent.

A ball has a mass of 4.65kg and approximates a ping pong ball of mass 0.060kg that is at rest by striking it in an elastic colli

Alona [7]

Answer:

Look at work

Explanation:

Elastic Collision: Ki=Kf

M1=4.65kg

M2: 0.060kg

v1=5m/s

v2=0m/s

4.65*5+0.060*0=4.65*v1'+0.060*v2'

23.25+0=4.65v1'+0.060v2'

Also since it is an elastic collision we can use

v1+v1'=v2+v2'

4.65+v1'=v2'

Substitute into the earlier equation

23.25=4.65v1'+0.060(4.65+v1')

Expand

23.25=4.65v1'+0.279+0.06v1'

Solve for v1'

22.971=4.71v1'

v1'=4.88m/s

v2'=4.65+4.88=9.53m/s

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long

amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

Mariulka [41]

Answer: a= 4.4ms-2

Displacement= 26.95 m

Explanation:

First, the speed in km/hr must be converted to m/s so that we can apply it in solving the question. The motion started from rest hence the initial velocity is 0m/s. The average displacement is also obtained from the equations of motion as shown in the image attached.
