As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.

Physics

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.

A 2kg Book is sitting on a table.a 10n Force is pulling to the right.a 3n Force is pulling to the left what is the net force act
salantis [7]


The net force = sum of all forces acting on the body



If we take left side as -ve and right side as +ve,
then,

The net force here would be equal to,
10N + (- 3N)
= 7N.


Therefore, a net force of +7N ( + indicates it's moving towards right) is acting on the book of mass 2kg.

Ask Your Teacher Suppose the roller coaster below(h1 = 36 m, h2 = 13 m, h3 = 30) passes point A with a speed of 1.00 m/s. If the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s

Explanation:

Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h

Where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = starting height of the roller coaster

we have the given variables

h₁ = 36 m,

h₂ = 13 m,

h₃ = 30 m

v₁ = 1.00 m/s

Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁

= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36

=353.66·m

Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂

= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m

The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered

Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction

Friction work = F×d×cosθ = (\frac{1}{5} × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m

0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m

v₂² = 216.82

v₂  =  14.72 m/s

The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
