As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.

Physics
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]4 years ago
8 0

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 circular sign has a diameter of 40 cm and is subjected to normal winds up to 150 km/h at 10°C and 100 kPa. Determine the drag
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

147.7 N

221.55 Nm

Explanation:

P = Pressure = 100000 Pa

R_s = Mass-specific gas constant = 287.015 J/kg k

T = Temperature = 10+273 = 283 K

C = Drag coefficient = 1.1

A = Area

r = Radius = 0.2 m

v = Speed of wind = \frac{150}{3.6}\ m/s

L = Length of pole

Density

\rho=\frac{P}{R_sT}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\frac{100000}{287.058\times 283}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.2309\ kg/m^3

Drag force

F=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2309\times 1.1\times \left(\pi \times 0.2^2\right)\times \left(\frac{150}{3.6}\right)^2\\\Rightarrow F=147.7\ N

Force on the circular sign is 147.7 N

M=F\times L\\\Rightarrow M=147.7\times 1.5\\\Rightarrow M=221.55\ Nm

Bending moment at the bottom of the pole is 221.55 Nm

Explain what is meant by “field” and compare the properties of gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces in terms of particle
notsponge [240]
Field in this context refers to a region of the space to which corresponds a value.

There is a gravitational field around the earth, because a mass m placed at any point around the earth will be atracted (gravitational force) by it.

There is an electric field in a point when a charge placed there feels an electric force.

The gravitational field is proportional to the value of the mass of the object that produces it.

The electric field is proportional to the magnitude of the charge of the particle that produces it.

The gravitational field is always attractive. The electric field may be attractive or repulsive.

Both fields are proportional to the inverse of the squared distance.

The magnetic field is created when a charge is in movement,i.e a charge in movement will create a magnetid fiedl around it that will act and create a magnetic force over other charge also in movement.

The magnetic field is proportional to the product of the charge times its velocity and inversely proportional to the squared distance. The force generated my be attractive or repulsive.

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})
