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.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1  greater distances fallen in successive seconds

Explanation:

When a body falls freely it is subjected to the action of the force of gravity, which gives an acceleration of 9.8 m / s2, consequently, we are in an accelerated movement

If we use the kinematic formula we can find the position of the body

       Y = Vo t + ½ to t2

Where the initial velocity is zero or constant and the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

Y = - ½ g t2 = - ½ 9.8 t2 = -4.9 t2

Let's look for the position for successive times

t (s)      Y (m)

  1          -4.9

  2         -19.6

   3        -43.2

The sign indicates that the positive sense is up

It can be clearly seen that the distance is greatly increased every second that passes

Ow much charge flows from a 12.0 v battery when it is connected across a completely discharged 18.0 μf capacitor
Trava [24]
The equation Q=CV (Charge = product of Capacitance and potential difference) tells us that the maximum charge that can be stored on a capacitor is equal to the product of it's capacitance and the potential difference across it. In this case the potential difference across the capacitor will be 12.0V (assuming circuit resistance is negligable) and it has a capacitance of 18.0μf or  18.0x10^-6f, therefore charge equals (18.0x10^-6)x12=2.16x10^-4C (Coulombs).

A reference point allows you to determine the _____________ of an object.
marin [14]

Answer:

a reference point allows you to determine the motion of an object :)

example: when your in a car and u look out the window and your moving fast than the car next to you. It seems that way because the car next to you is actually moving much slower.
