As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.

Physics
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago

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.

Guys please help me out I’ll give extra points
zvonat [6]

Answer: h = 3.34 m

Explanation:

If the hat is thrown straight up, then at its highest point it has no motion and no kinetic energy. All energy is potential energy

PE = mgh

h = PE/mg = 4.92 / (0.150(9.81)) = 3.34352... ≈3.34 m

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's _______ and _______ waves to help determine the distance betw
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.
