<h3>Answer;</h3>

Continental accretion

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The collision and joining of crustal fragments to a continent is called the continental accretion.
Accretion is the process through which materials such as sediment, volcanic arcs, or seamounts or blocks, etc. are added to the tectonic plate or land mass. Many astronomical bodies, such as stars, galaxies or planets are formed by this process.

Where the process of accretion has occurred the tectonic plates may have dense basaltic rocks which are indicative of oceanic lithosphere.

Sir Percival and his horse are standing still on a field of honor when Sir Rodney, atop his steed gallops by with a constant vel

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

d. none of these

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that Percival catches Sir Rodney's horse in time "t" after covering a certain distance "s"

Then, using the second equation of motion:

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

FOR Percival, we have:

$S = (0\times t ) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0.6 \ m/s \times t^2 \\ \\ S = 0.3 \ m/s \times t^2 -- -- (1)$

FOR Sir Rodney;

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$S = (3\times t ) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 0 \times t^2 \\ \\ S =3t--- (2)$

Equating both equations together; we have:

0.3t² = 3t

0.3t² - 3t = 0

0.3t(t - 10) = 0

If Percival's position at rest = 0

Then; t = 10 s.

If a book is knocked off a desk that is .75 m tall at a rate of 2.0 m/s, how far away from the desk does it fall

ANEK [815]

Answer: 0.8 m

Explanation:

In the vertical direction, the speed is zero, u = 0.

Distance covered in the vertical direction, s = 0.75 m.

The book would fall with acceleration due to gravity in the vertical direction, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

From the equation of motion,

s = u t + 0.5 a t²

Substituting the above values, we will find out the time taken for the book to hit the ground.

⇒0.75 m=0+0.5×9.8 m/s²×t²

⇒t = √0.153 = 0.39 s ≈ 0.40 s

Now, the horizontal distance covered,

d = v×t ⇒d= 2.0 m/s × 0.40 s =0.8 m

Hence, the book falls 0.8 m away from the desk.

A hockey puck, mass of 0.115 kg, moving at 35 m/s strikes a ray thrown on the ice by a fan. The ray has a mass of 0.265 kg. The

emmainna [20.7K]

We can use conservation of momentum. MaVa + MbVb = (Ma+Mb)Vf.

Plugging in values:
(.115)(35) + (.265)0 = (.380)(Vf)

Now solve for Vf.
Vf= .115*35 / .380 = 10.6 m/s

What happens as a result of the pulses passing by each other?

nadezda [96]

Answer:

After pulses pass through each other, each pulse continues along its original direction of travel, and their original amplitudes remain unchanged.

Explanation:

Constructive interference takes place when two pulses meet each other to create a larger pulse.
