Maybe this would help understand it better.

<span>Tectonic plates can transport both continental crust and oceanic crust, or they may be made of only one kind of crust. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust</span>

Calculate the true mass (in vacuum) of a piece of aluminum whose apparent mass is 4.5000 kgkg when weighed in air. The density o
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Explanation:

Given data

m_{app} = 4.5 kg

\rho_{air} = 1.29 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

\rho_{al} = 2.7× 10^{3} \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

The true mass of the aluminium is given by

m_{alu} = \frac{\rho_{alu}m_{app}}{\rho_{alu} -\rho_{air} }

Put all the values in above equation we get

m_{alu} = \frac{(2700)(4.5)}{2700-1.29}

m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Therefore the true weight of the aluminium is m_{alu} = 4.5021 kg

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.
