Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones

1 answer:

5 0

Volcanoes form above subduction zones because Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.

Can a magnet attract a pure substance?

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Magnets strongly attract materials which already themselves have magnetic domains. They do not significantly attract many metals like gold, aluminum, silver, and even some types of high-chromium stainless-steel, which lack such domains. In fact, pure gold is slightly repelled.

PLEASE HELP!! ITS URGENT!!!

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

F = 800 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to calculate this problem we must use the principle of momentum before and after the impact of the hammer.

We must summarize that after the impact the hammer does not move, therefore its speed is zero. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

ΣPbefore = ΣPafter

$(m_{1}*v_{1}) - F*t = (m_{1}*v_{2})$

where:

m₁ = mass of the hammer = 0.15 [m/s]

v₁ = velocity of the hammer = 8 [m/s]

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

t = time = 0.0015 [s]

v₂ = velocity of the hammer after the impact = 0

$(0.15*8)-(F*0.0015) = (0.15*0)\\F*0.0015 = 0.15*8\\F = 1.2/(0.0015)\\F = 800 [N]$

Note: The force is taken as negative since it is exerted by the nail on the hammer and this force is directed in the opposite direction to the movement of the hammer.

The edge of a flying disc with a radius of 0.13 m spins with a tangential speed of 3.3 m/s. The centripetal acceleration of the

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 0.13m

Velocity, v = 3.3m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

$Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {3.3^{2}}{0.13}$

$Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {10.89}{0.13}$

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the edge of the disc is 83.77 m/s².

What is the atomic mass of an element?

Alina [70]

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, particle, or molecule. The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons (as seen by the atomic number) and 8 neutrons which gives oxygen an atomic mass of 16.
