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.

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, $T_{H} = 70^{0} F$

Convert to rankine, $T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R$

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e $T_{L} = 40^{0}F = 40 + 460 = 500 R$

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

$COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L} } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500 }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67$

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\$ ...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, $\dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h$

Substituting these values into * above

$\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h$

The magnetic field is 0.0 2M from the wire is 0.1 T what is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0.0 1M from the same wire

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.2 T

Explanation:

Magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from wire since the distance is halved therefore magnetic field will be doubled.

Who water rocket starts from rest and roses straight up with an acceleration of 5 m/s until it runs out of water 2.5 seconds lat

Kitty [74]

Answer:

23. 4375 m

Explanation:

There are two parts of the rocket's motion

1 ) accelerating (assume it goes upto h1 height )

using motion equations upwards

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} \\h_1=0+\frac{1}{2}*5*2.5^{2} \\=15.625 m$

Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)

V = U +at

V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s

2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto h2 height )

now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity

using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)

V²= U² +2as

0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2

h2 = 7.8125 m

maximum height = h1 + h2

= 15.625 + 7.8125

= 23. 4375 m
