Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones

Physics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
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.

You are 1.8 m tall and stand 2.8 m from a plane mirror that extends vertically upward from the floor. on the floor 1 m in front
velikii [3]
This problem must be solved using a sketch. I attached an illustration of the problem.
You must trace the ray that reflects from the top off the table to your eyes. This how eyesight works, light rays reflects off the objects into your eyes.
Law of reflection tells us that light ray reflects off the surface at the same angle in which it falls on it( i attached another illustration of this).
Now we can write tangens equations:
tan(\theta)=\frac{h-0.8}{1}\\
tan(\theta)=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}
We solve for h:
\frac{h-0.8}{1}=\frac{1.8-h}{2.8}\\
2.8h-0.8\cdot 2.8=1.8-h\\
3.8h=1.8+2.24\\
h=\frac{4.04}{3.8}\\
h=1.06m

A 4.67-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +357 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s
Leni [432]

Answer:

(a)0.531m/s

(b)0.00169

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=4.67\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg =1000 g

Speed of bullet, v=357m/s

Mass of block 1,m_1=1177g=1.177kg

Mass of block 2,m_2=1626 g=1.626 kg

Velocity of block 1,v_1=0.681m/s

(a)

Let velocity of the second block  after the bullet imbeds itself=v2

Using conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

mv=m_1v_1+(m+m_2)v_2

4.67\times 10^{-3}\times 357+1.177(0)+1.626(0)=1.177\times 0.681+(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)v_2

1.66719=0.801537+1.63067v_2

1.66719-0.801537=1.63067v_2

0.865653=1.63067v_2

v_2=\frac{0.865653}{1.63067}

v_2=0.531m/s

Hence, the  velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s

(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision

K_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

k_i=\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}\times (357)^2)

k_i=297.59 J

Final kinetic energy after collision

K_f=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}(m+m_2)v^2_2

K_f=\frac{1}{2}(1.177)(0.681)^2+\frac{1}{2}(4.67\times 10^{-3}+1.626)(0.531)^2

K_f=0.5028 J

Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision

=\frac{k_f}{k_i}=\frac{0.5028}{297.59}

=0.00169
