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.

a skinny girl devours food that is equivalent to 600 kcal, as she is anorexic she repents and wants to lose twice as many calori
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in lifting the weight once = mgh

= 20 x 9.8 x (1.9+1.7)

= 705.6 J  

= 705.6 / 4.2 calorie

= 168 cals

Total energy to be spent = 600 x 10³ cals

No of times weight is required to be lifted

= 600 x 10³ / 168

= 3.57  x 10³ times

Total time to be taken = 2 x 3.57 x 10³

= 7.14 x 10³ s

=119 minutes .

How is Coulomb’s law similar to newton’s law of gravitational force? How is it different
natulia [17]

The similarities and the differences between gravitational and electric force are listed below

Explanation:

- The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- Coloumb's law gives instead the strength of the electrostatic force between two charged objects, which is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

By comparing the two equations, we find the following similarities:

  • Both the forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}
  • Both the forces are proportional to the product between the "main quantity" of each force, which is the mass for the gravitational force (F\propto m_1 m_2) and the charge for the electric force (F\propto q_1 q_2

Instead, we have the following differences:

  • The gravitational force is always attractive, since the sign of m is always positive, while the electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, since the sign of q can be either positive or negative
  • The value of the gravitational costant G is much smaller than the value of the Coulomb's constant, so the gravitational force is much weaker than the electric force

Why must batteries be connected when the terminal voltage across each of them was measured
photoshop1234 [79]

Batteries are connected when the terminal voltage across each of them was measured because batteries have an internal resistance that is in series with the load.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also known as reactants are converted to one or more different substances, known as products. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products

In batteries, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy with help of a chemical reaction happening inside the battery.

Batteries and other power sources have an internal resistance that runs parallel to the load. The overall resistance of the path of the electron flow inside the source constitutes the internal resistance, which is not technically a resistor. Usually, internal resistance is extremely minimal.

Thus, considering the internal resistance of the batteries, the terminal voltage across each of them was measured.

on takeoff, the propellers on a uav (unmanned aerial vehicle) increase their angular velocity from rest at a rate of ω = (25.0t)
Rudik [331]

Hi there!

a)
We can find the angular velocity at t = 2.0 s by plugging in this value into the equation.

\omega (t) = 25.0t \\\\\omega (2) = 25.0(2) = \boxed{50.0 \frac{rad}{s}}

b)

The angular acceleration is the derivative of the angular velocity, so:
\alpha (t) = \frac{d\omega}{dt} (25.0t) = 25.0

Thus, the angular acceleration is a <u>constant 25 rad/s².</u>
