What happens when a tectonic plate gets subducted

At what temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) is the Fahrenheit scale reading equal to (a) 2 times that of the Celsius and (b) 1/4 ti

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

(a) F = 320

(b) = F = -5.1625

Explanation:

The formula that converts degree Celsius (C) to degree Fahrenheit (F) is:

F = 1.8C + 32

Solving (a): F = 2C

Substitute 2C for F in the above equation

F = 1.8C + 32

2C = 1.8C + 32

Collect like terms

2C - 1.8C = 32

0.2C = 32

Multiply both sides by 5

5 * 0.2C = 32 * 5

C = 160

Recall that F = 2C

F = 2 * 160

F = 320

Solving (b): F = ¼C

Substitute ¼C for F in the above formula

F = 1.8C + 32

¼C = 1.8C + 32

Convert fraction to decimal

0.25C = 1.8C + 32

Collect like terms

0.25C - 1.8C = 32

-1.55C = 32

Divide both sides by -1.55

C = 32/(-1.55)

C = -32/1.55

C = -20.65

Recall that: F = ¼C

F = -¼ * 20.65

F = -5.1625

An elevator has a mass of 1000 Kg. What force is needed to accelerate it upward at a rate of 2 m/s/s?

zubka84 [21]

The force needed to accelerate an elevator upward at a rate of $2 m / s^{2}$ is 2000 N or 2 kN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the external unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the object given here is an elevator with mass 1000 kg and the acceleration is given as $2 m / s^{2}$ , the force needed to accelerate it can be obtained by taking the product of mass and acceleration.

$\text {Force}=\text {Mass} \times \text {Acceleration}$

$\text { Force }=1000 \times 2=2000 \mathrm{N}=2 \text { kilo Newon }$

So 2000 N or 2 kN amount of force is needed to accelerate the elevator upward at a rate of $2 m / s^{2}$ .

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the

tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.
