Answer:

Explanation:

When you sit by a campfire, most of the heat you are receiving from the fire does not come from hot air. ... This radiation carries energy which is converted to heat when it hits another object and is absorbed. In contrast, conduction involves the direct movement of heat through an object.

A crate slides down a ramp that makes a 20∘ angle with the ground. To keep the crate moving at a steady speed, Paige pushes back
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Hence, work done= 287.54 J

Explanation:

Given data:

angle of ramp with the ground θ =20°

force applied = 76 N

work done on the crate to slide down 4 m down the ramp

W= F×d cosθ ( only the cos component of the force will slide the crate down)

W= 76×4×cos20= 287.54 J

A person kicks a ball off of a 50m high cliff with a speed of 10 m/s. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground? * 7 poin
Musya8 [376]

Presumably, the ball is kicked parallel to the ground below the cliff, so its altitude <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

y(t)=50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:

0 = 50\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

t^2=\dfrac{100\,\mathrm m}g

t=\dfrac{10}{9.80}\,\mathrm s\approx\boxed{3.2\,\mathrm s}

Explain the theory of Plate Tectonics. b) How does it account for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge? c) How does it account for volcanic is
hjlf

Answer:

A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C)  A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time

Explanation:

A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).

B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:

Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.

C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot".  Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands.  If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.

A student carries a very heavy backpack. To lift the backpack off the ground, the student must apply 80 N of force to do so. The
Xelga [282]

The work done on the backpack by the student applies 80 N of force to lift the backpack 1.5 m is 120J.

<h3>How to calculate work done?</h3>

Work done is a measure of energy expended in moving an object; most commonly, force times distance.

It is said that no work is done if the object does not move, hence, the work done on an object can be calculated as follows:

Work done = Force × Distance

According to this question, a student carries a very heavy backpack and to lift the backpack off the ground, the student must apply 80 N of force to lift the backpack 1.5 m.

Work done = 80N × 1.5m

Work done = 120J

Therefore, the work done on the backpack by the student applies 80 N of force to lift the backpack 1.5 m is 120J.
