HELPPPP I DONT HAVE ENOUGH WRITTEN Describe the process of sea floor spreading.

Physics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other. ... As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.
N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.

(10%) Problem 5: The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants. Mass
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Incomplete Question.The Complete question is

The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants.  Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24  kg (assume a uniform mass distribution)  Radius of the Earth: 6371 km  Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km

(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.

(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?  

Answer:

(i) KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J

Explanation:

i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is

I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²

I = 9.69e37 kg·m²

About its axis,

ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,

so its rotational kinetic energy

KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²

KE= 2.56e29 J

(ii) About the sun,

I = mR²

I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²

I= 1.336e47 kg·m²

and the angular velocity

ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s

ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s

so  

KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²

KE= 2.65e33 J

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point,F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 8.80 NN and is directed at an an
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N
  • F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Explanation:

You apparently want the sum of forces ...

  F = 8.80∠-56° +7.00∠52.8°

Your angle reference is a bit unconventional, so we'll compute the components of the forces as ...

  f∠α = (-f·cos(α), -f·sin(α))

This way, the 2nd quadrant angle that has a negative angle measure will have a positive y component.

  = -8.80(cos(-56°), sin(-56°)) -7.00(cos(52.8°), sin(52.8°))

  ≈ (-4.92090, 7.29553) +(-4.23219, -5.57571)

  ≈ (-9.15309, 1.71982)

The resultant component forces are ...

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N

Then the magnitude and direction of the resultant are

  F∠γ = (√(9.15309² +1.71982²))∠arctan(-1.71982/9.15309)

  F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

A ray of light bends upon entering a new medium. What is this phenomenon called?
Ainat [17]
Refraction is a phenomenon which results when a ray of light enters from one medium to another medium. When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal. The laws of refraction are: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.
