What is the best explanation for how the plates move?

Physics

miskamm [114]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Some geologists favor convection currents in the mantle as the best explanation for plate tectonic movement. It is reasonable to assume that the heat radiated from the core creates convection currents in the mantle, and the mantle rocks begin to move plastically.

Nata [24]

Answer:

a) 69.3 m/s

b) 18.84 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity = u

The vertical and horizontal components of the velocity is given by uᵧ and uₓ respectively

uᵧ = u sin 40° = 0.6428 u

uₓ = u cos 40° = 0.766 u

We're given that the horizontal distance travelled by the projectile rock (Range) = 1 km = 1000 m

The range of a projectile motion is given as

R = uₓt

where t = total time of flight

1000 = 0.766 ut

ut = 1305.5

The vertical distance travelled by the projectile rocks,

y = uᵧ t - (1/2)gt²

y = - 900 m (900 m below the crater's level)

-900 = 0.6428 ut - 4.9t²

Recall, ut = 1305.5

-900 = 0.6428(1305.5) - 4.9 t²

4.9t² = 839.1754 + 900

4.9t² = 1739.1754

t = 18.84 s

Recall again, ut = 1305.5

u = 1305.5/18.84 = 69.3 m/s

The current in an electric hair dryer is 10
Vikki [24]
First let's convert the time in seconds:
\Delta t= 5 min= 5 min \cdot (60 s/min)= 300 s

The current is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through a certain section of a circuit per unit of time:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using I=10 A, and \Delta t=300 s, we can find the amount of charge flown through the hair dryer in this time:
Q=I \Delta t=(10 A)(300 s)=3000 C

The charge of a single electron is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so the number of electrons flown through the hair dryer is the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{3000 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C} =1.88 \cdot 10^{22}
