What is the best explanation for how the plates move?

1 answer:

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.

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude 0.275 T. If the kinetic energy of the electr

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Radius, $r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.275 T

Kinetic energy of the electron, $E=4.9\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Kinetic energy is given by :

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4.9\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}$

v = 1037749.04 m/s

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

$qvB\ sin90=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}$

$r=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1037749.04}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.275 }$

$r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$

So, the radius of the circular path is $2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A mass of 250 N is on a piston of 2.0 m^2. What force is needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2?

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<h3>62.5N</h3>

Explanation:

The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.

Pressure = Force/Area

F1/A1 = F2/A2

Given

F1 = 250N

A1 = 2.0m²

A2 = 0.5m²

F2 = ?

Substituting the given values in the formula;

250/2 = F2/0.5

cross multiply

250*0.5 = 2F2

125 = 2F2

F2 = 125/2

F2 = 62.5N

Hence the force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N
