Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other.

In sea-floor spreading, the sea floor spreads apart along both sides of a mid-ocean ridge as new crust is added.


In result, the ocean floors move like conveyor belts, carrying the continents along with them

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

22145.27733 ft

124984.76055 ft

Explanation:

The equation of pressure is

P=P_0e^{-kh}

where,

P_0 =Atmospheric pressure = 800 mbar

k = Constant

h = Altitude = 35000 ft

P=\dfrac{1}{3}P_0

\dfrac{1}{3}P_0=P_0e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{3}=e^{-k35000}\\\Rightarrow 3=e^{k35000}\\\Rightarrow ln3=k35000\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{ln3}{35000}\\\Rightarrow k=3.13\times 10^{-5}

Now

P=\dfrac{1}{2}P_0

ln2=kh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{k}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln2}{3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=22145.27733\ ft

The altitude will be 22145.27733 ft

P=0.02P_0

0.02P_0=P_0e^{-kh}\\\Rightarrow 0.02=e^{-3.13\times 10^{-5}h}\\\Rightarrow ln0.02=-3.13\times 10^{-5}h\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{ln0.02}{-3.13\times 10^{-5}}\\\Rightarrow h=124984.76055\ ft

The elevation is 124984.76055 ft

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

first bright fringe = 2.96 mm

slit separation = 0.325 mm

distance D = 2.20 m

solution

we know that this is double slit experiment

so we apply here Fringe width formula that is

β = \frac{D\lambda}{d}    ....................1

\lambda is Wavelength of light and  D is Distance between screen and slit and d is slit width

so put here value and we get

\lambda = \frac{2.96*0.325*10^{-6}}{2.20}    

\lambda = 437.27 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength \lambda = 437.27 nm

A car starts moving from the position of rest with uniform acceleration of 8m/s^calculate the distance travelled by it during 10
ad-work [718]

We calculate the coordinates at t₁ = 9 min and t₂ = 10 min, since the 10th minute is between t₁ and t₂.

As it leaves from rest, it means that the initial speed is zero


t₁=9 min=540 s

t₂=10 min=600 s

x₁=at₁²/2=8*540²/2=4*291600=1166400 m

x₂=at₂²/2=8*600²/2=4*360000=1440000 m

Δx=x₂-x₁=1440000-1166400=273600 m represents the distance traveled by the car in the 10th minute of travel

Please help!!
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Si un objeto se mueve en relación a un marco de referencia (por ejemplo, si una profesora se mueve a la derecha con respecto al pizarrón, o un pasajero se mueve hacia la parte trasera de un avión), entonces la posición del objeto cambia. A este cambio en la posición se le conoce como desplazamiento. La palabra desplazamiento implica que un objeto se movió, o se desplazó.

Explanation:

El desplazamiento se define como el cambio en la posición de un objeto. Se puede definir de manera matemática con la siguiente ecuación:

\text{desplazamiento}=\Delta x=x_f-x_0desplazamiento=Δx=x  

f

x, start subscript, f, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición final.

x_0x  

0

​  

x, start subscript, 0, end subscript se refiere al valor de la posición inicial.

\Delta xΔxdelta, x es el símbolo que se usa para representar el desplazamiento.

Debemos ser cuidados al usar la palabra distancia, ya que hay dos maneras de usar el término en física. Podemos hablar acerca de la distancia entre dos puntos, o podemos hablar de la distancia recorrida por un objeto.

La distancia se define como la magnitud o el tamaño del desplazamiento entre dos posiciones. Observa que la distancia entre dos posiciones no es la misma que la distancia recorrida entre ellas.

Es importante darse cuenta que la distancia recorrida no tiene que ser igual a la magnitud del desplazamiento (es decir, la distancia entre dos puntos). De manera específica, si un objeto cambia de dirección en su trayecto, la distancia total recorrida será mayor que la magnitud del desplazamiento entre esos dos puntos. Ve los ejemplos resueltos a continuación.

a 250g moves eastward along a straight path at a constant velocity of 12 m per second calculate the momentum of the ball ​
lara31 [8.8K]

Explanation:

If two particles are involved in an elastic collision, the velocity of the second particle after collision can be expressed as: v2f=2⋅m1(m2+m1)v1i+(m2−m1)(m2+m1)v2i v 2 f = 2 ⋅ m 1 ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 1 i + ( m 2 − m 1 ) ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 2 i .
