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

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

Which kind of pigment reflects two primary light colors and absorbs one?1) primary pigment2) secondary pigment3) complementary p

weqwewe [10]

The primary colors of light are red, blue and green.

There are the pigments like yellow, magenta and cyan that are the mixture of two primary colors.

For example, magenta is a mixture of red and blue color. Thus, it reflects the red and blue color. Also, magneta absorbs the green color.

These type of colors that reflects two primary colors and absorb one color are known as secondary pigments.

Hence, 2nd option is the correct answer.

A hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 3 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the

yuradex [85]

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}$

Explanation:

We know that the tangent function relates the angle of the right triangle that forms the hot air balloon rising:

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}\\y=xtan\theta(1)$

Differentiating (1) with respect to time, we get:

$\frac{dy}{dt}=tan\theta\frac{dx}{dt}+xsec^{2}\theta\frac{d\theta}{dt}\\$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=0$ since x is a constant value. Replacing:

$\frac{dy}{dt}=3mi(sec^{2}\frac{\pi}{3})0.1\frac{rad}{min}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=1.2\frac{mi}{min}$
