Which is the correct definition for sea floor spreading

2 answers:

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

Classify the following situations into contact and non-contact forces.

NARA [144]

Answer: Contact force

a. Applying break in a vehicle.

d. The speed of ball rolling on ground is reduced

Non contact force

b. A coconut falling from a coconut tree.

c. The planets revolving around the sun.

Explanation:

The contact force is the force which exerts when one object or entity comes in contact with other object or entity. For example, on application of break the vehicle stops, the force is applied on the breaks to stop the vehicle. The ball rolling on the ground the speed reduces so the application of force on the ground also reduces.

The non contact force is the force one object exerts on the other without coming in direct contact with the other object. The force exerted by one object on other due to gravity is a non contact force. The coconut falling on the ground and planets revolving around the sun are examples of non contact force due to gravity.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time taken to complete one revolution is called time period.

So, Time period, T = 1 s

Diameter = 1.6 mm

radius, r = 0.8 mm

Let the angular speed is ω.

The relation between angular velocity and the time period is

$\omega =\frac{2\pi}{T}$

ω = 2 x 3.14 = 6.28 rad/s

The relation between the linear velocity and the angular velocity is

v = r x ω

v = 0.8 x 10^-3 x 6.28

v = 0.005 m/s

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells. People use these resources by drilling wells into the earth and then piping steam or hot water to the surface. The hot water or steam powers a turbine that generates electricity. Some geothermal wells are as much as 2 miles deep.

love history [14]

The question is incomplete. Here is the entire question.

A jetboat is drifting with a speed of 5.0m/s when the driver turns on the motor. The motor runs for 6.0s causing a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0m/s². What is the displacement of the boat over the 6.0 seconds time interval?

Answer: Δx = - 42m

Explanation: The jetboat is moving with an acceleration during the time interval, so it is a linear motion with constant acceleration.

For this "type" of motion, displacement (Δx) can be determined by:

$\Delta x = v_{i}.t + \frac{a}{2}.t^{2}$
