Answer: Earthquakes and Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

You did not attach a picture however, this should be the correct answer.

Mid-oceanic ridge plate boundaries such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge form as a result of plate separating at the boundary. This leads to earthquakes due to the forces of tension acting on the plates.

When this happens, the mantle is exposed and therefore there will be volcanic eruptions as the lava comes to the surface as magma. When this magma cools it creates new seafloors and underwater mountains.

<span>We know that the momentum keeps constant in a inelastic collisions, so the product of mass and speed do not change:
m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 = m * v
1 * 1 + 5 * 0 = (1 + 5) * v
1 = 6 * v
v = 1/6 m/s
So the final speed of the 6 kg chunk will travel at 0.167 m/s</span>

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u>

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
