Answer:

The formation of volcanic arcs, trenches and subsidence leads to the production of volcanic eruptions.

Explanation:

North America plate makes a convergent boundary along with the pacific oceans. The is man reason for the development of the volcanoes and the origin of the earthquakes. The collusion of both these pales leads to the formation of a volcanic ring of fire that can be seen in the pacific ocean.

a 5.5 g dart is fired into a block of wood with a mass of 22.6 g. the wood block is initially at rest on a 1.5 m tall post. afte

IgorLugansk [536]

<span>From the problem alone we can say that the dart and the block of wood combined into a single object moving together at the end. With that clue we know that the collision is an inelastic collision. The formula of an inelastic collision is:

$m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}$

First let us sort out our given:Mass should be in kg to get the proper answer. Now let's assign m1 as the mass of the dart and m2 as the mass of the block.
m1 = 5.5g

$5.5g$ x $\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 0.0055kg$

m2 = 22.6g

$22.6g$ x $\frac{1kg}{1000g}= 0.0226kg$

So now we settled that we can set our given as:
M1 = .0055 kg
v1i = ?
M2 = 0.0226 kg
v2i = 0 m/s
dx = 2.5 m
dy = -1.5 m

Now you can see that we have 2 unknowns: v1i and vf. We need the vf to solve for the initial velocity of the dart or object 1. We have other given to consider, so we can make use of that to get our missing vf.

Now, vf is the horizontal velocity after the collision. We do this by first using the equations for projectiles considering that we have an x and y dimension to consider. We use the y dimension to get the x.
</span>

dy = -1.5 m

a = 9.8m/s^2

viy = 0 (take note that the initial vertical velocity is 0)

t = ?

<span>We can use the UAM equations to solve for the time in the y-dimension (vertical) to get the horizontal velocity.

$dy = v_{iy}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ </span>

$1.5 = (0)t+\frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^{2}$

<span> $1.5 = \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^{2}$

$\frac{(2)(1.5)}{9.8}=t^{2}$

$\frac{(3)}{9.8}=t^{2}$

$\sqrt{0.3061} = \sqrt{t^{2}$

$0.553s = t$

Now using this, we can get the horizontal (x-dimension) velocity using the formula:
$v_{x} =d_{x}t$ and our given earlier for the horizontal distance is 2.5m and we solved for time 0.553s. Let's put that into our equation:
$v_{x} =d_{x}t$
$v_{x} =(2.5m)(0.553s)$
$v_{x} =4.52m/s$

Now we finally have our vf or velocity after the collision. Now let's get back to the equation.

$m_{1}v_{1i}+m_{2}v_{2i}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}$

From this we can derive the equation for v1i by isolating it.

$v_{1i}= \frac{((m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f})-(m_{2}v_{2i})}{m_{1}}$

Now let's put in all our given and what we solved:

$v_{1i}= \frac{((0.0055kg+0.0226kg)4.52m/s)-((0.0226kg)0m/s)}{0.0055kg}$

$v_{1i}= \frac{(0.0281kg)4.52m/s)}{0.0055kg}$

$v_{1i}= \frac{0.127012kg.m/s}{0.0055kg}$

$v_{1i}= 23.09m/s$

The initial speed of the dart is 23.09 m/s or 23.10 m/s.</span>

Emmett is lifting a box vertically. Which forces are necessary for calculating the total force?

GrogVix [38]

When Emmett is lifting a box vertically, the forces that must be added to calculate the total force are: the gravitational force, tension force(the force exerted by Emmett to the box and the force exerted by the box to Emmett), and air resistance force.

Mercury has a density of 13.56 g/mL. How many kilograms of mercury would you expect to fit in a cylindrical glass cup with a bot

vovangra [49]

Answer:

263.152kg

Explanation:

<em>The density of a substance is related to its mass and volume as follows;</em>

density = mass / volume

mass = density x volume -------------(i)

The substance in question here is <em>mercury </em>which has;

density = 13.56g/mL = 13.56g/cm³

Since the mercury is going to be put in the cylindrical glass, the volume of the cylindrical glass is going to be equal to the volume of the mercury that will be put.

And we know that the;

volume of a cylinder = πr²h

<em>Where;</em>

π = 3.142

r = bottom radius of the cylinder = 5.75inches

h = height of the cylinder = 0.950ft

<em>For uniformity, let's convert the radius and height of the cylinder to their corresponding values in cm</em>

r = 5.75 inches = 5.75 x 2.54 cm = 14.605cm

h = 0.950 ft = 0.950 x 30.48 cm = 28.956cm

<em>Therefore, the volume of the cylinder;</em>

v = 3.142 x (14.605cm)² x 28.956cm = 19406.5cm³

v = 19406.5cm³ [This is also the volume of the mercury necessary to fit the cylinder]

<em>Now the following value has been found;</em>

volume = 19406.5cm³

<em>Substitute the values of density and volume into equation (i) as follows;</em>

mass = 19406.5cm³ x 13.56g/cm³

mass = 263152.14g

<em>Convert the result to kg by dividing by 1000</em>

mass = 263.152kg

Therefore, 263.152kg kilograms of mercury would fit in the cylindrical glass.
