When two ocean plates move away from each other that is called?

Physics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Convergent or Divergent boundaries

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.

An electron of mass 9.11 1031 kg has an initial speed of 3.00 105 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases to
elena55 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Initial speed of the electron, u=3\times 10^5\ m/s

Final speed of the electron, v=7\times 10^5\ m/s

Distance, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

(a) The acceleration of the electron is calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}

a=\dfrac{(7\times 10^5)^2-(3\times 10^5)^2}{2\times 0.05}

a=4\times 10^{12}\ m/s^2

Force exerted on the electron is given by :

F=m\times a

F=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 4\times 10^{12}

F=3.64\times 10^{-18}\ N

(b) Let W is the weight of the electron. It can be calculated as :

W=mg

W=9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 9.8

W=8.92\times 10^{-30}\ N

Comparison,

\dfrac{F}{W}=\dfrac{3.64\times 10^{-18}}{8.92\times 10^{-30}}

\dfrac{F}{W}=4.08\times 10^{11}

Hence, this is the required solution.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity
tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement  = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement  per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

     Velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

     Velocity =   \frac{4400}{14400} = 0.31m/s

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.
