Explanation:
Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) 520m
b) 10.30 s
c) 100,95 m/s
Explanation:
a) According the given information, the rocket suddenly stops when it reach the height of 520m, because the engines fail, and then it begins the free fall.
This means the maximum height this rocket reached before falling was 520 m.
b) As we are dealing with constant acceleration (due gravity)
we can use the following formula:
(1)
Where:
is the initial height of the rocket (at the exact moment in which it stops due engines fail)
is the final height of the rocket (when it finally hits the launch pad)
is the initial velocity of the rocket (at the exact moment in which it stops the velocity is zero and then it begins to fall)
is the acceleration due gravity
is the time it takes to the rocket to hit the launch pad
Clearing
:
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5) This is the time
c) Now we need to find the final velocity
for this rocket, and the following equation will be perfect to find it:
(6)
(7)
(8) This is the final velocity of the rocket. Note the negative sign indicates its direction is downwards (to the launch pad)
