Answer:

With distance from the ridge crest, the sediments and crust get thicker. This also supports the idea that the youngest rocks are on the ridge axis and that the rocks get older with distance away from the ridge (Figure below). Something causes the seafloor to be created at the ridge crest.

Answer: With distance from the ridge crest, the sediments and crust get thicker. This also supports the idea that the youngest rocks are on the ridge axis and that the rocks get older with distance away from the ridge (Figure below). Something causes the seafloor to be created at the ridge crest

Explanation:

New rock is formed near the mid-oceanic ridge as oceanic plates diverge or separate from each other. Hot rocks rising from the asthenosphere melt from decompression as they rise, filling the fault and forming new basaltic oceanic crust. As new crust is added, older crust is pushed away. Therefore, the further away from the mid-oceanic ridge, the older the rocks.

How long does it take for the hubble telescope to orbit earth

il63 [147K]

Answer:

95 minutes

Explanation:

According to N.A.S.A, the Hubble Space Telescope makes one orbit around Earth every 95 minutes.

"The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 547 kilometers (340 miles) above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels about 5 miles per second: That is like traveling from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast in 10 minutes. Hubble is solar-powered.

Hubble takes sharp pictures of objects in the sky such as planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has made more than one million observations. These include detailed pictures of the birth and death of stars, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet pieces crashing into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Scientists have learned a lot about the universe from these pictures. Many of them are beautiful to look at."

A uniform electric field exists everywhere in the x, y plane. This electric field has a magnitude of 4500 N/C and is directed in

Anton [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$E=4500 N/C$

$q=-5.5\times 10^{-9} C$

a.x=-0.2 m

$E'=\frac{Kq}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 5.5\times 10^{-9}}{(0.2)^2}=1237.5 N$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

Net electric field=E+E'=4500+1237.5=5737.5 N/C

b.x=0.20 m

Net electric field=E-E'=4500-1237.5=3262.5 N/C

c.y=0.20 m

E=1237.5 N/C

Net electric field= $\sqrt{E^2+E'^2}=\sqrt{(4500)^2+(1237.5)^2}=4667.05 N/C$

How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

"Effort" usually refers to the applied force. An inclined plane decreases the force required while increasing the distance that the force is exerted over. So even though there's less force needed, the amount of work stays the same.
