Answer:
Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen
Explanation:
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. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.
This is very good conceptual question and can clear your doubts regarding work-energy theorem.
Whenever force is perpendicular to the direction of the motion, work done by that force is zero.
According to work-energy theorem,
Work done by all the force = change in kinetic energy.
here, work done = 0.
Therefore,
0=change in kinetic energy
This means kinetic energy remains constant.
Hope this helps
C. Energy can change forms
Answer:
171.5Watts
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass = 5kg
Distance = 28m
Time = 8s
Unknown:
Power = ?
Solution:
Power is the rate at which work is done;
Power = 
Work done = force x distance = mg x d =
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
d is the distance
Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 28 = 1372J
Power = 
= 171.5Watts
