Answer:

Plate tectonics are responsible for the following events by:-

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are parts of the crust which is moved by the mantle of the Earth.

The Crust is divided into parts called "Tectonic Plates"!

When tectonic plates move they cause some sorts of anomalies, and some of those anomalies are the ones in the question.

When there are two tectonic plates move towards each other, they form mountains, or when wo tectonic plates move away from each other, they cause the sea floor to expand!

Sometimes, they can cause dangerous accidents because of the vibration of the tectonic plates. These vibrations can cause volcanic eruption and tsunamis and Earth quakes.

When these volcanic eruptions occur, they can form underwater volcanoes, and make new islands, which can lead to continent formation!

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}$ (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

$m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg$ (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg$ (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

$m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg$

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s

(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

$v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]$

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]$

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16$

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}$

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4$

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

$v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40$

$v_f=8+16=24$

The final velocity is 24 m/s

The generator at a power plant produces AC at 20,000 V. A transformer steps this up to 355,000 V for transmission over power lin

Masja [62]

Answer:

Number of coil in the output is 39938

Explanation:

We have given a step up transformer

Input voltage of transformer, that is primary voltage $v_p=20000volt$

Output voltage, that is secondary voltage $v_s=355000volt$

Number of turns in primary $N_p=2250$

For transformer we know that $\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$

$\frac{20000}{355000}=\frac{2250}{N_s}$

$N_s=39937.5$

As the number of turns can not be in fraction so number of turns in the output coil is 39938
