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!

I hope this answer helps, and I also hope this answer is what you are looking for!

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s

(a) the force constant of the spring

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m
