Answer:

The denser plate is subducted underneath the less dense plate

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates collide one oceanic plate is eventually subducted under the other. ... When two oceanic plates collide, the denser plate is subducted and some material rises upward and forms an ISLAND.

Answer:

C (I think)

Explanation:

Because when two oceanic plates converge, the denser plate will end up sinking below/under the less dense plate. Forms a subduction zone.

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is

Anna35 [415]

(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
$f= \frac{1}{T}$
since in our problem the period is $T=5.0 s$ , the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz$

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ :
$v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s$

Answer:

$5.33\ m/s$

Explanation:

$We\ know\ that,\\Momentum=Mass*Velocity\\p=mv\\Hence,\\Lets\ first\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=5*0.2=1\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Initial\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=2\ m/s\\Initial\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*2=0.6\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'Before\ Collision'=1+0.6=1.6\ kg\ m/s$

$Hence,\\Lets\ now\ consider\ the\ case\ of\ the\ two\ balls\ 'After\ Collision':\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0.2\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ green\ ball=0\ kg\ m/s\\\\Mass\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3\ kg\\Final\ Velocity\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=v\ m/s\\Final\ Momentum\ of\ the\ pink\ ball=0.3*v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s\\\\Total\ momentum\ of\ both\ the\ balls\ 'After\ Collision'=0+0.3v=0.3v\ kg\ m/s$

$As\ we\ know\ that,\\Through\ the\ law\ of\ conservation\ of\ momentum,\\In\ an\ isolated\ system:\\Total\ Momentum\ Before\ Collision=Total\ Momentum\ After\ Collision\\Hence,\\1.6=0.3v\\v=\frac{1.6}{0.3}=5.33\ m/s$
