Which of the following is a theory stating that one plate is forced beneath another plate?

A paper airplane is thrown westward at a rate of 6 m/s. The wind is blowing at 8 m/s towards the north. Which of the following d

Andrew [12]

since airplane is thrown towards west with speed 6 m/s

while air is blowing with speed 8 m/s towards north

so here the net speed of air plane will be the resultant of airplane speed and wind speed always

SO here we can say it would be a combination of vector along west with must be of length 6 m/s and other vector is towards north with is of length 8 m/s

so correct answer must be 1st option

As your hand moves back and forth to generate longitudinal pulses in a spiral spring, your hand completes 3.19 back-and-forth cy

lesantik [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that one hand completes 3.19 vibrations in 8.46 sec. Therefore, in one second the number of vibrations will be as follows.

$\frac{3.19}{8.46}$

= 0.377 vibrations

Hence, frequency (f) = 0.38 Hz

Now, formula to calculate the speed is as follows.

v = $f \times \lambda$

or, $\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

= $\frac{0.6 cm/s}{0.38}$

= 1.57 cm

Thus, we can conclude that the wavelength is 1.57 cm.

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass

 m = son's mass = M/3

 V = father's initial speed

 v = son's initial speed  (1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2

 M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2

 V^2/v^2 = 1/4

 V = v/2  Second equation:

 (1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2

 = (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2

 cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s

 (V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2

 V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2

 V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th

Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes $\beta= 0.3\ cm$

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

$\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}$

$\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=7200\ \AA$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .
