What causes hot spot volcanoes to form?

Physics

3 0

Answer:

A volcanic "hotspot" is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock. This melt, called magma, rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes.

What is the mass of an object which has a force of 600 N acting on it and is travelling
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

<em>The mass of the object is 40 Kg</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object is:

F = m.a

Where:

a = acceleration of the object.

m = mass of the object.

The mass can be calculated by solving for m:

\displaystyle m=\frac{F}{a}

The object has a net force of F=600 N acting on it and travels at a=15\ m/s^2, thus the mas is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{600}{15}

m = 40 Kg

The mass of the object is 40 Kg

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at lif
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

Explanation:

v(t)=-gt-v_e\times \ln \frac{m-rt}{m}

v = velocity of rocket at time t

g = Acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s^2

v_e = Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.

m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg

r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s

Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'

Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:

v(60)=-9.8 m/s^2\times 60 s-2,900m/s\times \ln (\frac{29,000 kg-170 kg/s\times 60 s}{2,9000 kg})

v(60) = 668.97 m/s

Height of the rocket = h

Velocity=\frac{Displacement}{time}

668.97 m/s=\frac{h}{60 s}

h=668.97 m/s\times 60 s=40,138.2 m = 40.1382 km

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
