What causes hot spot volcanoes to form?

Physics
1 answer:
den301095 [7]3 years ago
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.

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure iron cube that has a volume of 3.70cm cubed?
Arlecino [84]
To determine the amount in grams of the iron, we need data on the density of iron. From literature, it has a value of <span>p=7.9 g/cm3. We simply multiply the volume to the density. We do as follows:

mass = 3.70 (7.9) = 29.23 g Fe

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Aleks04 [339]

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.

Rules for naming Ionic compounds

  • Frist Rule
    The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
  • Second rule
    When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
    Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
  • Third rule
    If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
    If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
  • Fourth rule
    If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).

The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
