What do you think a divergent (constructive) boundary is? How do plates interact with each other?

Physics

skad [1K]3 years ago

Answer:Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. Tectonic plates can interact in one of three ways. They can move toward one another, or converge; move away from one another, or diverge; or slide past one another, a movement known as transform motion. All plate margins along which plate movement is occurring have one thing in common—earthquakes.

Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. ... This causes the oceanic plate to buckle and usually results in a new mid-ocean ridge forming and turning the obduction into subduction.

Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit below.
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

30Ω

Explanation:

To calculate the equivalent resistance in the circuit, do the following:

Step 1:

10Ω and 20Ω are in series connection. Therefore their equivalent is: 10 + 20 = 30Ω

Step 2:

The equivalent resistance (30Ω) obtained from the above is in parallel connection with 30Ω resistance shown in the diagram above.

Therefore their equivalent is given by:

1/30 + 1/30 = 2/30 = 1/15.

Now invert to obtain the equivalent

Therefore, the equivalent is 15Ω

Step 3:

Determination of the overall equivalent of the resistance of the circuit.

The new equivalent resistance 15Ω obtained above is in series connection with 15Ω resistance in the diagram above.

Therefore their equivalent is given by:

15Ω + 15Ω = 30Ω

Therefore, the equivalent resistance in the circuit is 30Ω

What will be the weight of a box, mass 10Kg on the surface of a hypothetical planet having mass double of Earth and the radius i
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

           W ’= 21.78 kg

Explanation:

The expression for weight is

          W = m g

let's look for the acceleration of gravity with the universal law of gravitation

          F = G m M / r2

          F = m (G M / r2)

without comparing the two equations

          g’= G M / r2

in that case M = 2 Mo and r = 3 ro

where mo and ro are the mass and radius of the earth

         we substitute

         g ’= G 2Mo / (3r₀) 2

         G ’= 2/9 G Mo / r₀²

         g ’= 2/9 g

the weight of the body on this planet is

         W ’= m g’

          W ’= m 2/9 g

let's calculate

          W ’= 2/9 10 9.8

           W ’= 21.78 kg

What will be the acceleration of an 8 kg object when something hits it with an 12 N force?
liraira [26]
\sf Force = mass \times acceleration\\\\12~N = 8~kg \times acceleration\\\\ acceleration =  \frac{12~N}{8~kg} \\\\\boxed {\sf a = 1.5~ \frac{m}{s^2} }

If a ball is dropped from a height​ (H) its velocity will increase until it hits the ground​ (assuming that aerodynamic drag due
mario62 [17]

Answer:

9.801 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 39 ft/s

s = Displacement = 720 cm = 7.2 m

a = Acceleration

Converting to m/s

39\ ft/s=\frac{39}{3.281}=11.88\ m/s

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{11.88^2-0^2}{2\times 7.2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.801\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the ball is 9.801 m/s²
