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

2 answers:

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.

Hope this helps.

What's the difference in a balanced force in an unbalanced force

AlekseyPX

There's no such thing as one balanced force or one unbalanced force.

If ALL of the forces in a GROUP of forces acting on the same object
all add up to zero, then we say that the GROUP of forces is balanced.

If they don't, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.

Two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
One force can't.

Which four equations can be used to solve for acceleration

emmainna [20.7K]

The four equations for acceleration are obtained from the three equations of motion and from second law of motion.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. So the change in velocity with respect to time can be determined using the three equations of motions.

So from the first equation of motion, v = u + at , we can determine the value of acceleration if time taken, final and initial velocity is known. The equation can be re-written as $a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

Similarly, from the second equation of motion, s = ut + 1/2 at², we can determine the equation for acceleration as $a = 2*\frac{s-ut}{t^{2} }$

So this is second equation for acceleration.

Then from the third equation of motion, $v^{2}- u^{2} = 2* a *s$

the acceleration equation is determined as $a = \frac{v^{2}-u^{2} }{2s}$

In addition to these three equation, another equation is present to determine the acceleration with respect to force from the Newton's second law of motion. F = Mass × acceleration. From this, acceleration = Force/mass.

So, these are the four equations for acceleration.

How does the color of water affect its evaporation rate

olga_2 [115]

Well my thinking is that the lighter the slower the water evaporates or the darker the faster becuase dark colors absorb light and allows a lot of heat to be generated or not at all.
