WHAT DOES DENSITY HAVE TO DO WITH PLATE TECTONICS? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The reason for the differences in density is the composition of rock in the plates. When two plates come in contact with each other through plate tectonics, scientists can use the density of the plates to predict what will happen. Whichever plate is more dense will sink, and the less dense plate will float over it.

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.1 m, is sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflect
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

 A_resulting = 0.2 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze the impact of the pulse with the pole, this is a fixed obstacle that does not move therefore by the law of action and reluctant, the force that the pole applies on the rope is of equal magnitude to the force of the rope on the pole (pulse), but opposite directional, so the reflected pulse reverses its direction and sense.

With this information we analyze a point on the string where the incident pulse is and each reflected with an amplitude A = 0.1 m, the resulting is

           A_res = 2A

           A_resultant = 2 .01

           A_resulting = 0.2 m

How does the Sun's gravity influence tides?
nevsk [136]

Answer: <em>Around each new moon and full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon arrange themselves more or less along a line in space. Then the pull on the tides increases, because the gravity of the sun reinforces the moon's gravity. ... This is the spring tide: the highest (and lowest) tide. Spring tides are not named for the season.</em>
