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.

Upper section of the lithosphere
almond37 [142]
The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust (the "skin" of rock on the outer layer of planet Earth), as well as the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere extends from the surface of Earth to a depth of about 44–62 mi (70–100 km).

A rectangular loop with dimensions 4.20 cm by 9.50 cm carries current I. The current in the loop produces a magnetic field at th
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

I=1.48 A

Explanation:

Given that

B=3.1 x 10⁻5 T

b= 4.2 cm

l= 9.5 cm

The relationship for magnetic field  and current given as

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

Where

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

By putting the values

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+b^2}}{lb}

D=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.042^2+0.095^2}}{0.042\times 0.095}

D=26.03 m⁻¹

B=\dfrac{2\mu _oI}{\pi}D

3.1\times 10^{-5}=\dfrac{2\times 4\times \pi \times 10^{-7} I}{\pi}\times 26.03

I=\dfrac{3.1\times 10^{-5}}{{2\times 4\times 10^{-7} }\times 26.03}

I=1.48 A

A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes
Ivan

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p is the distance to the object and q is the distance to the image.

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

In a tape recorder, the tape is pulled past the read-and-write heads at a constant speed by the drive mechanism. Consider the re
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Torque decreases .

Explanation:

The tape is pulled at constant speed , speed v is constant , so there is

v = ω r where ω is angular speed and r is radius , As radius decreases , angular speed ω increases , So there is angular acceleration .

Let it be α . Let I be moment of inertia of reel .

Reel is in the form of disc

I = 1/2 m r²

I x α = torque

1/2 m r² x α =  torque

As the reel is untapped , its mass decreases , r also decreases , so torques also decreases .
