WHAT DOES DENSITY HAVE TO DO WITH PLATE TECTONICS? Explain

Physics
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]2 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 negatively-charged particle is slowly moving as it enters a region that has a constant magnetic field. If the velocity of the
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

no deflection and net force is zero. Moving in same direction and with same speed

Explanation:

Charge = negative

the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector is 0°, so the force is given by

F = q v B Sin 0

F = 0

As the force is zero so the charge particle moves with the same velocity and in the same direction.

there is no deflection in the path of negatively charged particle.

Two bodies of mass m₁ & m₂ are moving with the same velocity 'v' K.E. will be greater for??
boyakko [2]

Answer:

the one with a higher mass

Explanation:

The body with more mass will have the greater kinetic energy of the two.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of body. It is mathematically expressed as:

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

 Since the velocity of the two bodies are the same, and mass is directly proportional to kinetic energy, the body with more mass will have a higher kinetic energy.

 So between mass m1 and mass m2, the one with a greater mass will have a higher kinetic energy

Mechanics: design a decision tree to determine if an object is experiencing an unbalanced force, and using newton's laws of moti
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The decision designer is a step-wise process

Explanation:

A typical decision tree will be like this:

Are there any forces?

YES - then calculate the resultant forces              NO - Then no calculations are needed

IF YES - Are the forces balanced?                         NO - Then no calculations

IF YES - Then calculations can be done.

Resolve the forces to find the resultant of the forces in the question.

Joanne drives her car at a speed of 20 m/s. when she applied her breaks, a frictional force of 2000 N brought her car to a compl
Papessa [141]

Answer:

A) 1000 kg

Explanation:

vf = vi + at

0 = 20 + (a)(10)

a = -2.0 m/s^2

F = ma

2000 = (m)(2)

m = 1000 kg
