What does it mean for a plate to subduct?

Physics

SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

what does it mean for a plate to subduct?

Explanation:

Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries. Where the oceanic lithosphere of a tectonic plate converges with the less dense lithosphere of a second plate, the heavier plate dives beneath the second plate and sinks into the mantle.

What is the acceleration of a Porsche that can go from 15 mi/hr to 75 mi/hr in 4 seconds?
Elodia [21]

Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

A hiker starts at point P and walks 2.0 km due east and then walks at an angle of 30 degrees north of east for 1.4 km.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the hiker’s displacement is 2.96 km

Explanation:

Let the initial displacement of the hiker, = x = 2km

the final displacement of the hiker, = y = 1.4 km

The resultant of the two vectors, According to Pythagorean theorem is the vector sum of the two vectors.

R' = x' + y'

An ocean wave traveling in one direction has a wavelength of 1.0 m and a frequency of 1.25 Hz. Take the direction of wave propag
aliina [53]

Answer:

a) v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) y(3,10)=1.73 m    

Explanation:

a) The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\lambda f

Where:

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) The harmonic wave has the following equation:

y=Asin(kx-\omega t)

A is the amplitude (2 m)

k is the wavenumber (2π/λ)  

ω is the angular frequency (2πf)

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi x-2\pi*1.25 t)  

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) Here we need to find the heigth at x=3 m and t =10 s, so we need to find y(3,10).

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)              

y(3,10)=1.73 m              

I hope it helps you!
