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.

The friends start by discussing what they know with respect to electric and magnetic fields. Alexa mentions several differences
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A. "The electric force vector is along the direction of the electric field, whereas the magnetic force vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field."

D. "The kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in an electric field is not altered, whereas the kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is either increased or decreased, depending on the direction of motion."

Explanation:

Electric fields originate from voltage differences, the higher the voltage, the stronger the resulting field. Magnetic fields originate from electric currents, a stronger current results in a stronger field. An electric field exists even if there is no current. When there is current, the magnitude of the magnetic field will change with power consumption, but the strength of the electric field will remain the same.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

A_r = \pi r^2

r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141

r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m

A severe storm on January 10, 1992, caused a cargo ship near the Aleutian Islands to spill 29,000 rubber ducks and other bath to
Anna35 [415]
The distance that the rubber ducks traveled = 1600 miles.
The time taken to travel this distance = 10 months.

By definition, the approximate average speed of the ocean is
v = (1600 miles)/(10 months)

Note that
1 mile = 1609 m 
10 months = (10 months)*(30 days/month) *(24 hours/day)
                  = 7200 hours (approx.)
                  = 7200*3600 = 2.592 x 10⁷ s

Therefore
v = \frac{(1600 \, m)*(1609 \, \frac{m}{mi}) }{(10 \, months)*(2.592 \times 10^{7} \, \frac{s}{10 \, months}) } = 0.0993 \, \frac{m}{s}

Also,
v = \frac{1600 \, m}{7200 \, h} =0.222 \, \frac{mi}{h}

Answer:
The average velocity is approximately 0.1 m/s, or 0.222 m/h.
