Given:
speed of 0.40meters/seconds
1,800 Newton's horizontal force
Required:
Power of the horse
Solution:
P = F(D/T) where P is power in
watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time
P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)
P = 720 Watts
Answer:
A) The continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other. B) Divergent plate in Mid-Atlantic Ridge with material flowing into the ocean. C) A plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling "Hot Spot" and created a volcanic island chain over the time
Explanation:
A) The basic thought is, that instead of being permanent fixtures of the earth's surface, the continents and ocean basins undergo continuous change. Both are parts of lithospheric plates that move against each other, and in the process new crust is created at midoceanic ridges (spreading centers), and old crust is consumed at convergent plate boundaries (subduction zones).
B) There are basically three different types of plate boundaries:
Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
The best known of the divergent boundaries is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This submerged mountain range, which extends from the Arctic Ocean to beyond the southern tip of Africa, is but one segment of the global mid-ocean ridge system that encircles the Earth.
C) The linear arrangement of many seamounts indicates that they formed because the plate moved over a stationary site of magma upwelling, a so called mantle "Hot Spot". Seamounts are submarine volcanoes that may finally build above the water level, in which case they are called islands. If seamounts rise above sea level (due to buildup of material in a cone or upwelling mantle pushes up plate), they are subject to wave erosion and colonization by reefs, with both processes tending to create a flat top on the original volcanic cone.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let suppose that centrifuge is rotating at constant angular speed, which means that resultant acceleration is equal to radial acceleration at given radius, whose formula is:
Where:
- Angular speed, measured in radians per second.
- Radius of rotation, measured in meters.
The angular speed is first determined:
Where 
is the angular speed, measured in revolutions per minute.
If 
, the angular speed measured in radians per second is:
Now, if 
and 
, the resultant acceleration is then:
If gravitational acceleration is equal to 9.807 meters per square second, then the radial acceleration is equivalent to 1006.382 times the gravitational acceleration. That is:
