Mid-ocean ridges happen along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing large volcanic eruptions of basalt.

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em> k is the spring constant</em>

<em> x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring = 5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positive

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be " $-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$ ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒ $U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}$

The expression of force will be,

⇒ $F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}$

⇒ $=-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})$

⇒ $=-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.

5. Each of five satellites makes a circular orbit about an object that is much more massive than any of the satellites. The mass

Vikentia [17]

The options of the question are missing. I have attached it.

Answer:

Satellite in option B will have the greatest speed.

Explanation:

From kepplers third law, we know that

V² = GM/R

Thus, v = √(GM/R)

Where;

v is velocity

G is gravitational constant

M is mass

R is radius

Looking at the options, let's start from the first one;

Option A

Here, mass = (1/2)m and radius = R

So, v = √(GM/R) thus v = √(G(m/2)/R) = √(Gm/2R)

Option B

Here, mass = m and radius = (1/2)R

Thus v = √(Gm/(R/2)) = √(2Gm/R)

Option C

Here, mass = m and radius = R

Thus v = √(Gm/R)

Option D

Here, mass = m and radius = 2R

Thus v = √(Gm/(2R))

Now, inspecting all the options, it's clear that option B will have the greatest velocity because it's numerator is the biggest and will in turn lead to higher velocity.
