What controls whether a lava flow is aa or pahoehoe

Physics
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Basaltic lava

Basaltic lava generally takes two distinct forms known by the Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa. Pahoehoe has a smooth wavy surface that resembles twisted rope. It advances by extruding molten toes of lava beneath a thin, flexible crust. As it travels pahoehoe lava often changes to blocky flows called aa.

A 1500 kg car traveling east at 40 km/hr turns a corner and speeds up to a velocity of 50 km/hr due north. What is the change in
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

96046  Ns.

Explanation:

We shall represent velocity in vector form considering east direction as + ve x axis and north as + y direction.

40 km/h in the east

V₁ = 40 i

V₂ = 50j

momentum p₁ = mV₁

= 1500 X 40 i

= 60000 i

Momentum p₂ = mV₂

= 1500 X 50j

= 75000 j

Change in momentum

p₂ - p₁

75000j - 60000i

Magnitude of change

= \sqrt{(750000)^2 +(60000)^2

= 96046  Ns.

n a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (This is because the initial kinetic
Annette [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) starting from rest , so u = o and initial kinetic energy = 0 .

Let mass of the skier = m

Kinetic energy gained = potential energy lost

= mgh = mg l sinθ

= m x 9.8 x 70 x sin 30

= 343 m

Total kinetic energy at the base = 343 m  + 0 = 343 m .

b )

In this case initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x m x 2.5²

= 3.125 m

Total kinetic energy at the base

= 3.125 m  + 343 m

= 346.125 m

c ) It is not surprising as energy gained due to gravitational force by the earth is enormous . So component of energy gained due to gravitational force far exceeds the initial kinetic energy . Still in a competitive event , the fractional initial kinetic energy may be the deciding factor .

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20.0 m/s. When it has left the bat for a time of 0.250 s (Assume air resis
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The distance is 5 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 20.0 m/s

Time t = 0.250 s

We need to calculate the horizontal distance

The distance traveled by the baseball with horizontal velocity in time t is given by

Using formula for horizontal distance

d = v\times t

d = 20.0\times0.250

d=5\ m

Hence, The distance is 5 m.

1. What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

x=?

dt=?

vi=23m/s

vf=0m/s (it stops)

d=0.25m/s^2

time =

vf=vi+d: 0=23m/s+(0.25m/s^2)t

t=92s

displacement=

vf^2=vi^2+2a(dx)

23^2=0^2+2(0.25m/s^2)x =-1058m

Explanation:

you can find time from vf = vi + a(Dt): 0 = 23 m/s + (0.25 m/s/s)t so t = 92 s and you can find the displacement from vf2 = vi2 + 2a(Dx) and find the answer in one step: 232 = 02 + 2(0.25 m/s/s)x so x = -1058 m
