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 solenoid with 35 turns per centimeter carries a current I. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle that has a radius
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The current of the solenoid is 0.0129 A.

Explanation:

The movement of the electron within the solenoid in a circle is produced by equaling the magnetic force and the centripetal force, as follows:

F_{B} = F_{c}

e*v \mu_{0}*n*I = \frac{m*v^{2}}{r}

I = \frac{m*v}{e* \mu_{0}*n*r}

Where:

I: is the current

m: is the electron's mass = 9.1x10⁺³¹ kg

v: is the electron's speed = 3.0x10⁵ m/s

μ₀: is the permeability magnetic = 4πx10⁻⁷ T.m/A

n: is the number of turns per unit length = 35/cm

r: is the radius of the circle = 3.0 cm

e: is the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C  

I = \frac{m*v}{e*\mu_{0}*n*r} = \frac{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg*3.0 \cdot 10^{5} m/s}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*4\pi \cdot 10^{-7} T.m/A*3500/m*0.03 m} = 0.0129 A  

Therefore, the current of the solenoid is 0.0129 A.

I hope it helps you!

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi
oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>
