alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<em>Rifting is defined as <u>the splitting apart of a single tectonic plate into two or more tectonic plates separated by divergent plate boundaries</u>. The rifting of a continental tectonic plate creates normal fault valleys, small tilted block mountains, and volcanism. The process is illustrated in Fig. 5.4.</em>

Comic strip hero superman meets an asteroid in outer space and hurls it at 100m/s. he has a mass of "m". The astroid has a mass
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

A 3.53-g sample of aluminum completely reacts with oxygen to form 6.67 g of aluminum oxide. find percent composition
katrin2010 [14]

The mass percent composition of aluminum is 52.9% in aluminum oxide.

Mass of the aluminum = 3.53 g

Mass of the aluminum oxide = 6.67 g.

The mass percent of a substance is the mass of the substance divided by the mass of the compound into 100.

Aluminum reacts with oxygen to form aluminum oxide.

The overall balanced equation for the reaction is,

Aluminum + Oxygen→Aluminum \: oxygen

4Al +3O _{2}→2Al _{2}O _{3}

The mass percent composition of aluminum in the aluminum oxide is,

Mass  \: percent = \frac{ Mass \:  of \:  the  \: substance}{ Mass  \: of \:  the \:  compound} \times 100

Mass  \: percent =  \frac{Mass  \: of \:  the  \: aluminum}{ Mass \:  of \:  the \:  aluminum \: oxide } \times 100

Mass \:  percent  =  \frac{3.53}{6.67 } \times 100

= 52.9 %

Therefore, the mass percent composition of aluminum is 52.9% in aluminum oxide.

A copper wire has a radius of 3.5 mm. When forces of a certain equal magnitude but opposite directions are applied to the ends o
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of copper wire, R = 3.5 mm

extension of the copper wire, e =  5.0×10⁻³ L

L is the original length of the copper wire,

Young's modulus for copper, Y =  11×10¹⁰Pa.

Young's modulus, Y is given as the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain, measured in the same unit as Young's modulus.

Y =\frac{Tensile \ stress}{Tensile \ strain} \\\\Tensile \ stress = Y*Tensile \ strain\\\\But, Tensile \ strain = \frac{extension}{original \ Length} = \frac{5.0*10^{-3} L}{L} = 5.0*10^{-3}\\\\Tensile \ stress = 11*10^{10} *5.0*10^{-3} \ = 550*10^6 \ Pa

Therefore, the tensile stress on the wire is 550 MPa.
