Explain how rifting occurs.

1 answer:

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>

Three out of four crashes happen at a speed of __________ miles per hour or less.

Nitella [24]

<span>The answer is 45 miles per hour or even less. Most crashes occur at a speed of 45 miles per hour or even less, and most of these accidents occur close to our homes. These crashes may also be caused by different factors, such as being drunk or sudden occurrences that are not controllable, which is why it is best to precede with caution when driving at crowded areas.</span>

A ball initially at rest rolls down a hill with an acceleration of 3.3 m/s2. If it accelerates for 7.5 s, how far will it move?

goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this case initial velocity = 0 m/s, acceleration = 3.3 $m/s^2$ , we need to calculate displacement when time = 7.5 seconds.

Substituting

$s=0*7.5+\frac{1}{2} *3.3*7.5^2\\ \\ =92.8125 meter$

So ball will move 92.8125 meter along the cliff in 7.5 seconds.

Two cylindrical resistors are made from the same material. The shorter one has length L, diameter D, and resistance R1. The long

nordsb [41]

Answer:

the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Explanation:

Given that :

For the shorter cylindrical resistor

Length = L

Diameter = D

Resistance = R1

For the longer cylindrical resistor

Length = 8L

Diameter = 4D

Resistance = R2

So;

We all know that the resistance of a given material can be determined by using the formula :

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{A}$

where;

A = πr²

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

For the shorter cylindrical resistor ; we have:

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

since 2 r = D

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}$

For the longer cylindrical resistor ; we have:

$R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}$

since 2 r = D

$R = \dfrac{ \rho (8 ) L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{32\rho L }{\pi \ (4 D) ^2}$

$R = \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D) ^2}$

Sp;we can equate the shorter cylindrical resistor to the longer cylindrical resistor as shown below :

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}}{ \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D) ^2}}$

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} ={ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D ^2}}* { \dfrac {\pi \ (D) ^2} {2\rho L}}$

$\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} =2$

${R_s}=2{R_L}$

Thus; the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.
