What causes hot spot volcanoes to form?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A volcanic "hotspot" is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock. This melt, called magma, rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes.

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without friction. A 0.02 kg bullet is moving from right to left with an angular momentum of 9 kgm2s just before it strikes the cylinder near its bottom and gets stuck at the outer radius. What is the angular velocity (magnitude and direction) of the cylinder bullet system after the impact

Answers

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.

A rookie quarter back throws a football with an initial upward velocity component of 12.0 m/s and a horizontal velocity component of 20.0 m/s. Ignore resistance. How much time is required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory

Answers

Answer:

t = 1.22 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial upward velocity component of a football = 12 m/s

The horizontal velocity component is 20 m/s

We need to find the time required for the football to reach the highest point of the trajectory. Let the time is t.

Using first equation of motion to solve it such that,

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

a = -g

so,

[tex]t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{12}{9.8}\\\\t=1.22\ s[/tex]

So, the required time taken by the football to reach the highest point is 1.22 seconds.

La distancia por carretera de Chitré a Parita es de 12 km; exprese en pies ésta distanciaLa distancia por carretera de Chitré a Parita es de 12 km; exprese en pies ésta distancia

Answers

Answer:

La distancia por carretera de Chitré a Parita es de 12 km o 39370.08 pies.

Explanation:

La regla de tres es una forma de resolver problemas de proporcionalidad entre tres valores conocidos y un valor desconocido, estableciendo una relación de proporcionalidad entre todos ellos.

Si la relación entre las magnitudes es directa, es decir, cuando una magnitud aumenta, también lo hace la otra (o cuando una magnitud disminuye, también lo hace la otra), se debe aplicar la regla directa de tres. Para resolver una regla directa de tres, se debe seguir la siguiente fórmula, siendo a, b y c los valores conocidos y x el valor a determinar:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Entonces [tex]x=\frac{c*b}{a}[/tex]

La regla directa de tres es la regla que se aplica en este caso donde hay un cambio de unidades. Para realizar esta conversión de unidades, primero debes saber que 1 km = 3280,84 pies. Entonces, si 1 km son 3280,84 pies, ¿cuántos pies son 12 km?

1 km ⇒ 3280.84 pies

12 km ⇒ x

[tex]x=\frac{12 km*3280.84 pies}{1 km}[/tex]

x= 39370.08 pies

La distancia por carretera de Chitré a Parita es de 12 km o 39370.08 pies.

Fish are hung on a spring scale to determine their mass (most fishermen feel no obligation to truthfully report the mass). What is the force constant of the spring in such a scale if it the spring stretches 8.50 cm for a 8.1 kg load

Answers

Answer:

k = 933.88 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a load, m = 8.1 kg

The displacement in the spring, x = 8.5 cm

We need to find the force constant of the spring. We know that Hooke's law is given by :

F = -kx

Also,

F = mg (Force due to its weight)

So,

[tex]k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{8.1\times 9.8}{0.085}\\\\k=933.88\ N/m[/tex]

So, the force constant of the spring is equal to 933.88 N/m.

Two charges, each q, are separated by a distance r, and exert mutual attractive forces of F on each other. If both charges become 2q and the distance becomes 3r, what are the new mutual forces

Answers

Answer:

F = ⅔ F₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

         F = k q₁q₂ / r²

let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions

          F₀ = k q² / r²

now the charge changes q₁ = q₂ = 2q and the new distance is r = 3 r

       

we substitute

          F = k 4q² / 9 r²

          F = k q² r² 4/9

          F = ⅔ F₀

The equation provided (from the textbook) first defines the elastic potential energy of a spring as ΔUsp = −(WB + WW), where WB is work the spring does on an attached block and WW is work the spring does on the wall to which it is attached. But WW is ignored in the next step. Why?

Answers

Answer:

The given potential energy of the spring is expressed as follows;

ΔUsp = -(WB + WW)

Where;

WB = Th work done by the spring on the block to which it is attached

WW = The work done by the spring on the wall

We recall that work done, W = Force applied × Distance moved in the direction of the force

The work done by the spring on the block, WB = The spring force × The distance the block moves

The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × The distance the wall moves

However, given that the wall does not move, we have;

The distance the wall moves = 0

∴ The work done by the spring on the wall, WW = The spring force × 0 = 0 J

Therefore, WW = 0 J, and the spring does not do work on the wall, and WW can be ignored in the next subsequent) steps

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Im going to be using the rules for significant digits properly so I hope you're quite familiar with them. The equation we need for this is

F - f = ma where F is the applied force (our unknown), f is the frictional force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Filling in:

F - 18.2 = 2.25(1.50) and

F = 2.25(1.50) + 18.2  Do the multiplication first and round to get

F = 3.38 + 18.2   The addition rules tell us that we will be rounding to the tenths place after we add to get

F = 21.6 N

The distance between two successive crests of a certain transverse wave is 1.40 m. Eight crests (7 waves) pass a given point along the direction of travel every 15.0 s. How fast are the waves traveling

Answers

Answer:

the speed of the wave is 0.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

distance between two successive crests, λ = 1.4 m

number of crests, n = 8

number of waves formed = 7

The total distance covered by the wave, d= 7λ = 7 x 1.4 = 9.8 m

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The speed of the wave is calculated as;

V = d/t

V = 9.8 / 15

V = 0.65 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave is 0.65 m/s

A train accelerates from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 15.0 second. Find its acceleration and the distance it travels during this time

Answers

Answer:

a. Acceleration, a = 0.28 m/s²

b. Distance, S = 156 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 30 km/h

Final velocity = 45 km/h

Time = 15 seconds

a. To find the acceleration;

Conversion:

30 km/h to m/s = 30*1000/3600 = 8.33 m/s

45 km/h to m/s = 45*1000/3600 = 12.5 m/s

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

[tex]Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation;

[tex]a = \frac{12.5 - 8.3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{4.2}{15}[/tex]

Acceleration, a = 0.28 m/s²

b. To find the distance travelled, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] S = 8.3*15 + \frac {1}{2}*(0.28)*15^{2}[/tex]

[tex] S = 124.5 + 0.14*225[/tex]

[tex] S = 124.5 + 31.5 [/tex]

S = 156 meters
