The current in some DC circuits decays according to the function I=I0e−t/τ, where I is the current at some point in time, I0 is

almond37 [142]

Answer: 1.95

Explanation:

You should start off from the decay formula and solve for τ:

$I = I_{0}e^{\frac{t}{\tau\\ } }$

$\frac{I}{I_{0}} = e^{\frac{-t}{\tau} }$

Apply inverse logarithmic function:

$ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} ) = \frac{-t}{\tau}$

The final form will be:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5s}{ln(\frac{0.2A}{1.2A} )}$

Inputing values for I, IO, and t:

$\tau=\frac{-3.5S}{ln(\frac{0.2 A}{1.2 A} )} = 1.95$

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is

il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

A gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl

Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

initially:

pressure of gas, $= P_1$

volume of gas, $= V_1$

finally:

pressure of gas, $= P_2$

volume of gas, $= V_2$

To solve for final volume $V_2$

According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.

According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically:

$P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}$
