Answer:

A. Highly viscous and associated with violent eruptions

Explanation:

Most silica rich magma have high viscosity and huge amount of trapped gases within them. As they continue to upwell and expand, the gases causes violent eruptions near Volcanoes. Most granitic/rhyolitic magma are silica rich.

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Silica rich magma are those in which the magma has more than 65 % of silica content. The higher the silica content, the higher is its viscosity i.e viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to the silica content of magma.

This highly viscous magma inside the volcanoes moves sluggishly and mostly gets concentrated in the vents and seals them. With time, when the pressure exerted by the magma is too high, it creates violent eruptions through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

A spherical capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has a radi

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: a) 73.41 10^-12 F; b)4.83* 10^3 N/C; c) 3.66 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the following: The Capacity= Charge/Potential Difference

As we know the capacity is value that depend on the geometry of the capacitor, in our case two concentric spheres.

So Potential Difference between the spheres is given by:

ΔV=- $\int\limits^a_b {E} \, dx$

Where E = k*Q/ r^2

so we have $\int\limits^a_b {K+Q1/r} \, dr$

then

Vb-Va=k*Q(1/b-1/a)=kQ (ab/b-a)

Finally using C=Q/ΔV=ab/(k(b-a))

To caclulate the electric firld we first obtain the charge

Q=ΔV*C=120 V*73.41 10^-12 F=8.8 10^-9 C

so E=KQ/r^2 for both values of r

r=12.8 cm ( in meters)

r2=14.7 cm

E(r1)=4.83* 10^3 N/C

E(r2)=3.66 *10^3 N/C

A girl throws a tennis ball upward with an initial velocity of 4 m/s. What is the maximum displacement of the ball?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

0.82 m

Explanation:

The ball is in free fall - uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration downward, $a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity). So we can use the following suvat equation to solve the problem:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u = 4 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

At the maximum displacement, v = 0 (the velocity becomes zero). Substituting and solving for s, we find:

$s=-\frac{u^2}{2a}=-\frac{4^2}{2(-9.8)}=0.82 m$

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

You connect a 100-resistor, a 800-mH inductor, and a 10.0-uF capacitor in series across a 60.0-Hz, 120-V (peak) source. The impe

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Impedance, Z = 107 ohms

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 100 ohms

Inductance, $L=800\ mH=800\times 10^{-3}\ H=0.8\ H$

Capacitance, $C=10\ \mu F=10\times 10^{-6}\ F=10^{-5}\ F$

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

Voltage, V = 120 V

The impedance of the circuit is given by :

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_C-X_L)^2}$ ...........(1)

Where

$X_C$ is the capacitive reactance, $X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC}$

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \times 60\times 10^{-5}}=265.65\ \Omega$

$X_L$ is the inductive reactance, $X_L={2\pi fL}$

$X_L={2\pi \times 60\times 0.8}=301.59\ \Omega$

So, equation (1) becomes :

$Z=\sqrt{(100)^2+(265.65-301.59)^2}$

Z = 106.26 ohms

Z = 107 ohms

So, the impedance of the circuit is 107 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

Assuming the bar has no weight where does the fulcrum (the top point of the tringle) need to be positioned for the two sides to

Inessa05 [86]

Fulcrum need to be positioned balanced with weight on both the sides following law of lever.

What is the physical law of the lever?

It is the foundation for issues with weight and balance. According to this rule, a lever is balanced when the weight multiplied by the arm on one side of the fulcrum, which serves as the pivot point for the device, equals the weight multiplied by the arm on the opposing side.
The lever is balanced, in other words, when the sum of the moments about the fulcrum is zero.
The situation in which the positive moments (those attempting to turn the lever clockwise) equal the negative moments is known as this (those that try to rotate it counterclockwise).
Moving the weights closer to or away from the fulcrum, as well as raising or lowering the weights, can alter the balance point, or CG, of the lever.
