Most geologic activity takes place at

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
5 0

Most of the geologic activity happens at the boundaries between tectonic plates where two plates meet. This activity occurs as plates interact, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountain building. Geographies that form at a plate boundary are determine by the direction of plate motion and by the type of crust at the boundary. 

Moreover, plate boundaries has three types namely; divergent plate boundaries where the two plates move away from each other, then convergent plate boundaries, here the two plates move towards each other and lastly, transform plate boundaries, in which the two plates slip past each other.

Although the acceleration due to gravity is the same on all objects, why do a flower petal
Inessa [10]

We know that acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects. But if we drop a flower petal and a hammer from the same height, the hammer falls faster. Why does this happen?

Let me try to explain. The petal falls slower as the resistance it faces by air slows it down much more. Even though the hammer is also affected by this resistance, the speed decrease is negligible due to its weight.

To simplify, a petal is much lighter than a hammer. Even though gravity accelerates them at the same speeds, the petal slows down due to air resistance but the hammer doesn't, as its weight counteracts the air resistance.

I may be confusing at times, so please ask me if you want anything clarified :)

Hope this helps you!

A film of oil that has an index of refraction of 1.45 rests on an optically flat piece of glass of index of refraction n = 1.60.
blagie [28]

Answer:

442.75862 nm

Explanation:

m = Order

n = Refractive index

\lambda = Wavelength

We have the relation of thickness and wavelength given by

2nt=m\lambda

The consecutive spectral line is given by

2nt=(m+1)\lambda

So,

\lambda=\dfrac{2nt}{m}\\\Rightarrow 642=\dfrac{2nt}{m}

and

428=\dfrac{2nt}{m+1}

Dividing the wavelengths we get

\dfrac{642}{428}=\dfrac{m+1}{m}\\\Rightarrow 1.5 m=m+1\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{1}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow m=2

t=\dfrac{m\lambda}{2n}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\lambda}{2n}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{642}{1.45}\\\Rightarrow t=442.75862\ nm

The film thickness of oil is 442.75862 nm

What does light means​
Talja [164]

Answer:

Light is a source of illumination, whether a natural one (like the sun) or an artificial one (like your lamp). Like light itself, the word can take a lot of different forms — it can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb, and it can mean "bright" or "not heavy".
