Volcanoes: Most volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates on the surface of the earth. These plates basically float on mantle. Sometimes these plates will sink into the mantle. The rock becomes so hot it melts. Gradually, the molten rock (the melted rock) will then make it's way back up. When it surfaces it, we call it "lava". As lava layers, it slowly forms a volcano.

Valleys: Basically formed by a river valley. The stream shapes the Earth's crust over time into a funnel-like v-shape or u-shape (depending on the flow of the stream).

Mountains: When plates collide and through pressure start building up into a cone shape.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is - c. Spaceship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

Explanation:

In this case, if turned on thruster #2 then it will exert force on the west side as thruster 2 is on the east side and it can be understood by Newton's third law that says each action has the same but opposite reaction.

As the spaceship engine applies force on the east side then according to the law the exhauster gas applies on towards west direction. It will try to decrease the velocity of the spaceship however, the direction of floating still be east side initally.

In which part of the ear are the vibrations occurring in a gas, liquid, and solid?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

eardrum is the correct answer

hope this helps ❤️

Explanation:

Sound waves enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. Three small bones transmit these vibrations to the cochlea. This produces electrical signals which pass through the auditory nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.

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

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.

A 3.91 kg cart is moving at 5.7 m/s when it collides with a 4 kg cart which was at rest. They collide and stick together.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$
