Answer;

Continental margin

Explanation;

-Continental margin is the section of the ocean is composed of the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise.

-The continental margin is that portion of the ocean that separates the continents from the deep ocean floor. The continental margin is usually subdivided into three major sections: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. In addition to these sections, one of the most important features of the continental margin is the presence of very large submarine canyons that cut their way through the continental slope and, less commonly, the continental shelf.

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the <span>continental margin</span><span>.

</span>The continental shelf is the portion of the land mass that extends into ocean water.

Continental slope begins where the continental shelf ends. It does exactly what its name implies and serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust.

The continental slope divides the continental and oceanic crusts. Over a period of time, soil, rocks, and debris wash down the steep sides of a continental slope due to the influence of gravity. They pile up at the bottom of the slope and form a small ridge called continental rise.

If an atomic nucleus were the size of a dime how far away might one of its electrons be?
mihalych1998 [28]
The radius of a nucleus of hydrogen is approximately r_{n1}=1\cdot 10^{-15}m, while we can use the Borh radius as the distance of an electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom: r_{e1}=5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m

The radius of a dime is approximately r_{n2} = 9\cdot 10^{-3}m: if we assume that the radius of the nucleus is exactly this value, then we  can find how far is the electron by using the proportion
r_{n1}:r_{e1}=r_{n2}:r_{e2}
from which we find
r_{e2}= \frac{r_{e1} r_{n2}}{r_{n1}}= \frac{(5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m)(9\cdot 10^{-3}m)}{1 \cdot 10^{-15}m}=477 m

So, if the nucleus had the size of a dime, we would find the electron approximately 500 meters away.

Explanation:

a) the expression for ideal gases is PV = nRT

     Temperature

b) The internal energy is E = K T

      Temperature

c)  S = ΔQ/T

In an isolated system ΔQ is zero, entropy  is constant

A bicyclist travels 4.5 km west, then travels 6.7 km at an angle 27.0 degrees South of West. What is the magnitude of the bicycl
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<em>10.90km</em>

Explanation:

Magnitude of the total displacement is expressed using the equation

d = √dx²+dy²

dx is the horizontal component of the displacement

dy is the vertical component of the displacement

dy = -6.7sin27°

dy = -6.7(0.4539)

dy = -3.042

For the  horizontal component of the displacement

dx = -4.5 - 6.7cos27

dx = -4.5 -5.9697

dx = -10.4697

Get the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement

Recall that: d = √dx²+dy²

d = √(-3.042)²+(-10.4697)²

d = √9.2538+109.6146

d = √118.8684

<em>d = 10.90km</em>

<em>Hence the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement is 10.90km</em>

<em></em>
