When two oceanic plates converge, the plate with a greater density will subduct. This plate will partially melt, causing the for

mation of a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate. This line of volcanoes is called a(n) ______.

Answer:

Island arc

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates share a convergent type of plate boundary, the denser oceanic plate will subduct below the less dense oceanic plate. This will result in the formation of the subduction zone, where the rocks are being pulled down to the mantle. This subduction zone is typically marked by the presence of a narrow depression commonly known as an oceanic trench, that lies just above the zone.

The rocks of the subducting plate undergo partial melting and mix up with the magma that rises upwards towards the surface due to the force exerted by the convection currents. This later gives rise to the formation of volcanoes or a chain of volcanoes which are commonly known as an island arc.

A(n) _______ is a point level measuring system consisting of a circuit of two or more probes or electrodes, or an electrode and
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Conductivity probe

Explanation:

The Conductivity Probe consists of two electrodes(also referred to as probes)or an electrode and a wall vessel where the material in the vessel completes the circuit as the level rises in the vessel.

It is used in measuring solution conductivity or total ionic concentration of aqueous samples.

7. When will an object's displacement and distance traveled be different?
mariarad [96]

If an object changes direction while travelling will an object's displacement and distance travelled be different.

Some people believe that distance and displacement are simply different names for the same quantity. However, distance and displacement are not the same thing. If an object changes direction while travelling, the total distance travelled is greater than the displacement between those two points.

The magnitude of the displacement is always less than or equal to the distance because it is measured along the shortest path between two points.

When the direction of displacement does not change, the magnitude of the displacement and distance are the same. When a body travels in a straight line, for example, its displacement and distance are the same.

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD D=1.4

Second bright fringe y_2= 0.803 m

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}

Where

d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}

d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}

d=1.29*10^{-6}m

A centrifuge used in DNA extraction spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm producing a "g-force" on the sample that is 6000 times th
defon

Answer:

A) a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Explanation:

A) From Newton's first equation of motion, we can say that;

a = (ω - ω_o)/t. We are given that the centrifuge spins at a maximum rate of 7000rpm.

Let's convert to rad/s = 7000 × 2π/60 = 733.04 rad/s

Thus change in angular velocity = (ω - ω_o) = 733.04 - 0 = 733.04 rad/s

We are given; t = 10 s

Thus;

a = 733.04/10

a = 73.304 rad/s²

B) From Newton's third equation of motion, we can say that;

ω² = ω_o² + 2aΔθ

Where Δθ is angular displacement

Making Δθ the subject;

Δθ = (ω² - ω_o²)/2a

At this point, ω = 0 rad/s while ω_o = 733.04 rad/s

Thus;

Δθ = (0² - 733.04²)/(2 × 73.304)

Δθ = -537347.6416/146.608

Δθ = - 3665.2 rad

We will take the absolute value.

Thus, Δθ = 3665.2 rad

Technician A says that the evacuation process will remove dirt and debris from the refrigerant system. Technician B says that th
GuDViN [60]

Answer: Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Evacuation process is used in refrigeration systems to remove moisture, air and non-profit condensable gases in order to achieve maximum function of the system.

vacuum pump is used to draw the sealed AC system into a vacuum. Evacuation of a refrigerant system also helps to maintain pressure, this is so as pulling a vacuum on the system is simply removing matter (mostly air and nitrogen) from inside the system so that the pressure inside drops below atmospheric pressure.
