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

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.

What is the strength of the electric field between two parallel conducting plates separated by 1.00 cm and having a potential di
raketka [301]

Answer:

E=3.22*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Separation Distance d=1.0cm =0.01m

Potential difference V=3.22 * 10^4 V

Generally the equation for Electric Field strength is mathematically given by

 E=\frac{v}{d}

 E=\frac{3.22*10^4}{0.01}

 E=3.22*10^6 N/C

A tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.0600 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.4 m/s and returns the shot with the ball
lora16 [44]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.06 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 50.4 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -37 m/s (As it returns)  

(a) Let J is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball by the racket. It can be calculated as the change in momentum as :

J=m(v-u)

J=0.06\times (-37-(50.4))  

J = -5.24 kg-m/s

(b) Let W is the work done by the racket on the ball. It can be calculated as the change in kinetic energy of the object.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times ((-37)^2-(50.4)^2)

W = -35.1348 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.

The total pressure for a fluid is a. the sum of the hydrostatic and static pressures. b. the sum of the hydrostatic and dynamic
m_a_m_a [10]

<h2>The option a is most appropriate </h2>

Explanation:

The total pressure due to liquid column at any place is the sum of

( i ) pressure due to liquid column called hydrostatic pressure

( ii ) the pressure due to air column above the liquid column , which is called the static pressure

Thus total pressure is the sum of hydrostatic and static pressure .

Thus the option a is most appropriate
