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 car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present). The mass of the girl is 29.8 kg an
jonny [76]

Answer:

28.81 m

Explanation:

Ff = -123

m * a  = -123

(29.8+10.3) * a = -123

a = -123/40.1 = -3.07

We know,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0^2 = 13.3^2 + 2*(-3.07)*s

s = 176.89/6.14 = 28.81
