The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla

lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

The 50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the first bulb is $P_1 = 100 \ W$

The power rating of the second bulb is $P_2 = 50 \ W$

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

$P_1 = V^2 R$

Where $V$ is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{P_1 }$

substituting values

$R_1 = \frac{V^2}{100}$

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

$R_2 = \frac{V^2}{50}$

From the above calculation we see that

$R_2 > R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 1 = I^2_1 R_1$

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as

$P_ 2 = I^2_2 R_2$

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

$I_1^2 = I_2^2$

This means that

$P \ \alpha \ R$

So when they are connected in series

$P_2 > P_1$

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

QveST [7]

Answer: BOTH ARE TRUE

Explanation: Nondestructive testing or Evaluation is a term used in the field of science and technology to describe the evaluations, analysis or testing carried out on components of materials without destroying any part or components of the test materials. It is very useful in scientific research or industrial engineering environments. When any disruption of physical structure or configuration of a component will lead to discontinuing of the test, and it may not affect the usefulness of the affected parts.

a ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 40 m/s. how high is the ball above the ground when it stops

NISA [10]

Answer:

80m, assuming g=10m/s^2

Explanation:

40m/s will be reduced to 0m/s in 4 seconds. 4 seconds x 40m/s would be 160m up, but you will only get half of that because you decelerate linearly to 0m/s. This leaves you with 4 x 20 = 80m.
