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.

tyhe mass of an object is 117 g adding 1200j of heat will raise the temperture of the object by 12 celsius what is the specifc h
Sati [7]

Answer:

C 0.85 j/g*k

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a material is given by:

C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}

where

Q is the amount of heat supplied to the object

m is the mass of the object

\Delta T is the increase in temperature of the object

For the object in this problem, we have

m = 117 g is the mass

Q = 1200 J is the heat supplied

\Delta T=12^{\circ} is the increase in temperature

Substituting into the formula, we find the specific heat:

C_s = \frac{1200 J}{(117 g)(12^{\circ})}=0.85 J/gC

A girl on a bike is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.45 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is 60.0
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the girl is

u = 1.4m/s

Height she is going is

H = 2.45m

Incline plane she will pass to that height

L = 12.4m

Mass of girl and bicycle is

M=60kg

Frictional force that oppose motion is

Fr = 41N

Speed at lower end of inclined plane

V2 = 6.7m/s

Work done by the girl when the car travel downward

Using conservation of energy

K.E(top) + P.E(top) + work = K.E(bottom) + P.E(bottom) + Wfr

Where Wfr is work done by friction

Wfr = Fr × d

P.E(bottom) is zero, sicne the height is zero at the ground

K.E is given as ½mv²

Then,

½M•u² + MgH + W = ½M•V2² + 0 + Fr×d

½ × 60 × 1.4² + 60×9.8 × 2.45 + W = ½ × 60 × 6.7² + 41 × 12.4

58.8 + 1440.5 + W = 1855.1

W = 1885.1 —58.8 —1440.5

W = 355.8 J

Explain the law of inertia in your own words.
natita [175]

A

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.

Suppose a grower sprays (8.2x10^1) kg of water at 0 °C onto a fruit tree of mass 180 kg. How much heat is released by the water
____ [38]

Since there is no temperature change which drives heat flow, thus no heat will be released by the water.

<h3>Heat released by the water when it freezes</h3>

The heat released by the water when it freezes is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔФ

where;

  • m is mass of water
  • c is specific heat capacity of water
  • ΔФ is change in temperature = Фf - Фi

when water freezes, the temperature, Фf = 0 °C

Q = 82 x 4200 x (0 - 0)

Q = 0

Since there is no temperature change which drives heat flow, thus no heat will be released by the water.
