Marina has been onboard the research vessel Gustavo, off the coast of Chile, for several weeks now. She is measuring the depth o

f a very deep trench in the ocean that runs parallel to the coastline. In the distance, she notes a great mountain range on the mainland. Suddenly, she is notified that a submarine earthquake just occurred below the trench, generating a tsunami. As Marina puts on her lifejacket, she recalls the type of plate boundary nearby that led to the trench formation. Based on the description given, what type of plate boundary is near the area Marina has been studying? rift valley transform divergent convergent

Answer:

convergent

Explanation:

Convergent limits are the type of boundary defined by the movement of the plates in the direction of approach, that is, when two tectonic plates move in a convergent direction, colliding between them frontally. In these cases, the dense plate dips under the lightest one, being incorporated into the warm material and fluid of the mantle.

A tsunami can be generated when the boundaries of converging tectonic plates move. For this reason, we can conclude that the type of board boundary that is close to the area that Marina has been studying is a convergent limite.

A 763 kg car moving at 26 m/s brakes to a stop. The brakes contain about 15 kg of iron that absorb the energy. What is increase
Neko [114]

Answer:

\Delta T=38.20^{\circ}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 763 kg

Speed of the car, v = 26 m/s

Mass of the iron, m' = 15 kg

Specific heat of iron, c = 450 J/kg

When the car is in motion, it will possess kinetic energy. It is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 763\times (26)^2

K = 257894 J

Since, energy is absorbed by the brakes. The kinetic energy of the car is absorbed by the brakes. So,

K=mc\Delta T

\Delta T is the increase in temperature of the brakes

\Delta T=\dfrac{K}{m'c}

\Delta T=\dfrac{257894}{15\times 450}

\Delta T=38.20^{\circ}

So, the increase in temperature of the brakes is 38.20 degrees Celsius. Hence, this is the required solution.

Luden [163]

Answer:

The least efficient light bulb is the first one (25 W - 210 Lumen)

Explanation:

Efficiency can be defined as what you want to obtain over what you need to produce it. In this case Eff= Wattage / Lumen. For each light bulb, their efficiency is: 8.4 / 11.12 / 15.7 Lum/W

A city bus travels 6 blocks east and 8 blocks north. Each block is 100 m long. If the bus travels this distance in 15 minutes, w
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards east = 6

Number of blocks traveled by bus towards north = 8

Length of each block = 100 m

Distance traveled by bus towards east 6 x 100 = 600 m

Distance traveled by bus towards north 8 x 100 = 800 m

The total distance traveled, d = 600 + 800 = 1400

Time taken by the bus to travel is, t = 15 minutes

The velocity is given by the formula

                                  v = d/t  m

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                   v = 1400 m /(15 x 60) s

                                      = 1.55 m/s

Hence, the average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s

A object of mass 3.00 kg is subject to a force Fx that varies with position as in the figure below. A coordinate plane has a hor
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

An impulse results in a change of momentum.

The impulse is the product of a force and a distance. This will be represented by the area under the curve

a) W = ½(4.00)(3.00) = 6.00 J

b) W = (11.0 - 4.00)(3.00) = 21.0 J

c) W = ½(17.0 - 11.0)(3.00) = 9.00 J

d) ASSUMING the speed at x = 0 is in the direction of applied force

½(3.00)(v₄²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00

v₄ = 2.05 m/s

½(3.00)(v₁₇²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00 + 21.0 + 9.00

v₁₇ = 4.92 m/s

If the initial speed is NOT in the direction of applied force, the final speed will be slightly less in both cases.
