Answer:

The Ring of Fire

Explanation:

The ring of fire is also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it is a path along the pacific ocean consisting of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

It has a length of approximately 40,000 kilometers. It lies on the edge of tectonic plates where the in-earth vibrations and geothermal energies are prone to erupt out.

Ring of fire inhibits about 75% o the earth's volcanoes and 95% of earthquakes occur in this region.

What are stars made of?<br> How do they expand?<br> How do they explode?

lutik1710 [3]

Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements, star is in a delicate and fragile balance between gravity, which would collapse the star to a point, and its internal pressure caused by the energy of the nuclear fusion reaction in the core. When a star's fuel has been spent, it explodes into a giant fireball known as a supernova.. I really hope this helps!!!!

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination $\theta =11.1^{\circ}$

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.39$

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Final velocity v=0

$0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s$

$s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}$

s=0.68 m

Verizon [17]

I disagree with that opinion, and I have solid Physics to back me up.

The forces of gravity are always equal in both directions. The sun pulls the Earth with exactly the same force with which the Earth pulls the sun.

It may seem weird, but your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you. For the same reason.
