Match the type of boundary with its characteristic.
olga_2 [115]

At Divergent boundary, Crust is created.

At Convergent boundary, Crust is destroyed.

At Transform boundary, Crust is neither created nor destroyed.

<h3>What occurs at Divergent, Convergent and Transform boundary?</h3>

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. At this boundary, new oceanic crust is created.

Convergent boundaries are those boundaries where two plates are pushing into each other. These boundaries are pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt.

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At this boundary, Crust is neither created nor destroyed.

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

A uniform cubical crate is 0.740 m on each side and weighs 600 N. It rests on the floor with one edge against a very small, fixe
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

H = 0.673

Explanation:

given,

side of cubical crate = 0.74

weight of the crate = 600 N

magnitude of force = 330 N

the Horizontal distance of its Center of mass

= 0.74/2

= 0.37

Let the required Height be H

By Balancing the Torques, we get

H x 330 N = 0.37 x 600

330 H = 222

H = 0.673

hence, the height above the floor where force is acting is equal to 0.673 m

How do you find the weight of an object when given the mass and acceleration?
murzikaleks [220]

Weight of an object is given by the formula W = m x g , where

m : mass of the object

g : gravitational acceleration

It is <u>independent of the horizontal </u><u>acceleration</u>.  

<h3>What do we mean by weight of an object?</h3>

Weight is a gauge of how strongly gravity is<u> pulling something down.</u> It is dependent on the object's mass, or how much matter it consists of. It also depends on the <u>object's uniformly distributed</u> downward acceleration caused by gravity.

This equation can be used to express weight:

 W = m x g

<h3>What is the difference between weight and mass of an object?</h3>

In everyday speech, the phrases "mass" and "weight" are frequently used interchangeably; nevertheless, the two concepts don't have the same meaning. In contrast to weight, which is a <u>measurement of</u> how the <u>force</u> of gravity works upon a mass, mass is the <u>amount of substance</u> in a material.

NO LINKS PLEASE. brainly to the best answer.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Both energies are related to motion.
