Answer:

The diameter of the hole increases

Explanation:

Metals expand and contract with temperature. Whenever metal is heated, it usually expands in relation to its thermal expansivity. This expansion leads to a slight increase in surface area.

Once the surface area of the metal changes, this means that the dimensions of the whole metal surface changed. As a result, the diameter of the hole drilled in the metal plate will change also. In our case, the diameter of the hole will increase.

Harman [31]

The magnitude and direction of the net force is 9 newtons to the right ⇒ answer A

Explanation:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object

If two forces are horizontal where,

$F_{1}$ > $F_{2}$
They are in opposite direction
Net force F = $F_{1}$ - $F_{2}$ in the direction of $F_{1}$

An object is acted upon by a force of 22 newtons to the right

and a force of 13 newtons to the left

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the net force

→ $F_{1}$ = 22 newtons to the right

→ $F_{2}$ = 13 newtons to the left

$F_{1}$ > $F_{2}$ and they are in opposite direction

Substitute these values in the rule of the net force above

→ Net force F = 22 - 13 = 9

→ The direction of the net force is the same direction of the larger

force, the direction of the larger force is to the right

→ Net force is 9 newtons to the right

The magnitude and direction of the net force is 9 newtons to the right

When an ocean plate converges with another plate, what is created on the seafloor at the line of convergence?

drek231 [11]

When two oceanic plates meet, the process of subduction occurs. During this, the denser plate slips underneath the lighter one, creating a subduction zone. In these subduction zones, a trench is formed.
Trenches are deep crevices on the ocean floor and are home to many different marine species.<span />
