Answer:
A.
Explanation:
Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.
According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.
So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust
. <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>
Hence, the correct answer is "A
".
Answer:
The two metals expand differently.
Explanation:
The bimetallic strip has two metal strips positioned like a bridge, these strips connect the electrical circuit to the heating system. When these strips are linear or "down" they allow the electricity to move through the circuit to the heating system to turn the heat on. When the strips are "up" the disconnect the electricity flow, thus turning the heating system off, thus the room becomes cool/cold.
Answer:
70.5 mph
Explanation:
A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.
The return flight takes 17 h.
The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that
blow primarily from west to east.
If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed
of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.
Is your answer reasonable?
:
Let w = speed of the wind
:
Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways
17(550+w) = 22(550-w)
9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w
17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350
39w = 2750
W = 2750/39
w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable
:
Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value
17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi
22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph
Most as long the hypothesis is a good answer and can be answered
