6 0

Answer:

a) Gravity pulling the older and denser lithosphere downward.

Explanation:

Earth's crust is made of plates which float on mantle . Plates are of two types

1 ) oceanic plates which are older and heavier 2 ) continental plates which are lighter . Continents are situated on continental plates. Due to relative motion , oceanic plate, because of its  heavy weight,  goes under lighter continental plate . This is called subduction.

Which is the correct answer?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

The work done by stretching or compressing a spring is given by E=1/2kx²

The potential energy is numerically equal to the work done.

This means that the higher the bigger the value of the extension, x, the higher the energy contained.

In this scenario the modulus of x is considered.

Among the given values of x the modulus of -5 is the largest.

thus it gives the highest value of energy.

You are standing a distance of 17.0 meters from the center of a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round takes 9.50 seconds to go comp
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

(a)11.24 m/s

(b)7.44 m/s

(c)409 N

(d)539.55\mu

(e) 0

Explanation:

The period for 1 circle 2\pi of the merry go around is 9.5s. It means the angular speed is:

\omega = \theta / t = 2\pi / 9.5 \approx 0.661 rad/s

(a)The speed is

v = \omega * R = 0.661 * 17 = 11.24 m/s

(b) Centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^2}{R} = \frac{11.24^2}{17} = 7.44 m/s^2

(c) Magnitude of the force that keeps you go around at this acceleration

F = ma = 55 * 7.44 = 409 N

(d) let the coefficient of friction by \mu. The frictional force shall be this coefficient multiplied by normal force reverting gravity of the man

F_f = mg\mu = 55*9.81\mu = 539.55\mu

Why does the current is reduced as electrons move through a conductor
hammer [34]
Because the electrons collide with the particles inside the conductor so are therefore slowed down seen as current is the rate of flow of electrons
