Answer: Earth’s internal heat

Explanation:

The energy source for plate tectonics is Earth's internal heat while the forces moving the plates are the ridge push and slab pull gravity forces.

A solid non-conducting sphere of radius R carries a charge Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At a radius r (r <
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:  

Hence the answer is E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}.

Explanation:  

E inside = KQr_{1} /R^{3}  

so if r1 will be the same then  

E  \begin{bmatrix}Blank Equation\end{bmatrix} proportional to 1/R3  

so if R become 2R  

E becomes 1/8 of the initial electric field.

If stellar parallax can be measured to a precision of about 0.01 arcsec using telescopes on the Earth to observe stars, to what
marin [14]

Answer:

It corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

Explanation:

The angle due to the change in position of a nearby object against the background stars it is known as parallax.

It is defined in a analytic way as it follows:

       

\tan{p} = \frac{1AU}{d}

Where d is the distance to the star.

p('') = \frac{1}{d} (1)  

Equation (1) can be rewritten in terms of d:

d(pc) = \frac{1}{p('')} (2)

Equation (2) represents the distance in a unit known as parsec (pc).

The parallax angle can be used to find out the distance by means of triangulation. Making a triangle between the nearby star, the Sun and the Earth (as is shown in the image below), knowing that the distance between the Earth and the Sun (150000000 Km), is defined as 1 astronomical unit (1AU).

For the case of   (p('') = 0.01):

d(pc) = \frac{1}{0.01}

d(pc) = 100

Hence, it corresponds to a distance of 100 parsecs away from Earth.

<em>Summary:</em>

Notice how a small parallax angle means that the object is farther away.

Key terms:

Parsec: Parallax of arc second

a 700k/g race car slowed down from 30m/s to 15m/s what is the impulse and what was the average force applied by the brakes
posledela
So impulse is a change in momentum.

Mass*(final velocity - initial velocity)

I dont think you will be able to find the average force with the given info because you need to know the time it takes for the car to slow down.
