Which type of stress causes deformation that leads to earthquakes at converging plate boundaries?

Physics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
4 0
The answer is <em>Compressional Stress
</em>

In geology, stress<span> is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. ... This is called confining </span>stress<span>. Compression squeezes rocks together, </span>causing<span> rocks to fold or fracture (break). Compression is the most common </span>stress<span> at </span>convergent plate boundaries<span>.

I hope this helped!! Have a great day :D</span>

If the intensity of light that is incident on a piece of metal is increased, what else will be increased? Choose all that apply.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

When the intensity of light is increased on a piece of metal only the number of electron ejected will increase because all other things independent of intensity of light.

Light below certain frequency will not cause any electron emission no matter how intense.

The intensity produces more electron but does not change the maximum kinetic energy of electrons.

Work function is independent of the intensity of light, because it is an intrinsic property of a material.

Assume: Moving to the right is positive. A(n) 7.7 g object moving to the right at 22 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision wit
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula for velocity in case of elastic collision which is given below

v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁ /  (m₁ +  m₂)  + 2m₂u₂ / (m₁ +  m₂)

m₁ and u₁ is mass and velocity of first object , m₂ and  u₂ is mass and velocity of second object before collision and v₁ is velocity of first velocity after collision.

Here u₁ = 22 cm /s , u₂ = - 14 cm /s . m₁ = 7.7 gm , m₂ = 18 gm

v₁ = ( 7.7 - 18 ) x 22 / ( 7.7 + 18 )  + 2 x 18 x - 14 / ( 7.7 + 18 )

= - 8.817 - 19.6

= - 28.4 cm / s

What do electric forces between charges depend on
denis23 [38]

Answer:

On the magnitude of the charges, on their separation and on the sign of the charges

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force depends on the following factors:

- magnitude of the two charges

- separation between the charges

Moreover, the direction of the force depends on the sign of the two charges. In fact:

- if the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive

- if the two charges have opposite signs, the force is attractive

Which of the following statements is always true?
Gwar [14]

Answer: B

Explanation:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. An unbalanced force is an unopposed force that causes a change in motion.
