<h3>Answer;</h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

According to the plate tectonics theory, the plates making the earth float on the partially molten mantle, moving away from the mid ocean ridges at varying speeds. At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes.
Earthquakes take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. Volcanoes on the other hand take place when plates crash into or pull away from each other and hot magma from below rises up to the surface in an eruption.

I think the answer is plate tectonics theory because when the are moving, they sometimes hit each other and it makes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

But i'm not sure

Answer:

The diameter of the piston of the players equals 55.136 cm.

Explanation:

from the principle of transmission of pressure in a hydraulic lift we have

$\frac{F_{1}}{A_{1}}=\frac{F_{2}}{A_{1}}$

Since the force in the question is the weight of the individuals thus upon putting the values in the above equation we get

$\frac{57.0\times 9.81}{\frac{\pi \times (19.0)^{2}}{4}}=\frac{4\times 120\times 9.81}{\frac{\pi \times D_{2}^{2}}{4}}$

Solving for $D_{2}$ we get

$D_{2}^{2}=\frac{4\times 120}{57}\times 19^{2}\\\\\therefore D_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 120}{57}}\times 19\\\\D_{2}=55.136cm$

A machine exerts a 100 N force to the right over a 5.00 meter length in 4.00 seconds. Calculate the power output of this machine

bixtya [17]

125 W is the power output of this machine.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is defined as the amount of work done on the system to move that system from its original state within the given time interval. So it can be determined by the ratio of work done with time interval. As work done is the measure of force required to move a system to a certain distance. Work done is calculated as product of force with displacement.

So in the present case, the force is given as 100 N, the displacement is given as 5 m and the time is given as 4 s, then power is

$Power = \frac{Work done}{Time}$
