<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Plate tectonics theory

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></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. <em><u>At a point where the plates pull apart, slide or collide, a tectonic activity will be manifested as earthquakes. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Earthquakes </u></em><em><u>take place when the plate boundaries get stuck together while the plates keep moving. </u></em><em><u>Volcanoes </u></em><em><u>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.</u></em>

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

Write equations for both the electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum th
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

<h3>Relationship between electric and magnetic field</h3>

The relationship between electric and magnetic field at a given peak electric field is given as;

c = (E₀) / (B₀)

where;

  • c is speed of light
  • E₀ is the peak electric field
  • B₀ is the peak magnetic field

B₀ = E₀ / c

B₀ = (2.9) / (3 x 10⁹)

B₀ = 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T

Thus, the peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

A force of 5.00 N to the left causes a 1.35 kg book to have a net acceleration of 0.76 m/s2 to the left. What is the frictional
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4.0 N

Explanation:

Sum the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F − Fr = ma

Fr = F − ma

Fr = 5.00 N − (1.35 kg) (0.76 m/s²)

Fr = 4.0 N

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

m = mass of the meter stick

w = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

v = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}

h = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m

I = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}

g The magnetic force on a charged particle A. depends on the sign of the charge on the particle. B. depends on the velocity of t
Leona [35]

Answer:

E) is described by all of these

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a charged particle is expressed as:

F = qv * B = qvBsinθ

Where,

q = charge on particle

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the particle velocity.

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnitude of field vector

From here, we could denote that magnetic force, F depends on charge on particle, velocity of particle, magnitude of field vector.

The magnetic force on a charged particle is at right angles to both the velocity of the particle. The magnetic force and magnetic field in a charged particle are perpendicular to each other, the right hand rule is used to determine the direction of force.

The correct option is E.
