I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.

What happens to the convection fluid as it heats up? How might this relate to masses of heated air?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The convection process plays an important role in the liquid. Due to the increasing heat supply or high amount of temperature, the fluid gets heated up, as a result of which it becomes warm, less dense and eventually rises up forming convection cells.

In the interior of the earth, the hot molten rocks get heated up due to the heat supplied by the core of the earth. This makes the magma warm and less dense and rises upward forming convection currents in the mantle.

This convection process is similar to the convection cells that form in the atmosphere, where the hot, less dense air rises up in the atmosphere forming a low-pressure zone. This uprising air forms convection cells, in which the warm air rises and as it rises high in the atmosphere, the temperature becomes low, making the air cold and it eventually sinks.

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing a
blsea [12.9K]

We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is

E=7*10^{9}N/C

From the question we are told that

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm

bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing

uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC

The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm

Generally the equation for the electric field  is mathematically given as

E=\frac{kq_2}{d^2}\\\\E=\frac{(9*10^9)7*10^{-2}}{9*10^{-2}}\\\\

E=7*10^{9}N/C

Using what you know about air pressure and the water cycle, explain how hurricanes form. Why are there certain places on Earth m
Yuki888 [10]
Hurricanes form when hot air and cold air start colliding above water and they start to form a tornado but there is water in the tornado. Certain places on earth are more susceptible to hurricanes because they are closer to the coastlines. For example, in Iowa, and Illinois, they have a lower chance of a hurricane, while Florida, and Washington have a higher rate because they are along the ocean. Hope this helps.
