Astar is 10 light years away from the earth. Suppose it brightens up suddenly today, after how long can we see this change?

The phrase "light year" is a <u><em>distance</em></u> ... it's the distance that light travels through vacuum in one year.

When you look at an object located 1 light year away from you, you see it as it was 1 year ago.

If a star located 10 light years away from us suddenly brightens, or dims, or explodes, we see the event <em>10 years later.</em>

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

Explanation:

When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its  potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and  current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .

The number of outer shell electrons determines the chemical properties of an element?
Ivan
Yes, it is true to a certain that the number of outer shell electrons determines the chemical properties of an element, only because this determines how the element interacts with other elements.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

71.19 C

Explanation:

25C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Applying the ideal gas equation we have

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where P, V and T are the pressure, volume and temperature of the gas at 1st and 2nd stage, respectively. We can solve for the temperature and the 2nd stage:

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1} = 298\frac{0.77*1.8}{1.2*1} = 298*1.155 = 344.19 K = 344.19 - 273 = 71.19 C

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.
