<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is</u><u> (B)mantle convection</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Tectonic plates at the earth's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. this heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell and producing a movement called mantle convection which is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate.

The largest stars are _____ times the mass of the Sun. 10 100 1,000 10,000
Arte-miy333 [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

100 times

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The largest stars are 100 times the mass of the Sun.
  • <u>The giant stars are about 10 to 100 times the radius of the sun</u>, which means they are 100 times brighter than the sun.
  • <em><u>The largest known star in terms of mass and brightness is known as the Pistol Star. It is believed to be 100 times as massive as our Sun, and 10,000,000 times as bright.</u></em>

What is the mass of a ball that has 29j of potential energy and is lifted 2.0m?​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1.48kg

Explanation:

Here,

potential energy (P.E) = 29j

height (h) = 2m

acceleration due to gravity(g) =

9.8m {s}^{ - 2}

mass(m) = ?

we know,

P.E = mgh

or, 29 = m×9.8×2

or, 29/19.6 = m

or,m = 1.48kg

The two particles are both moving to the right. Particle 1 catches up with particle 2 and collides with it. The particles stick
Travka [436]

Answer:

c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.

In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.  

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.

Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions.  If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>

Therefore,

a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2

c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.

d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1
