<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.

Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b
Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

now we have

I_1 = mr^2

I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)

I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

I_2 = mr^2

I_2 = 1r^2

now from above equation we have

(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)

r = 0.04 m

so final distance is 0.04 m between them
