<h2>Answer: Nazca plate</h2>

Explanation:

The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that is found in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America, specifically in front of the north and central coast of Chile and the entire coastline of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This plate is in constant motion, which causes it to sink under the South American (phenomenon known as subduction).

It is mainly because of this subduction process that this region has a lot of seismic activity. Another important aspect is that thanks to these movements, the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian-Chilean fossa originated.

A quick USB charger claims its output current is 1.97Amp. We know that the standard USB output voltage is 5V. What is the output

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Output power of the charger is 9.85 watts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Output current of the USB charger, I = 1.97 A

The standard USB output voltage, V = 5 V

We need to find the output power of the charger. It can be determined using the following formula as :

P = V × I

$P=5\ V\times 1.97\ A$

P = 9.85 watts

The output power of the charger is 9.85 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Adding powdered Gatorade to water makes a tasty solution. What is the solvent in this example? A) water B) salt and sugar C) Gat

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: The correct answer is A.

Explanation: In a solution, the substance which is in larger proportion is called as a solvent and the substance which is in smaller proportion is called as a solute.

When we mix a powdered Gatorade in the water, the Gatorade is present smaller proportion and hence will be considered as a solute in a solution and water is present in larger proportion and will be considered as solvent in a solution.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Bosons & Fermions A new type of quantum object has been discovered. When a large collection of these are cooled to almost ab

Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$ , $2$\hbar$ , $3$\hbar$$ , etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin $2$\hbar$

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric

A light, rigid rod is 55.8 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at res

VMariaS [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have
