At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.Oceanic<span> crust tends to be denser and thinner than </span>continental<span> crust, so the denser</span>oceanic<span> crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker </span>continental<span> crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.</span>

How many σ bonds and π bonds does the co2 molecule have?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

2 \sigma bonds and 2 \pi bonds

Explanation:

If we consider the the bonding in the CO_{2} molecule:

O = 1s^{2}\ 2s^{2}\ 2p^{4}

C = 1s^{2}\ 2s^{2}\ 2p^{2}

Thus carbon forms double bonds with oxygen:

O = C = O

Now,

We know that double bond comprises of a \sigma\ bond and a \pi \ bond

Since, in the CO_{2}, there are 2 double bonds thus there are 2 \sigma bonds and 2 \pi bonds in the molecules.

Simpson drives his car with an average velocity of 48.0 km/h to the east. How long will it take him to drive 144 km on a straigh
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The time save by Simpson is 25.8 minutes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of the car, v = 48 km/h

Distance covered by the car, d = 144 km

Let t is the time taken by the car. Speed of an object is given by distance covered per unit time. It is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{144\ km}{48\ km/h}

t = 3 hours

If the velocity is increased to 56 km/h to the east. Time taken is given by :

t'=\dfrac{144\ km}{56\ km/h}

t' = 2.57 seconds

The time save by Simpson increasing his average velocity is given by :

\Delta t=t-t'

\Delta t=3-2.57

\Delta t=0.43\ hours

or

\Delta t=25.8\ min

So, the time save by Simpson is 25.8 minutes. Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is dropped out of a window and hits the ground at 14.5 m/s. How long did it take to fall to the ground?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation:

v_f=v_0+at which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:

-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and

-14.5 = -9.8t so

t = 1.5 seconds
