Answer:
Mass can never be negative. Everything has mass. Just like how they ask you to find area under the graph in maths. If the area is in the 3rd and 4th quadrant, when calculated, you would get negative answer.However, area can not be negative because it is a place/ location. It's exactly the same as mass.
Answer:
The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.
Explanation:
This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery
Edit: You do mean Ridge?
Rocks near Mid-Ocean Ridge are younger than rocks near the trenches.
Seismic data shows oceanic crust is sinking into the mantle at the trenches.
Matching bands of magnetic rock are found on either side of the Ridge. Earth's magnetic fields change these bands over time.
Im not to good at geography but I think you are correct :)
