Answer:

B. Temperatures remain high as lowered pressures decrease melting temperatures.

Explanation:

Rocks , like ice , contracts on melting so , their melting point decreases on decrease in pressure . When hot solid rocks are pushed towards the surface of the earth, due to decrease in pressure , their melting point decreases , so the solid rocks starts melting without any addition of  heat . Their  present temperature becomes more than their melting point.

In the graph above, how does the acceleration at A compare with the acceleration at B?
abruzzese [7]
This is a speed/time graph.
The slope of the graph at each point is the time rate of change of speed
at that point, and THAT's the definition of the magnitude of acceleration.

The slope of the curve is zero at both ' A ' and ' B ', so acceleration is
zero at both of those points.

That seems to be exactly what choice-c says.

An automobile with a mass of 1232 kg accelerates at a rate of 2 m/s² in the forward direction. What is the net force acting on t
boyakko [2]
Based on Newton's second law:
Force = mass x acceleration

For this problem: we have the mass = 1232 kg and the acceleration = 2 m/s^2
So, just substitute with the givens in the above equation to calculate the force as follows:
Force = 1232 x 2 = 2464 Newtons

Why matter is sometimes invisible?
Keith_Richards [23]

Hi there,

Matter is sometimes invisible. Most invisible matters are gas because it consists of tiny air molecules.

Hope this helps!
