Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates) creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

$F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

$N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})$

$N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}$

$N = 1.374lb$

PART B) Acceleration

$F_t = ma_t$

$-mgsin\theta = ma_t$

$-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t$

$-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t$

$a_T = -16.10ft/s^2$

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.

How will the amount of power change if less work is done in more time?

yKpoI14uk [10]

The amount of power change if less work is done in more time"then the amount of power will decrease".

Option: B

Explanation:

The rate of performing any work or activity by transferring amount of energy per unit time is understood as power. The unit of power is watt

$Power = \frac{Work}{Time}$

Here this equation showcase that power is directly proportional to the work but dependent upon time as time is inversely proportional to the power i.e as time increases power decreases and vice versa.

This can be understood from an instance, on moving a load up a flight of stairs, the similar amount of work is done, no matter how heavy but when the work is done in a shorter period of time more power is required.

How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?

dezoksy [38]

The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.
