Answer:

Distance covered by Tara is 9 km.

Displacement of Tara is 6.71 km.

Explanation:

Distance is the total path length covered by a body. Here, the total path length is the sum of all the distances covered in each directions.

So, total distance is given as:

Distance, D=5+3+1=9\ km

Now, displacement only depends on the initial and final position of the body. Let the initial position of Tara be represented by the origin O(0,0) and the final position be represented by 'C' as shown in figure. Let the north direction be positive y axis and east direction be positive x axis.

Then from the figure, the final position 'C' will be at (3,6).

Therefore, using distance formula between two points, we find the displacement as 'OC' which is given as:

OC=\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(3-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+3^2}=\sqrt{36+9}=\sqrt{45}=6.71\ km

Therefore, the displacement of Tara is 6.71 km.

When two oceanic plates converge, the plate with a greater density will subduct. This plate will partially melt, causing the for
N76 [4]

Answer:

Island arc

Explanation:

When two oceanic plates share a convergent type of plate boundary, the denser oceanic plate will subduct below the less dense oceanic plate. This will result in the formation of the subduction zone, where the rocks are being pulled down to the mantle. This subduction zone is typically marked by the presence of a narrow depression commonly known as an oceanic trench, that lies just above the zone.

The rocks of the subducting plate undergo partial melting and mix up with the magma that rises upwards towards the surface due to the force exerted by the convection currents. This later gives rise to the formation of volcanoes or a chain of volcanoes which are commonly known as an island arc.

madreJ [45]

Answer: motion parallax

Explanation:

Motion parallax refers to a form of depth perception whereby objects that are closer to an individual appears to move at a faster speed than the objects that are far.

Therefore, Kate is riding on a train and notices that the wildflowers by the side of the tracks seem to be moving by much faster than the mountains in the distance is an example of motion parallax.

The light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of what?
Sedaia [141]
Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.
