The currents responsible for powering the movement of tectonic plates is convection currents which occur in the mantle. As the hotter, less dense liquid rises it displaces the cooler more dense liquid which moves the tectonic plates out of allignment

When asked to name all the forces on a marker sitting in equilibrium on a desk, a student responds: “Since the marker on the des

guapka [62]

Answer:

The forces acting on the pen which is still on the table can have two forces acting on them. The forces are gravitational force and the equal and opposite force to the gravitational forces.

The equal and opposite forces that is applied on the pen keeps the pen still on the table.

So, the statement that no force is applied on the pen which is kept still on the table is wrong as two forces are applied on the pen.

As both the forces are equal and opposite so it is cancelled and is still.

2. A 1.54 kΩ resistor is connected to an AC voltage source with an rms voltage of 240 V.

svp [43]

(a) The maximum potential difference across the resistor is 339.41 V.

(b) The maximum current through the resistor is 0.23 A.

(d) The average power dissipated by the resistor is 38.4 W.

<h3>Maximum potential difference</h3>

Vrms = 0.7071V₀

where;

V₀ is peak voltage

V₀ = Vrms/0.7071

V₀ = 240/0.7071

V₀ = 339.41 V

<h3> rms current through the resistor </h3>

I(rms) = V(rms)/R

I(rms) = (240)/(1,540)

I(rms) = 0.16 A

<h3>maximum current through the resistor </h3>

I₀ = I(rms)/0.7071

I₀ = (0.16)/0.7071

I₀ = 0.23 A

<h3> Average power dissipated by the resistor</h3>

P = I(rms) x V(rms)

P = 0.16 x 240

P = 38.4 W
