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

Explain why does the bowling ball decelerate as it travels along the lane

frutty [35]

The main cause of this is Friction. The more oil that is laid down, the less friction there is between the ball and the lane surface. The less friction, the harder it is for the bowler to send the ball in a curved path imparted by the spin that the bowler puts on the ball at the instant of release.

Whats the answer???????????

Leviafan [203]

Answer: Less than 4 ohms

Explanation:

We have three resistors with the following resistance:

$R_{1}=4\Omega$

$R_{2}=6\Omega$

$R_{3}=8\Omega$

Now, when the resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance $R$ is calculated as follows:

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\frac{1}{R_{3}}$

Isolating $R$ :

$R=\frac{R_{1}R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{3}(R_{1}+R_{2})+R_{1}R_{2}}$

Rewriting with th known values:

$R=\frac{(4\Omega)(6\Omega)(8\Omega)}{8\Omega(4\Omega+6\Omega)+(4\Omega)(6\Omega)}$

Finally:

$R=1.84 \Omega$

Hence, the correct option is less than 4 ohms.

a car traveling north at 17.7 m/s. after 12 seconds its velocity is 14.1 m/s in the same direction. find the magnitude and direc

elixir [45]

Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time. In this case, velocity has changed from 17.7 m/s to 14.1 m/s, which is a decrease of 3.6 m/s. This takes place in 12 seconds, so the average acceleration is 3.6 m/s / 12s = 0.3 m/s^2. The direction of this acceleration is south, since the car's northbound speed is decreasing.
