What is the best description of a convergent boundary? (Do they move towards eachother, side by side past each other, away from

each other, or are they attracted to each other by gravity)

Convergent boundaries move towards each other. They can be classified as continental-continental, or oceanic-continental.

Oceanic-Continental: Heavier oceanic plate slides under a continental plate in a process called subduction.

Continental-Continental: Tectonic plates push up against each other and often fold upwards, creating mountain ranges.

Calculate the average force with which the Sun pulls the Earth. It will help to know
algol13

Answer:

7.9 x 10^21 pound-force

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and sun is 150 trillion meters, or 1.5 x 10^11 meters. The mass of the sun is 1.99 x 10^30 kilograms, while the Earth weighs in at 6.0 x 10^24 kilograms. The gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 meter^3 / (kilogram - second^2). So the Earth and sun pull on each other with a force equal to 3.52 x 10^22 newtons. The newton is a unit of force equal to a kilogram-meter/second^2. One newton is equal to 0.22 of the rarely used English unit called pound-force, so 3.52 x 10^22 newtons is 7.9 x 10^21 pound-force.

A cosmic ray proton moving toward the Earth at 5.00 10 m/s 7 × experiences a magnetic force of 1.70 10 N −16 × . What is the str
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be equal to B=3\times 10^{-5}T

Explanation:

We have given velocity of proton 5\times 10^7m/sec

Magnetic force experienced by proton F=1.7\times 10^{-16}N

Charge on proton q=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Angle between field and velocity \Theta =45^{\circ}

Force in magnetic field is equal to F=qBVsin\Theta

So 1.7\times 10^{-16}=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^7\times B\times sin45^{\circ}

B=3\times 10^{-5}T

So magnetic field will be equal to B=3\times 10^{-5}T
