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 pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 3. 5 m deep. How does the pressure compare with atmospheric pressure, 10
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  1.343 atm

Explanation:

The mass of water above 1 square meter of swimming pool bottom is ...

  M = (3.5 m)·(1000 kg/m^3) = 3500 kg/m^2

Then the force exerted by the water on the pool bottom is ...

  F = Mg = (3500 kg/m^2)(9.8 m/s^2) = 34300 N/m^2 = 34300 Pa

Compared with atmospheric pressure, this is ...

  34,300/10^5 = 0.343 . . . . atmospheres

Added to the atmospheric pressure on the water's surface, the total pressure on the pool bottom is 1.343 atmospheres.

A 3-kg ball is thrown with a speed of 8 m/s at an unknown angle above the horizontal. The ball attains a maximum height of 2.8 m
Alina [70]

Answer:

13.5 J

Explanation:

mass of ball, m = 3 kg

maximum height, h = 2.8 m

initial speed, u = 8 m/ s

Angle of projection, θ

use the formula of maximum height

H = \frac{u^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}

2.8 = \frac{8^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2\times 9.8}

Sin θ = 0.926

θ = 67.8°

The velocity at maximum height is u Cosθ = 8 Cos 67.8 = 3 m/s

So, kinetic energy at maximum height

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

K = 0.5 x 3 x 3 x 3

K = 13.5 J

Brandy has built a computer model of a weather system. She has included information about bodies of water, the Sun, and the atmo
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B (D)

Explanation:

If all factors other than elevation are the same for both cities, then City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B. This is because there are fewer air molecules at higher elevations. Fewer air molecules mean less heat is absorbed by the atmosphere, and temperatures are lower. This is why areas high in the mountains are often much cooler than areas down on the plains.
