When tectonic plates collide, this is a convergent plate boundary.
When the two plates at a convergent boundary are continental, they form mountains and mountain ranges.

Hope this helps! :)

If a battery causes a wire to carry a current of 4 Amps how many coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

According to above question ~

Current (I) = 4 Amperes

Time (t) = 3 seconds

Charge (q) = ?

Let's find the charge (q) by using formula ~

$I = \dfrac{q}{t}$

$4 = \dfrac{q}{3}$

$q = 4 \times 3$

$q = 12 \: \: coulombs$

Hence, 12 coulombs of charge flow past any point in the wire in 3 seconds

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco

Reika [66]

Answer:

$t=750s$

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

$\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt$

$x_f$ is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

$x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0$

We have $x_f_1=x_f_2$ . Thus, solving for t:

$x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s$

A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of $30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

$R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}$

Which of the following is a surface phenomenon A evaporation B boiling C melting D freezing

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A. evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon as the molecules of the surface gets sufficient energy to overcome the force of attraction which will help in converting to the vapor phase.
