How would you use Tectonic plate and hot spot in the same sentence

It's kinda long but...
A tectonic setting where volcanic action occurs is called a hot-spot (intraplate), which describes volcanic activity that occurs within tectonic plates and is generally NOT related to plate boundaries and plate movements.
Hope this helps!!:)

Volcanic hot spot is where volcanoes are fed by underlying mantle that is anomalously hot and such volcanoes are different in origin from other volcanoes formed over subduction zones where tectoic plates run into each other.

Two satellites A and B orbit the Earth in the same plane. Their masses are 5 m and 7 m, respectively, and their radii 4 r and 7

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of A = 5 m

Mass of B = 7 m

Radius of A = 4 r

Radius of B = 7 r

The orbital speed of satellite A,

$v_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}$ ......(I)

The orbital speed of satellite B,

$v_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}$ ......(I)

We need to calculate the ratio of their orbital speeds

Using equation (I) and (II)

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{GM_{A}}{R_{A}}}{\dfrac{GM_{B}}{R_{B}}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{G\times5m\times7r}{G\times7m\times4r}}$

$\dfrac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Hence, The ratio of their orbital speeds are 5:4.

if you jump from a window that is 2 meters up you will most likely break the bones in your legs when you land however on a tramp

Gemiola [76]

The de-acceleration or negative acceleration of stopping is what damages bones. The ground is rigid and therefore the change in momentum when striking the ground will be large. On the trampoline, the elasticity of the material means that the momentum changes more slowly, resulting in smaller accelerations.

Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a _____ orbital path.

murzikaleks [220]

The correct answer is circular. Copernicus and other astronomers before him thought that celestial bodies followed a circular orbital path. Copernicus was a Polish astronomer that concluded that the sun is at rest near the center of the universe and the earth is revolving around it annually. This theory is called heliocentric.
