<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Accretionary wedge

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

An accumulation of different sedimentary and metamorphic rocks combined with scraps of ocean crust is called<em><u> accretionary wedge.</u></em>
<em><u>Accretionary wedge results from the sediments that are accreted onto the subducting tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary.</u></em>
At the abduction zone,<em><u> the lower plate scrapes along the bottom of the overriding plate as it enters the earth, an action which erodes material that consists of rock and sediment that then accumulate onto the overriding plate in an accretionary wedge.</u></em>

<span>Accretionary wedge. The accretionary wedge is formed from several sediments: marine sediments, but also erosional materials from volcanoes. ocean floor basalts, volcanic island masses, pelagic sediments, trench sediments and other materials transported by gravity. All these sediments are in the non-subducting tectonic plate of the Earth.</span>

An 8.0-ohm resistor and a 6.0-ohm resistor are connected in series with a battery. The potential difference across the 6.0-ohm r

ipn [44]

Answer:

a) 14 Ω

b) 2.0 A

c) 28 V

Explanation:

a) The total resistance of resistors in series is the sum:

R = R₁ + R₂

R = 8.0 Ω + 6.0 Ω

R = 14 Ω

b) The current in the 6.0 Ω resistor can be found with Ohm's law:

V = IR

12 V = I (6.0 Ω)

I = 2.0 A

c) Since the resistors are in series, they have the same current. So the total voltage is:

V = IR

V = (2.0 A) (14 Ω)

V = 28 V

An object of mass 6 kg. is resting on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a) The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

Explanation:

a) Since the object has a constant mass, on which a constant horizontal force is exerted. The work done by the force ( $W$ ), measured in joules, is defined by the following expression:

$W = F\cdot \Delta x$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta x$ - Distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ and $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , then the work done by the force exerted on the object is:

$W = (15\,N)\cdot (100\,m)$

$W = 1500\,J$

The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) At first we need to calculate the net acceleration of the object ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second. By assuming a constant acceleration, we use the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta x = v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where $v_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the object, measured in meters per second.

We clear the acceleration within the equation above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} = \Delta x-v_{o}\cdot t$

$a = \frac{2\cdot (\Delta x - v_{o}\cdot t)}{t^{2}}$

If we know that $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $t = 10\,s$ , then the net acceleration experimented by the object is:

$a = \frac{2\cdot \left[100\,m-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)\right]}{(10\,s)^{2}}$

$a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

By the 2nd Newton's Law, we construct the following equation of equilibrium under the consideration of a friction force acting against the motion of the object:

$\Sigma F = F - f = m\cdot a$ (3)

Where:

$F$ - External force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ , $m = 6\,kg$ and $a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the kinetic friction force is:

$f = F-m\cdot a$

$f = 15\,N-(6\,kg)\cdot \left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$f = 3\,N$

The work done by friction ( $W'$ ), measured in joules, is:

$W' = f\cdot \Delta x$ (4)

$W' = (3\,N) \cdot (100\,m)$

$W' = 300\,J$

And the net work experimented by the object is:

$\Delta W = 1500\,J - 300\,J$

$\Delta W = 1200\,J$

By the Work-Energy Theorem we understand that change in translational kinetic energy ( $\Delta K$ ), measured in joules, is equal to the change in net work. That is:

$\Delta K = \Delta W$ (5)

If we know that $\Delta W = 1200\,J$ , then the change in translational kinetic energy is:

$\Delta K = 1200\,J$

The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) The energy lost by the object is equal to the work done by the force of friction. Therefore, 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST

mr Goodwill [35]

Explanation:

700N right

to get the net force

you gotta let one direction be the negative ( the smaller force)

so the total force towards the left is 100N ( 60 + 40= 100)

which is smaller than the right force which is 800 N so you let 100 N be negative

so without even calculating , you can know that it will be moving towards the right because right force > left force

your add both forces ( remember 100 N is negative)

so 800N + ( - 100N)

= 700N

towards the right

hope this helps

this is just one method that helped me understand

please mark it brainliest

Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.
