4 0

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

an example of this is lightning because the positive electrons on/in the earth are attracted to the negative electrons in the clouds and sky so the positive move to the negative charge.

A ball of mass m is dropped from rest from a height h and collides elastically with the floor, rebounding to its original height
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass m collides elastically with floor and jump to its original height I .e.velocity of rebound is same as the initial velocity

Impulse imparted by steel ball to the ground is given by the change in momentum of steel ball

J=\Delta P

and impulse is product of average force and time

so we need time to calculate the average force. So, option e is correct
