Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A

Physics
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]3 years ago
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 ".

Which of the following is a likely life cycle of a star?
melomori [17]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

But this just happen for big stars, like more than 20x the Sun mass.

Shortly: A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust, the material starts to be acummuleted and became a protostar (is like a big planet, almost  a star). With enought mass this is a star, burn hydrogen and transform it in Helium.

This occurs in Main Sequence, is about almost all the life time of a star. Then starts the lack of hydrogen. Gravity compress everything, pressure goes up and heat all. Too much energy, Helium get burned and the star grews fast, became a Red Giant. Time pass and the fuel is over, no more making fusion, gravity compress the star, too much strenght, colapses, neutron star.

If it have pretty mass, ok. If have more than like 2x Sun mass, became a blackhole.

How does nuclear fusion produce energy
prisoha [69]
The fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium. When deuterium and tritium nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy.

A 70 kg hunter, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 42 g bullet horizontally at a speed of 590 m/s . Part A Part complete Wha
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hunter = 70 kg

Mass of bullet = 42 g = 0.042 kg

Speed of bullet = 590 m/s

We need to calculate the recoil speed of hunter

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

Where,m_{1} = mass of hunter

m_{2} = mass of bullet

u = initial velocity

v = recoil velocity

Put the value in the equation

0+0=70\times v_{1}+0.042\times590

v_{1}=-\dfrac{0.042\times590}{70}

v=-0.354\ m/s

Hence, The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.
