Answer: Variations in temperatures inside Earth forces the plates to move.

Explanation: I'm not 100% sure if this is correct but from what I've read in my book it should be the answer.

Answer:

Uniform temperature inside earth forces the plates move.

Explanation:

The movements carried out by the tectonic plates occur due to the high temperatures existing inside the Earth.

The Earth's crust is located on the mantle, a layer of Earth composed of magma. The intense heat causes the circular movement of the mantle in convection currents. This convective movement transfers heat from the core (the Earth's innermost layer) to the outermost layers, causing the plates to move, leading to the junction or separation of the continents.

A conducting sphere with radius R is charged until the magnitude of the electric field just outside its surface is E. The electr
dusya [7]

Answer:

he correct answer is V = ER

Explanation:

In this exercise they give us the electric field on the surface of the sphere and ask us about the electric potential, the two quantities are related

                ΔV = ∫ E.ds

where E is the elective field and normal displacement vector.

Since E is radial in a spray the displacement vector is also radial, the dot product e reduces to the algebraic product.

                 ΔV = ∫ E ds

                 ΔV = E s

                 

since s is in the direction of the radii its value on the surface of the spheres s = R

                  ΔV = E R

checking the correct answer is V = ER

AN airplane travels 4000 m in 20s on a heading 0f 35 degrees north west. Calculate average velocity .
alexandr402 [8]
Isn't velocity Distance over time? if the degree isn't adding resistance it should be 4000 ÷ 20 which gives you 200mps ("per second") which is the velocity without resistance.

A neutral atom of tin (Z = 50) has 69 neutrons. (a) How many protons does it have? (b) What is its mass number?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Protons = 50

Mass number = 119

Explanation:

A neutral of tin, Sn, has a Z value of 50 and neutrons are 69.

Z is the atomic number. The atomic number is equal to number of protons or number of electrons in an atom that is neutral i.e:

Z = PROTONS = ELECTRONS

So the number of protons = 50 since Z is 50

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>¦

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus. To calculate mass number, we simply sum all the elementary particles in the nucleus i.e protons and neutrons. These particles are called the nucleons.

Mass number (A) = P + N

= 50 + 69

= 119
