Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Sun is star present in Our Solar System around which Earth revolves. Earth is the third planet in Our Solar system and is the only planet on which life exists.

The existence of life on Earth is because of the Sun. It plays a very important role. Sun helps the earth to keep moving in a fixed orbit because of the gravitational attraction towards the Sun. It also supports the processes of water cycle on Earth by evaporating the water.

The climate and temperature conditions on Earth is due to the Sun only.

Plate tectonics is the theory which states that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates which glide over the mantle. There is no role of Sun to play in the process of plate tectonics.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

I think that the answer is B that the sun (DOES NOT) support the processes of plate tectonics

The resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is:a) 180 d

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

0 degrees

Explanation:

Let $F_1\ and\ F_2$ are two forces. The resultant of two forces acting on the same point is given by :

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos\theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between two forces

When $\theta=0$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2\ cos(0)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2}$

When $\theta=90^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(90)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}$

When $\theta=180^{\circ}$ i.e. when two forces are parallel to each other,

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+F_1F_2\ cos(180)}$

$F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2-2F_1F_2}$

It is clear that the resultant of two forces acting on the same point simultaneously will be the greatest when the angle between them is 0 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

Guys help me with this question.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Brownian motion is a random (irregular) motion of particles e.g smoke particle. The set up in the diagram can be used to observe the motion of smoke.

1. The apparatus used are:

A is a source of light

B is a converging lens

C is a glass smoke cell

D is a microscope

2. The uses of the apparatus are:

A - produces the light required to so as to see clearly the movement of the particles.

B - converges the rays of light from the source to the smoke cell.

C - is made of glass and used for encamping the smoke particles so as not to mix with air.

D - is used for the clear view or observation or study of the motion of the smoke particles in the cell.

A car is to be hoisted by elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage, which is 48 ft above the ground. If the elevator can

belka [17]

Answer: 21.91 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Maximum height of the car, h = 48 ft

Acceleration of the elevator, a = 0.6 ft/s²

Deceleration of the elevator, -a = 0.3 ft/s²

Maximum speed of the elevator, v = 8 ft/s

Initial speed of the elevator, u = 0

If when the elevator accelerate from 0 to maximum velocity, v.

Let s be the vertical distance traveled during acceleration.

v² = u² - 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (8² - 0) / 2*0.6

s = 64 / 1.2

s = 53.33 ft

If when the elevator decelerates from maximum velocity, v to zero.

Let S be the vertical distance traveled during deceleration

u² = v² + 2aS

S = (u² - v²) / 2a

S = (0 - 8²) / 2 * 0.3

S = -64 / 0.6

S = 106.67 ft

Since he sum of s and S (i.e s + S) is greater than 48 ft, then the elevator will switch from acceleration to deceleration

without reaching the maximum velocity. Below, the switching point is labeled y.

v² = u² + 2ay

y = v²/2a

Inserting this into the earlier deceleration equation, we have

-v²/2 = d * [48 - (v²/2a)], where

d = deceleration

a = acceleration

Therefore, v = [4.√6. a √-(a.b/a)] / b

Where b = acceleration - deceleration

v = 4.382 ft/s

Using this newly found v, we proceed to find our s

s = (u² + v²)/2a

s = 19.2 / 1.2

s = 16 ft

The transport times for each segment are found from

v = u + a*t, thus upward t1

4.382 = 0 + 0.6 * t

t = 4.382/0.6

t = 7.303 s

Also,

4.382 = 0 + 0.3 * T

T = 4.382/0.3

T = 14.607 s

The total travel time is then t + T =

7.303 + 14.607

Total time of travel is 21.91 s

Please help me important will give brainliest

irinina [24]

Pretty sure it’s C. all the others are speeding up. acceleration means gradually (over time) getting faster. So it’s C.

What are the 3 Newton's law of motions?

irinina [24]

Answer:

laws of motion relate an object’s motion to the forces acting on it. In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
