Answer:

Subduction

Explanation:

Subduction is the movement of the tectonic plates such that the downward and sideways movement of the plate's edge results in the in the sinking of the plate that is pressed below by other plate into the mantle.

This sinking occurs as a result of the huge amount of gravitational potential energy.

This process occurs in deep ocean trenches and takes place at the plate's convergent boundaries.

The zone where the process of subduction takes place is referred to as subduction zones.

In your own words describe what free fall is
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

u are falling

Explanation:

In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.

(a) A physicist performing a sensitive measurement wants to limit the magnetic force on a moving charge in her equipment to less
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

q = 7.4 10⁻¹⁰ C

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force is given by the expression

        F = q v x B

Where the blacks indicate vectors, q is the electric charge, v at particle velocity and B the magnitude of the magnetic field. If the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the sine is 1

      F = q v B

Let's calculate the charge

      q = F / vB

      q = 1.00 10⁻¹² / 30.0 B

For the magnetic field of the earth we have a value between 25μT and 65μT, an intermediate value would be 45 μT, let's use this value.

     q = 1 10⁻¹² / (30 45 10⁻⁶)

    q = 7.4 10⁻¹⁰ C

b) In laboratories and modern electronics, currents of up to 1 10⁻⁶ A can be achieved without much difficulty, in advanced and research laboratories currents of up to 1 10⁻¹² can be managed. Load values ​​(coulomb) cannot they are widely used today for work, but 1 mA = 3.6C, so we see that getting loads with the value of 10⁻¹⁰ C implies very small current less than 1 10⁻¹³ A, which only in laboratories of Very specialized can be created. Consequently, from the above it would be difficult to find loads lower than the calculated

The electrostatic charge is the one created by the friction between two surfaces, it is an indicated charge, in this case it would be possible to have better wing loads found from 10⁻¹⁰C
