Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "Along two converging oceanic plate boundaries".

Explanation:

Island arcs are long chains of active volcanoes distributed along multiple islands with intense seismic activity. These geological structures are most likely formed along two converging oceanic plate boundaries because at these places more seismic activity is found. Most island arcs are the result of the descendent of the lithosphere into the subduction zone.

If two charged objects in a laboratory are brought to a distance of 0.22 meters away from each other. What is

zysi [14]

Answer:

$q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Explanation:

The charge on one object, $q_1=9.9\times 10^{-5}\ C$

The distance between the charges, r = 0.22 m

The force between the charges, F = 4,550 N

Let q₂ is the charge on the other sphere. The electrostatic force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{4550\times (0.22) ^2}{9\times 10^9\times 9.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

So, the charge on the other sphere is $2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$ .
