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.

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27

densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

$\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}$

$n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}$ ....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100$

$\rho=5.98$

We calculate the mass of the alloy

$m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100$

$m=111.15$

Put the value into the equation (I)

$n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}$

$n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell$

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.

In a two-body collision, if the momentum of the system is conserved, then which of the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

c) may also be conserved

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved in both elastic and inelastic type of collisions.

But the differences is that:

In an ELASTIC type of collisions, KINETIC ENERGY IS ALSO CONSERVED.

whereas, In an INELASTIC type of collision, KINETIC ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED.

So unless until type of collision is specified, we can not say anything about the conservation of kinetic energy after collision.

Hence, may also be conserved is the appropriate option here.
