<span>The major difference is the presence or absence of external energy source. In an electrolytic cell, one does not need an outside source of energy like a battery while in a voltaic cell the reaction occurs simultaneously, or without help. The other major difference is that in an electrolytic cell, the flow of electrons is from positive(cathode) to negative(anode). In a voltaic cell the flow of electrons is from negative(anode) to positive(cathode).</span>

A force F~ = Fx ˆı + Fy ˆ acts on a particle that

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

W = 46 J

Explanation:

We need to find the angle between the two vectors Force vector and displacement vector.

First we will find the angle α of the force vector

$tan\alpha =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\\alpha =7.125 deg\\$

Then we find the angle β of the displacement vector

$tan\beta=\frac{2}{6} \\\\beta = 18.43 deg\\$

With these two angles we can find the angle between the two vectors

∅ = α + β = 25.56 deg

The definition of work is given by the expression

$W=F*d*cos (theta)$

The absolute value of F will be:

$F=\sqrt{8^{2}+1^{2} } \\F= 8.06 N$

The absolute value of d will be:

$d=\sqrt{(6 )^{2}+(2)^{2} } \\d= 6.32m\\$

Now we have:

$W=8.06*6.32*cos(25.56)\\W=46 J$

How are hot spots used to track plate motion

wel

Hot spots are fixed locations in the earth's mantle where heat from the earth's interior rises to the surface and produces volcanism. the earth's plates, which are slowly but constantly moving, are pierced by the uprising magma. as they move away form the hotspot, the volcanoes become dormant and are replaces by new volcanoes. The direction of the line formed from the previous volcanoes indicates the direction :)))
