a. subduction.

Explanation:

A subduction zone is a zone where the oceanic crust dives beneath the continental crust.

Subduction zones are typical features of convergent margins where two plates pulls together.
They are formed by continent-oceanic covergence and ocean - ocean covergence.
In oceanic - continent convergence, the denser oceanic crust slides under the continental crust because it is denser than the mantle below.
In oceanic - oceanic crust convergence, either of the plate slides under the other into the mantle.
Trenches, volcanoes, earthquakes are typical geologic features associated with them.

A charge q = 3 × 10-6 C of mass m = 2 × 10-6 kg, and speed v = 5 × 106 m/s enters a uniform magnetic field. The mass experiences

NeX [460]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.004 mT

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=3\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Mass of charge particle, $m=2\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Speed, $v=5\times 10^{6}\ m/s$

Acceleration, $a=3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2$

We need to find the minimum magnetic field that would produce such an acceleration. So,

$ma=qvB\ sin\theta$

For minimum magnetic field,

$ma=qvB$

$B=\dfrac{ma}{qv}$

$B=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 3\times 10^{4}\ m/s^2}{3\times 10^{-6}\ C\times 5\times 10^{6}\ m/s}$

B = 0.004 T

or

B = 4 mT

So, the magnetic field produce such an acceleration at 4 mT. Hence, this is the required solution.

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

R = 400 m

d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

L = 2 pi R

L = 2 pi 400

L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

1 lap = 2513 m

d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

t Julian = 1675/1609 12

t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile
