C) accretionary-wedge complex.

Explanation:

The accretionary wedge complex is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed from materials scraped off subducting oceanic lithosphere at a convergent margin.

Space between the subducting plate and the less dense plate gets filled by sediments scraped off the subducting plate and this forms a wedge like sediment called the accretionary wedge.

  • The accretionary wedge is invariably made up of materials found on the ocean floor.
  • Under extreme conditions, some parts of wedge transforms into metamorphic rocks.
  • The wedge is made up of: pelagic sediments, ocean floor basalts e.t.c

Effect of Solvent:
Naddik [55]

1. H2O- The water completely dissolved the salt.

Alcohol- The alcohol dissolved the salt slightly.

Glycerin-The salt has not dissolved at all.

2. Water

3. Like dissolve like basically works on the principle of polarity. It means the substances which possess similar chemical properties may dissolve in each other. For example, ethanol can be dissolved in water because both are polar in nature whereas non-polar molecules can be dissolved in non-polar solvents only.

4. Generally, a solute dissolves faster in a warmer solvent than it does in a cooler solvent because particles have more energy of movement. For example, if you add the same amount of sugar to a cup of hot tea and a cup of iced tea, the sugar will dissolve faster in the hot tea.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

When fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

When fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

When fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

When fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)

Explanation:

All of the parts of the problem are solved in the same way, so let's start with the first point (1,3).

Let's assume that the rocket's trajectory will be a straight line, so what we need to do here is to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane and then find the x-intercept of such a line.

In order to find the line tangent to the graph of the trajectory of the airplane, we need to start by finding the derivative of such a function:

y=2+\frac{1}{x}

y=2+x^{-1}

y'=-x^{-2}

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=1, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(1)^{2}}

m=y'=-1

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-3=-1(x-1})

y-3=-1x+1

y=-x+1+3

y=-x+4

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-x+4=0

and solve for x

x=4

so, when fired from (1,3) the rocket will hit the target at (4,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2, 2.5)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{4}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}(x-2})

y-2.5=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{2}

y=-\frac{1}{4}x+3

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{4}x+3=0

and solve for x

x=12

so, when fired from (2, 2.5) the rocket will hit the target at (12,0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (2.5, 2.4)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=2.5, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(2.5)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{4}{25}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}(x-2.5})

y-2.4=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{2}{5}+2.4

y=-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{4}{25}x+\frac{14}{5}=0

and solve for x

x=\frac{35}{20}

so, when fired from (2.5, 2.4) the rocket will hit the target at (\frac{35}{2},0)

Now, let's calculate the coordinates where the rocket will hit the target if fired from (4, 2.25)

so, we can substitute the x-value of the given point into the derivative, in this case x=4, so:

y'=-\frac{1}{x^{2}}

y'=-\frac{1}{(4)^{2}}

m=y'=-\frac{1}{16}

so we can now use this slope and the point-slope form of the line to find the equation of the line tangent to the trajectory of the airplane so we get:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}(x-4})

y-2.25=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{1}{4}+2.25

y=-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}

So we can now set y=0 so find the x-coordinate where the rocket hits the x-axis.

-\frac{1}{16}x+\frac{5}{2}=0

and solve for x

x=40

so, when fired from (4,2.25) the rocket will hit the target at (40,0)
