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

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

The breaking car had 10,000 J of kinetic energy before breaking after breaking it had 2000 J of kinetic energy. How much thermal
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J
