A scientist can assess whether a pure niobium sample is responsible for contaminating the lab with radioactivity by testing the sample. By testing the niobium sample, a scientist can determine whether it has any other element.
Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:
Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?
provide a diverse habitat for many organisms
experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts
store and transport the Sun's heat energy
reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters
Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.
Explanation:
Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
Answer:

Explanation:
For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force,
is the amount by which the length of the object changes and
is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

Answer:
Speed of the this part is given as

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate
Explanation:
As we know by the momentum conservation of the system
we will have

here we know that

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other
so we will have


now from above equation we have



Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate
