Not exactly forces but because they are floating on the liquid mantle

<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.

A diver is swimming underneath an oil slick with a thickness of 200 nm and an index of refraction of 1.50. A white light shines
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

thickness of oil t = 200 nm

index of refraction μ = 1.5

For transmitted light :---

path difference = 2μ t

For constructive interference

path difference = n λ , λ is wavelength  of light

2μ t = n λ

λ = 2μ t /  n

For longest λ , n = 1

λ = 2μ t

= 2 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 600 nm

Wavelength in water

= 600 / refractive index of water

= 600 / 1.33

= 451.1 nm Ans

The lamp has a resistance of 10 ohms each resistor has a resistance of 10 ohms what is the total resistance of the circuit
prisoha [69]
Mark Brainliest please

Answer : if connected series, 20 ohms
And if connected parallel, answer will be less than 20 ohms

When resistors are wired in series, the total circuit resistance increases because each resistor contributes opposition to the circuit's current flow. Therefore if a 10 ohm resistor is placed in series with another 10 ohm resistor, the total resistance contributed by the two resistors is 20 ohms.

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The famous Einstein's equation is:

E=mc^2

where

E is the energy

m is the mass

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

In this equation, Einstein summarized the following fact: mass can be converted into energy, and the amount of energy released in such a process is given by the equation.

An example of application of this equation is the nuclear fusion process. In a nuclear fusion, two lighter nuclei combine into a heavier nucleus. However, the mass of the heavier nucleus is slightly less than the sum of the masses of the two original nuclei: some of the mass of the original nuclei has been converted into energy, accorging to the previous equation.
