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.

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. What type of change is it? Explain.
lorasvet [3.4K]

\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {red}{Question:}}}}}}

\sf \red{When \: baking \: soda \: is \: mixed \: with \: lemon \: juice, \: bubbles \: are \: formed \: with \: the \: evolution \: of \: a \: gas.}

\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {blue}{Answer:}}}}}}

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. The gas is formed in the reaction is Carbon dioxide. CO_{2} is formed.

The change which happened in this reaction is a chemical change.

\boxed{ \frak \green{Explanation}}

Since, in chemical change we can't bring a substance to it's actual form how it was in earlier.

Examples: burning of paper is chemical, since we can't get the fine paper again after it is burnt.

Thus, the above reaction is also a chemical change, since we can't get back the lemon juice how it was earlier.

Find the velocity and distance travelled of a car that is accelerating at 3 m/s2 for 4 seconds.
marta [7]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 3 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: Δx and v

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (4 s) + ½ (3 m/s²) (4 s)²

Δx = 24 m

v = at + v₀

v = (3 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 12 m/s
