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.

The line-emission spectrum of an atom is caused by the energies released when electrons
Paul [167]

Answer:

makes a transition from a high to a lower energy state

Explanation:

The emission spectrum is the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted due to the transition from a state of high energy to a state of lower energy made by an electron in the atoms of the chemical element or compound. The emitted photons have an energy equal to the difference in energy between the two states.

A child is playing on a swing. As long as he does not swing too high the time it takes him to complete one full oscillation will
Aleks [24]

Answer:

We know that for a pendulum of length L, the period  (time for a complete swing) is defined as:

T = 2*pi*√(L/g)

where:

pi = 3.14

L = length of the pendulum

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, we can think on the swing as a pendulum, where the child is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the period is independent of:

The mass of the child

The initial angle

Where the restriction of not swing to high is because this model works for small angles, and when the swing is to high the problem becomes more complex.
