Answer:

Convergent plate boundary

Explanation:

The convergent plate boundary refers to the type of boundary where two plates move towards each other. Due to this type of motion, there forms a subduction zone, where the denser plate subducts below the lighter plate. This zone of subduction is commonly identified by the presence of a deep and narrow V-shaped depression which is commonly known as the oceanic trench.

When the subducting plate enters into the region of the asthenosphere, the rocks melt and mix with the magma. This magma is then pushed upward due to the force exerted by the convection current that forms in the mantle, and further reaches the over-riding plate and eventually give rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic/island arcs.

Thus, this type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation of above-ground volcanic activities.

Assume that the radius ????r of a sphere is expanding at a rate of 70 cm/min.70 cm/min. The volume of a sphere is ????=43???????

rodikova [14]

Answer:

the rate of change in volume with time is 280πr² cm³/min

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Radius of the sphere as 'r'

$\frac{d\textup{r}}{\textup{dt}}$ = 70 cm/min

Volume of the sphere, V = $\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^3$

Surface area of the sphere as 4πr²

Now,

Rate of change in volume with time, $\frac{d\textup{V}}{\textup{dt}}$

= $\frac{d(\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^3)}{dt}$

= $3\times\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^2}\times\frac{dr}{dt}$

Substituting the value of $\frac{dr}{dt}$

= $3\times\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^2}\times70$

= 280πr² cm³/min

Hence, the rate of change in volume with time is 280πr² cm³/min

Answer:

Sleeping, since your brain is working, but your physical body is not moving at all or moving rarely, therefore there is no work done in the activity of sleeping.

What is capacitance?

WARRIOR [948]

capacitance of any given capacitor is given by the formula,

C=Q/V

where C=capacitance,Q= charge and V=voltage

therefore from the formula capacitance is charge per unit voltage.
