Which type of plate boundary or zone would be most likely to lead to above-ground volcanic activity?

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.

How long will bus take to travel 150 km at an average speed of 40km/hr
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.75 hours

Explanation:

By v = \frac{d}{t}

where v is the velocity (or speed in this case)

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

t = \frac{150}{40}=3.75
Therefore it takes 3.75 hours for the bus to travel 150 km and 40 km/hr.

Sully uses a battery and a coil of wire to create an electromagnet. Using the same materials, if he wants to increase the streng
garik1379 [7]
An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced using the current. The simplest form of an electromagnet is a wire wrapped around in a coil.
The strength of magnetic field of such magnet is given with this equation:
B=\frac{NI\mu}{L}
Where N is the number of loops in the coil, I is the strength of the current flowing through the coil, L is the length of the coil, and \mu is <span>permeability of the electromagnet core material.
From this equation, we can see that increasing both the current and number of loops will increase the strength of the magnet.
Both BLANKS should be Increase. When you use the additional battery you will have more voltage and more voltage means more electricity.</span>

When thermal energy is added to an object what happens to the motion of the particles
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature is called heat. When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises.

A block (mass m1) lying on a frictionless inclined plane is connected to a mass (mass m2) by a massless cord passing over a pull
azamat

Answer:

a) System aceleration:

  • a=\frac{g(m_2-m_1sin(\theta))}{m_1+m_2}

b) Direction of movement:

The block m_1 down the plane when the acceleration is negative. This occur when:

m_2-m_1sin(\theta)

The block m_2 up the plane when the acceleration is positive. This occur when:

m_2-m_1sin(\theta)>0

Explanation:

For the block m_1 the move direction is parallel (||) to the plane

\sum F_{||}=m_1a=T-sin(\theta)mg  (1)

For the block m_2  the move direction is vertical (y)

\sum F_y=m_2a=m_2g-T  (2)

Both blocks are connected with the same cable, therefore, the tension on the cable and the acceleration is the same for both.

Solving the equation 2 for T:

T=m_2g-m_2a   (3)

replacing (3) in the equation (1)

m_2g-m_2a- m_1gsin(\theta)=m_1a  (4)

solving (4) for a:

a=\frac{g(m_2-m_1sin(\theta))}{m_1+m_2}
