Convergent boundaries form earthquakes, which forms mountains and islands.

Answer:

Convergent plate boundaries are usually characterized by the convergent motion of the tectonic plates and the formation of a subduction zone, deep sea-oceanic trenches.

When the plates move towards each other, there forms a subduction zone where the denser plate goes below the lighter one. This subduction zone is basically identified by the presence of a narrow V-shaped type of depression, which is commonly known as the trench.

As the denser plate subducts into the layer of the asthenosphere, the rocks undergo partial melting and mixes with the magma. This magma is then brought upward into the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes.

This type of plate boundary is responsible for the occurrence of deep-focus earthquakes.

kondaur [170]
Slicing a tomato is still considered a physical change because you are only altering the shape of it by slicing it. It does not change color or make bubble when slicing the tomato. Therefore, it is still a physical change

In an experiment conducted using the Young's double-slit apparatus, the separation between the slits is 20 µm. A first-order con
jeka57 [31]
To solve this problem, we use the formula
λ = s sin θ
where s is the separation and θ is the angle interference
So,
λ = 20 x 10^-6 sin 2.5
λ = 8.72 x 10^-7 m

The required angle for the fourth order bright fringe is
θb = sin⁻¹ (4λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 10.04°

The required angle for the fourth order dark fringe is
θd = sin⁻¹ (4.5 λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4.5 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 11.31°

An object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the s
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'a' 'The momentum is always conserved while as the kinetic energy may be conserved'

Explanation:

The conservation of momentum is a basic principle in nature which is always valid in an collision between 'n' number of objects if there are no external forces on the system. It is valid for both the cases weather the collision is head on or glancing or weather the object is elastic or inelastic.

The energy is only conserved in a collision that occurs on a friction less surface and the objects are purely elastic. Since in the given question it is mentioned that only the surface is friction less and no information is provided regarding the nature of the objects weather they are elastic or not hence we cannot conclusively come to any conclusion regarding the conservation of kinetic energy as the objects may be inelastic.
