The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is separated into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. Mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a Continental plate. The continuous compression over time cause the rocks to be faulted and folded upwards into ranges. The Andes was formed in this way.

Continental plates also collide. When this happens no plate subducts instead they are both folded and faulted upwards. The Himalayan mountain range was formed this way.

When the two plates converge or collide they start to build pressure and slowly they lift up and create mountains

A box is dropped onto a conveyor belt moving at 3.2 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the belt is 0.28, ho
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

t = 1.16 s.

Explanation:

Given,

speed of conveyor belt, v = 3.2 m/s

coefficient of friction,f = 0.28

Using newton second law

f = ma

and we also know that frictional force

f = μ N

f = μ m g

equating both the force equation

a = μ g

a = 0.28 x 9.81

a = 2.75 m/s²

Using Kinematic equation

v = u + at

3.2 = 0 + 2.75 x t

t = 1.16 s.

Time taken by the box to move without slipping is 1.16 s.

An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.  

I hope it helps you!

Which is the phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Condensation

Explanation:

The phase change in which a substance changes from a gas to liquid is Condensation.

There are  3 natural states of matter;

Solids, Liquids, and Gases.

Matter under certain conditions can change from one state to another. When Solids are heated they change into Liquids through the process of Heating. Upon cooling, the Liquids convert to Solid through freezing. When a Liquid such as water is heated, it converts into the Gaseous state through evaporation. Upon cooling, the Gas converts back into the Liquid state through Condensation.
