According to the theory of plate to tonics how do two plates interact to form large mountain range

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 sample of hydrated calcium sulfate has a mass of 20.88 g. After it is heated, it has a mass of 16.51 g. What is the percentage
STALIN [3.7K]
We know that when you heat up calcium sulfate all the water has evaporated from it. That means that the mass of water that was initially in the sulfate is the difference in mass of the sulfate before and after the heating.
m{_H__20}=20.88-16.51=4.37g
In order to <span>get a percentage by mass we simply divide this number by the initial amount of sulfate:
</span>\%_{H__2}O=\frac{4.37}{20.88}=20.93\%<span>

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 300V. it then passes through a uniform 0.001-T magnetic f
meriva

Given :

Potential difference, V = 300 V.

Magnetic Field, B = 0.001 T.

To Find :

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron.

Solution :

We know, for perpendicular orientation, force is given by :

F = qVB\\\\F = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 300\times 0.001\ N\\\\F = 4.8\times 10^{-20}\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

What evidence is there that joule had an exceptional education?
guapka [62]
<span>Joule was educated at home with private tutors. He had to take over the brewery at a young age and missed out on attending university. Despite this, his home schooling was exceptional and led to him continuing to study science in a home based laboratory where he experimented before and after work. Joule submitted his work on the relationship of heat, electricity and mechanical work to numerous publications but it was widely ignored until William Thomson found it in 1847. He recognized Joule's work worked with an unifying pattern that was newly emerging in physics and excitedly endorsed it. Soon many other big names in the science field began rallying behind Joule's work.</span>
