Which statement describes the process of subduction? Convection currents pull a plate into the mantle. One plate slides beneath

another due to gravitational pull. Materials are transferred within Earth’s interior by density. Heat cycles in the mantle cause plates to constantly move.

Answer:

Subduction is the geological process in which one plate moves under another due to gravitational pull. The regions where this process occurs called subduction zones.

A subduction is a tectonic plate which is made up of crust and upper layer of mantle. These two layers are called as lithosphere.

Example: South America, central America and cascade volcanoes. In which the oceanic plate descends beneath a continental plate.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 90.0 units and a y component of -61.0 units. A) Assuming the x co

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A) magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

B)22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)

Explanation:

given vector = V1 = x i - 60 j

magnitude of V1 = 90

x - component can be found out by resultant formula

90^2 = x^2 + (-60)^2

x = 67.08 = 67.1 units (3sf)

FOR THE VECTOR 80 UNITS IN -VE X DIRECTION

The X component is -80-------(1)

The Y component is 0 ---------(2)

<u>For the x- component of new added vector:</u>

(1)----------- x + 67.1 = -80

x = -147.1 = -147.1

<u>For the y- component of new added vector:</u>

<u>(</u>2)---------- y - 61 = 0

y = 61.0 (3sf)

the new added vector is = -147.1 i + 61 j

magnitude = sqrrt(147.1^2 + 61^2) = 159.2 units

direction = arctan (61 / 147.1)

= 22.5° (clockwise form -ve X axis)
