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.

How are a symbol and a model both examples of a representation?
viva [34]

Answer:

A symbol and a model are both examples of a representation because they are presented in place of the real thing.

Explanation:

A symbol is a sign, a letter, mark, token, figure, or image used to stand in place of an object, function, or process.  For example, co2 is used in Chemistry to represent carbon dioxide.  There are many symbols representing other objects or meanings.  Mathematically, we can state that "a" equals 40.  "a" is a symbol representing the numerical value "40." Similarly, a model is a representation of a structure or a person on a smaller scale.  For example, Architects produce models of buildings and other projects that they design.

What is the friction​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) a_c = 1.09m/s^2

b) T = 720.85N

Explanation:

With a balance of energy from the lowest point to its maximum height:

m*g*L(1-cos\theta)-1/2*m*V_o^2=0

Solving for V_o^2:

V_o^2=2*g*L*(1-cos\theta)

V_o^2=2.408

Centripetal acceleration is:

a_c = V_o^2/L

a_c = 2.408/2.21

a_c = 1.09m/s^2

To calculate the tension of the rope, we make a sum of forces:

T - m*g = m*a_c

Solving for T:

T =m*(g+a_c)

T = 720.85N

An airliner lands with a speed of 50.0 m/s. Each wheelof the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.52378

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 50 m/s

r = Radius = 1.25 m

I = Moment of inertia = 110 kgm²

N = Weight supported by wheels = 14000 N

The angular velocity

\omega=\dfrac{V}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{50}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \omega=40\ rad/s

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{40-0}{0.48}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=83.33\ rad/s^2

Frictional force is given by

f=\dfrac{I\alpha}{r}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{110\times 83.33}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow f=7333.04\ N

The coefficient of friction is given by

\mu=\dfrac{f}{N}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{7333.039}{14000}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.52378

The coefficient of friction is 0.52378
