Earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the edges of the tectonic plates. Scientists have developed a theory that explains how these giant plates move, thereby creating, destroying, and re-forming continents and oceans over long periods of time. This theory is called the theory of plate tectonics.

Answer: plate tectonics

Explanation: plate tectonics move constantly movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes earthquakes and plate tectonics come together and create pressure upon the magma deposit underground forcing it up into a volcanic eruption

A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.

Brilliant_brown [7]

The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)

Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.

$P = \frac{W}{t}$

$W= F*s$

Therefore,

$P=\frac{F*s}{t}$

Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time

$F = 124 N,s = 32.0 m,t = 8.0 s$

$P =\frac{W*s}{t} =\frac{124N*22.0s}{8.0s} =496 W$

Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

A 2.0 m × 4.0 m flat carpet acquires a uniformly distributed charge of −10 μC after you and your friends walk across it several

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The charge on the dust particle is $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length is $l = 2.0 \ m$

The width is $w = 4.0 \ m$

The charge is $q = -10\mu C= -10*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass suspended in mid-air is $m_a = 5.0 \mu g = 5.0 *10^{-6} \ g = 5.0 *10^{-9} \ kg$

Generally the electric field on the carpet is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{q}{ 2 * A * \epsilon _o}$

Where $\epsilon _o$ is the permittivity of free space with value $\epsilon_o = 8.85*10^{-12} \ \ m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot s^4 \cdot A^2$

substituting values

$E = \frac{-10*10^{-6}}{ 2 * (2 * 4 ) * 8.85*10^{-12}}$

$E = -70621.5 \ N/C$

Generally the electric force keeping the dust particle on the air equal to the force of gravity acting on the particles

$F__{E}} = F__{G}}$

=> $q_d * E = m * g$

=> $q_d = \frac{m * g}{E}$

=> $q_d = \frac{5.0 *10^{-9} * 9.8}{70621.5}$

=> $q_d = 6.94 *10^{-13} \ C$

Which of the following takes place in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine?A. A glow plug is used to add enough heat t

erica [24]

Answer:

Fuel oil is mixed with a proper portion of compressed air

Explanation:

A gas turbine has three main part, which are

combustion chamber
air compressor
power turbine

The combustion chamber is responsible for mixing fuel with a proper portion of compressed air.

The air compressor supplies air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion chamber

The power turbine produces the power to drive the air compressor.
