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 point charge of 6.0 nC is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 1.0 cm, outer radius = 2.0 cm)

egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

q = 6.0 nC = $6 \times 10^{-9} C$

inner radius (r) = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m (as 1 cm = 100 m)

So, there will be same charge on the inner surface as the charge enclosed with an opposite sign.

Formula to calculate the charge density is as follows.

$\sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{A}$ .......... (1)

Since, area of the sphere is as follows.

A = $4 \pi r^{2}$ ........... (2)

Hence, substituting equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.

$\sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{4 \pi r^{2}}$

= $\frac{6 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.01)^{2}}$

= $0.477 \times 10^{-5}$

or, = 4.77 $\mu C/m^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the resulting charge density on the inner surface of the conducting sphere is 4.77 $\mu C/m^{2}$ .

The portion of earth underneath the crust containing the asthenosphere and the mesosphere is the

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The portion of earth underneath the crust containing the asthenosphere and mesosphere is outer core and inner core .

Explanation:

The outer core of the earth is ball of very hot metals . Its temperature is hot enough to melt all metals into liquid state . This is mainly composed of the melted metals nickel and iron . This has got got temperature between 4000 degrees to 9000 degrees .

Inner core is underneath the outer core ,Here the pressure is too high and this makes the metals squeezed and not even able to move like liquid . They are forced to vibrate just like a solid . This has got a thickness of 800 miles . The pressure here is comparably 3,000,000 times the air pressure at sea level.

You are coasting on your 12-kg bicycle at 13 m/s and a 5.0-g bug splatters on your helmet. The bug was initially moving at 1.5 m

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s

b) Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s

c) ΔV = - 0.0007 m/s

d) ΔV = - 0.0008 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the bicycle, mc = 12 kg

- The mass of passenger, mp = 70 kg

- The mass of the bug, mb = 5.0 g

- The initial speed of the bicycle, vpi = 13 m/s

- The initial speed of the bug, vbi = 1.5 m/s

Find:-

a.What is the initial momentum of you plus your bicycle?

b.What is the initial momentum of the bug?

c.What is your change in velocity due to the collision the bug?

d.What would the change in velocity have been if the bug were traveling in the opposite direction?

Solution:-

- First we will set our one dimensional coordinate system, taking right to be positive in the direction of bicycle.

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,c) of the passenger and the bicycle would be:

Pi,c = vpi* ( mc + mp)

Pi,c = 13* ( 12+ 70 )

Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,b) of the bug would be:

Pi,b = vbi*mb

Pi,b = 0.005*1.5

Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s

- We will consider the bicycle, the passenger and the bug as a system in isolation on which no external unbalanced forces are acting. This validates the use of linear conservation of momentum.

- The bicycle, passenger and bug all travel in the (+x) direction after the bug splatters on the helmet.

Pi = Pf

Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)

Where, V : The velocity of the (bicycle, passenger and bug) after collision.

1066 + 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

V = 1066.0075 / 82.005

V = 12.9993 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.9993 = - 0.00070 m/s

- If the bug travels in the opposite direction then the sign of the initial momentum of the bug changes from (+) to (-).

- We will apply the linear conservation of momentum similarly.

Pi = Pf

Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)

1066 - 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

V = 1065.9925 / 82.005

V = 12.99911 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.99911 = -0.00088 m/s

What will one see during an annular eclipse?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse are the four different types of the eclipses. When the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, the annular eclipse occurs. The new moon is invisible from the earth and it is silhouetted against the sun, this can only be seen in annular eclipse. Annular word means ring shaped, we can see a dark ring of fire in annular eclipse. It has five different stages that are first contact, second contact, maximum eclipse, third contact and 4th contact.
