Convection currents generated within the asthenosphere push magma upward through volcanic vents and spreading centres to create new crust. Convection currents also stress the lithosphere above, and the cracking that often results manifests as earthquakes.

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol
damaskus [11]
Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

Use Snell's Law to solve the following:
azamat

Answer:

1.171

Explanation:

if n₁sinΘ₁=n₂sinΘ₂, then n₂=n₁sinΘ₁ / sinΘ₂;

n_2=\frac{1.5*sin45}{sin65}=\frac{1.5*0.707}{0.906} =1.1705

A 6.00-kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 37.0° above the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
forsale [732]
We need to see what forces act on the box:

In the x direction:

Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.

In the y direction:

N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force. 

From N-Gcosα=0 we get: 

N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.

Now to solve for Fh:

Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,

Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²

Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N

The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm
