Answer:

Back

Explanation:

As the vehicle is moving forward the <em>inertia</em> is keeping the occupants move at the same speed and with respect to the vehicle the occupants appear to be at rest. In case of rear collision, the vehicle will suddenly move forward while the occupants will be thrown towards the back of the vehicle.

. Each valve A, B, and C, when open, releases water into a tank at its own constant rate. With all three valves open, the tank f

olasank [31]

Answer:

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Explanation:

Given that

Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr

Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr

Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr

If we treat as filling of tank is a work then

Work = time x rate

Lets take work is 1 unit

1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c) ---------1

1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c) ----------2

1 = 2(1/b+1/c) --------3

From equation 1 and 3

1=1(1/a+1/2)

a=2

Form equation 2

1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)

c=6

From equation 3

1 = 2(1/b+1/6)

b=3

So time taken by

A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr

B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr

C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr

So $time\ taken\ by\ A\ and\ B =\dfrac{2\times 3}{2+3} hr$

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Can Hotspots can be found at the edges of tectonic plates?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Hot spots don't appear at the barriers of tectonic plates, instead, they originate at hot centres known as mantle plumes. Mantle plumes exist below the tectonic plates and may develop a string of volcanoes on the Earths surface.

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.00 cm has a charge of 6.88 μC. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4.00 cm and ou

zepelin [54]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius R= 2.00

Charge = 6.88 μC

Inner radius = 4.00 cm

Outer radius = 5.00 cm

Charge = -2.96 μC

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

(a). For, r = 1.00 cm

Here, r<R

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the sphere.

(b). For, r = 3.00 cm

Here, r >R

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.88\times10^{-6}}{(3.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=6.88\times10^{7}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and the direction is towards sphere.

(c). For, r = 4.50 cm

Here, r lies between R₁ and R₂.

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the conducting material

(d). For, r = 7.00 cm

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-2.96\times10^{-6})}{(7.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=5.43\times10^{6}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and direction is away of solid sphere.

Hence, This is the required solution.
