According to the theory of plate tectonics, the lithosphere is separated into sections that are called tectonic plates. These pl

ates move in different directions in response to the forces in Earth’s mantle beneath them. Which of the following correctly matches the plate movement with its description?
convergent boundary; plates move away from one another causing rift valleys and the formation of new crustal material


transform boundary; plates slide past one another in opposite directions causing the formation of faults and earthquakes


divergent boundary; as the plates come together gravity pushes the edge of one plate underneath the edge of a neighboring plate


subduction zone; as the plates come together increased pressure causes the plates to fault and fracture leading to the formation of mountains

To reduce inductive reactance, what devices are normally placed on transmission or distribution lines?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer : Capacitors

Explanation : Capacitors are normally  placed on transmission or distribution lines when to reduce inductive reactance.

This is because it enhances electromechanical and voltage stability , limit voltage dips at network nodes and reduces the power loss.

So, we can say that inductive reactance normally replace by the capacitors.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is "1.01 \times 10^{-13}"

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\

Calculating the closest distance:

\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\

=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\

=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}
