An area with many volcanoes that includes the western borders of South, Central, and North America, the southern border of Alask

a, and the eastern border of Japan is often called the Ring of Fire. Why did so many volcanoes form in these areas?

The volcanoes and earthquakes that are along the ring of fire are caused by the amount of movement of tectonic plates in the area. Plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones. As rock is subducted, it melts and becomes magma.

Hope this helps! :)

Afina-wow [57]

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!

A proton in a cyclotron is moving with a speed of 2.97×107 m/s in a circle of radius 0.568 m. 1.67 × 10−27 kg is the mass of the
vivado [14]

Answer:

B = 0.546 T,  F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

            F = q v x B

We can calculate the magnitude of the force and find the direction by the right hand rule

          F = q v B sin θ

Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

         a = v² / r

We substitute

       q v B sin θ = m v² / r

The angle between the field and the radius of the circle is 90º so sin 90 = 1

        q B = m v / r

        B = m v / q r

Let's calculate ’

       B = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 2.97 10⁷ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.568)

        B = 0.546 T

The foce is

         F = q v B

         F = 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 2.97 10⁷ 0.546

         F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

A clindrical rod of uniform density is located with its center at the origin, and its axis along the axis. It rotates about its
zhenek [66]

Answer:

6093.2328 J

Explanation:

For cylindrical rod moment of inertia will be

I_X=I_Y=\frac{1}{12}m(3r^2+h^2)

I_X=I_Y=\frac{1}{12}\times 4(3\times 0.06^2+0.6^2)=0.1236 kg -m^2

we have given time =0.02 sec

Angular speed =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{0.02}=314\ rad/sec

Rotational KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.1236\times 314^2=6093.2328\ J

Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2.0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?
Slav-nsk [51]
We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 /  2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.
