Answer:

Perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collision : When the momentum of the system and the kinetic energy of the system is conserved, the collision is said to be elastic. For example, the collision of two atoms or molecules are considered to be elastic collision.

2. Inelastic collision: When the momentum  the system is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved, the collision is said to be inelastic. For example, collision of a ball with the mud.

For a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies stick together after collision.

Here, the meteorite collide with the Mars and buried inside it, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic. here the kinetic energy of a body lost completely during the collision.

1. In your own words explain what happens at a subduction zone. 2. In your own words explain what happens at a mid-ocean ridge.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

1. The subduction zone serves as the meeting point for two tectonic plates.

2. At the Mid- Ocean ridge, decompression melting occurs.

3 What causes the magma to rise is the increase in pressure caused by collection of gases by the magma.

Explanation:

Subduction zone is define as a zone where tectonic plates ( an oceanic plate slides beneath a continental plate) meets and contributes to the rise of magma to the surface in geological sciences.

At the Mid - Oceanic ridge, decompression melting occurs. As mantle ascends beneath the mid-ocean ridge, less and less rock lies above it, so large pressure changes occur, which leads to melting. The melt is less dense than the solid, and rises to the surface to form the oceanic crust.

At the subduction zone the magma that is formed is usually made up of silica rich lava. Thick silica rich magma does not release the gasses very easily so they build up inside the magma chamber. As the gasses collect in the chamber, the pressure rises. It is possible for the pressure to rise so much that the chamber cannot contain the magma and it erupts explosively.

Which missing item would complete this beta decay reaction?
Flauer [41]
For us to understand the missing item that would complete beta decay reaction, we need to achieve in depth understanding of chemical formulas and nuclear symbols. Next is to have great comprehension of the following points:
<span>1.) Neutron in nucleus breaks down and changes into a proton.
2) Then it emits an electron, as well as an anti-neutrino which go into space.
3) Lastly, atomic number continuously goes UP while mass number remains unchanged.</span>
