Answer:
B is right at first I thought I was wrong
Explanation:
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.
Answer:
Explanation:
As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.
Answer:
The x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.
The y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Charge on first charged particle,
- Charge on the second charged particle,
- Position of the first charge =
- Position of the second charge =
The electric field at a point due to a charge 
at a point 
distance away is given by
where,
= Coulomb's constant, having value 
= position vector of the point where the electric field is to be found with respect to the position of the charge .
= unit vector along .
The electric field at the origin due to first charge is given by
is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the first charge.
Assuming, 
are the units vectors along x and y axes respectively.
Using these values,
The electric field at the origin due to the second charge is given by
is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the second charge.
Using these values,
The net electric field at the origin due to both the charges is given by
Thus,
x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.
y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.
Answer:
Volcanic activity is widespread over the earth, but tends to be concentrated in specific locations. Volcanoes are most likely to occur along the margins of tectonic plates, especially in subduction zones where oceanic plates dive under continental plates. As the oceanic plate subducts beneath the surface, intense heat and pressure melts the rock. Molten rock material, magma, can then ooze its way toward the surface where it accumulates at the surface to create a volcano. Volcanic activity can be found along the Mid-ocean ridge system as well. Here, oceanic plates are diverging and magma spreads across the ocean floor, ultimately being exposed at the surface. Crustal spreading long the ridge is partly responsible for the volcanic activity of Iceland. It is also thought that a "hot spot" lies beneath the island that contributes to volcanism.
